About this home

Introducing The Gracie Estate, an extraordinary equestrian retreat and former residence of Rorion Gracie, legendary Jiu-Jitsu Grand Master, founder of the UFC and pioneer of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in America. Located in a coveted pocket of Rolling Hills Estates adjacent to the Empty Saddle Club, this one-of-a-kind property blends a remarkable legacy with sleek contemporary living and an exceptional outdoor lifestyle. Set on a spacious corner lot, the home features beautiful wood floors, clean architectural lines and expansive La Cantina folding glass doors that seamlessly connect the interiors to the sprawling grounds. The remodeled kitchen showcases custom cabinetry, dual Thermador refrigerators and a professional Wolf 8-burner range. The luxurious primary suite offers soaring vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, two walk-in closets and an expansive stone-clad bathroom with steam shower. Outside, a sparkling heated pool and spa, expansive entertaining areas, charming treehouse and an impressive collection of exotic fruit trees create a private resort-like setting. Equestrian amenities include a beautiful barn with tack room and direct access to approximately 40 miles of scenic riding trails. Perhaps the property's most distinctive feature is the 900-square-foot private dojo built for Gracie, an incredible space offering endless possibilities for fitness, recreation or creative pursuits. Additional highlights include a pottery studio, thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces and an upgraded garage with custom cabinetry. With its seamless indoor-outdoor flow, expansive grounds and exceptional privacy, The Gracie Estate offers a rare opportunity to own a property where architectural sophistication, equestrian living and an extraordinary legacy come together.
