Their neighbor, Hollywood actress Greta Garbo, is credited with coining the Enchanted Hill phrase that stuck for a century. He planned to replace it with a mansion but never completed the project. However, he did ready the grounds for development, dividing the estate into five separate lots and adding a one-mile driveway, two guard-gated entrances and infrastructure for utilities.
At the time, Allen imagined a single-family compound that included space for equestrian facilities and a winery. His vision never came to pass, and he died in after a battle with cancer. Snaking along the ridge-top lot, the compound takes in sweeping views of the city, ocean and canyons.
