A Hidden Jewel in Old Agoura: Where Home Becomes Your Creative Sanctuary and Luxury HQ
Discover La Bijou Caché in Old Agoura – a wellness-focused estate blending creativity, flexible living and rural charm with modern lifestyle and support
Step through the gates of ‘La Bijou Caché’ and you’ll understand why the French name means ‘hidden jewel’. With horses grazing nearby and sunlight streaming through Parisian-inspired windows, this Old Agoura estate gives you something special: a home that nurtures creativity whilst offering practical ways to bring in extra money.
The gated serenity of this 1.25-acre property feels worlds away from the hustle of Los Angeles, yet it’s perfectly positioned to give you the best of both. Behind the wraparound porches and vaulted ceilings lies a thoughtfully designed space where European elegance meets California outdoor living. The main house spans 4,244 square feet, but the flexible spaces tell the real story – particularly the separate guest suite with its own entrance and the multi-purpose studio that currently serves as a media room, pilates space and music studio.
When Your Guest Suite Becomes Your Workshop
The separate guest suite at La Bijou Caché works perfectly for someone wanting to blend work and life without sacrificing either. The suite’s private entrance and adjacent multi-purpose room create the ideal setup for running pilates classes, music lessons, photography sessions or wellness workshops. You get that crucial separation between personal and professional life whilst keeping everything under one roof.
The space appeals to freelancers who need dedicated workspace to combat isolation and increase focus, but don’t want the commitment of external office space. Whether you’re hosting retreats, offering creative workshops or simply renting to long-term tenants, the separate entrance means you can bring in money without feeling like you’re living in a hotel.
Country Living, City Close
Old Agoura offers rural charm with modern conveniences. Located near the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, it’s about 20-30 minutes from Malibu beaches and the San Fernando Valley, making it ideal for those wanting country living without complete isolation from urban opportunities.
For women drawn to equestrian living, La Bijou Caché offers a two-stall barn, tack room and shaded pasture. You don’t need to be an experienced rider to appreciate what these facilities offer. Women choosing alternative lifestyles are drawn to equestrian communities for the connection with nature, the sense of community among like-minded neighbours and the space to pursue outdoor interests.
The equestrian amenities also open up possibilities for horse boarding, riding lessons or equine therapy sessions, depending on local regulations and personal interests.
Rooms That Work for You
The main living areas at La Bijou Caché are designed for both entertaining and quiet reflection. The Parisian-style formal living room and two-storey billiard room provide spaces for social gatherings, whilst the primary suite includes a private retreat area and covered deck – perfect for morning coffee or evening wine with a view of the landscaped grounds.
The chef’s kitchen, centred around a French La Cornué range, offers both beauty and function. For women who’ve built work around food – whether that’s catering, cooking classes or food photography – having a kitchen that’s both beautiful and practical can be the foundation for growth.
The outdoor spaces continue this theme of versatility. Koi ponds and waterfalls create a meditative atmosphere, whilst the secluded pool and spa area offers space for relaxation or small gatherings. The pergola lounge provides another outdoor room for yoga classes, art sessions or simply reading a book in natural light.
The property’s layout supports whatever you want to do. The main house provides family living space, the guest suite offers client meeting areas or rental options, and the multi-purpose studio can adapt to whatever your work needs. A fitness trainer could run classes in the studio, a photographer could use it for intimate portrait sessions, or a wellness coach could offer one-on-one sessions in a private, calming environment.
The three-car garage provides additional storage for equipment or inventory, whilst the gated privacy means you can run work from home without worrying about disrupting neighbours or compromising security. Flexible home layouts like this support the life you want to build.
More Than Just a Pretty Place

A property like La Bijou Caché provides the physical foundation for this type of work, offering the space and setting needed to create something meaningful.
Whether you’re composing music in the studio at midnight, teaching pilates to a small group of friends, or simply enjoying a quiet morning with horses in the pasture, this type of property supports a lifestyle where home becomes the centre of both personal fulfilment and professional growth. Properties designed for modern living can adapt to whatever direction your life takes.
