Three Consecutive Years of Record-Breaking Luxury Sales, Including Two Market-Leading Transactions by Suzanne Dyer**

Rolling Hills stands as one of the most prestigious residential enclaves in Southern California. Known for its miles of equestrian trails, 24-hour guard-gated privacy, expansive acreage, and architectural estates, the community attracts a highly discerning group of buyers seeking tranquility and exclusivity.

Within this rarefied market, luxury sales at the very top end reveal a deeper truth about which brokerage — and which agents — hold true authority over the area’s elite inventory.

Over the past three consecutive years, Strand Hill | Forbes Global Properties has represented the highest-priced home sale in Rolling Hills. Even more notably, two of those three top-tier transactions were represented by Suzanne Dyer, reaffirming her status as one of the most trusted and effective luxury agents on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

Using data from the documented sales, this blog explores how these three exceptional transactions came to define the Rolling Hills luxury segment and illustrate the consistent market leadership established by Strand Hill and its agents.

Rolling Hills: A Luxury Micro-Market Defined by Space, Privacy, and Exclusivity

Situated atop the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Rolling Hills offers a lifestyle found nowhere else in Los Angeles County. The community is characterized by:

• Multi-acre estates

• Single-level ranch architecture

• Private tennis courts, orchards, barns, and guest houses

• Long driveways and intentional separation between neighbors

• Guard-gated access and strict architectural oversight

Because of this unique character, the market functions differently from other luxury neighborhoods in Southern California. Inventory is limited, turnover is infrequent, and many estates remain within families for decades. As a result, each top sale becomes a meaningful indicator of market strength and buyer preferences.

Representing the highest sale in Rolling Hills is not routine, it requires global reach, local credibility, and deep knowledge of complex property attributes such as equestrian zoning, septic systems, acreage management, and luxury amenities.

Strand Hill | Forbes Global Properties has repeatedly demonstrated those capabilities, year after year.

Three Years of Highest Sales: What This Reveals About Rolling Hills’ Market

Taken together, the three highest Rolling Hills sales from 2023, 2024, and 2025 highlight several key market trends:

1. Luxury Buyers Prioritize Privacy and Acreage

All three estates offered more than five acres, long private driveways, and significant separation from neighboring properties. Privacy continues to be a defining value driver in Rolling Hills.

2. Single-Level Design Remains Highly Coveted

Each top sale was a single-story residence — a hallmark of Rolling Hills architecture and a preference among luxury buyers seeking accessibility, flow, and indoor-outdoor living.

3. Amenities Matter More Than Ever

High-end recreation features such as tennis courts, orchards, wellness spaces, guest houses, and resort pools significantly elevate desirability and pricing.

4. Architectural Authenticity Holds Premium Value

Mid-century properties and estates with design pedigree — like the Ernst Hahn residence — attract buyers seeking not just a home but a meaningful creative legacy.

5. Turn-Key Luxury Is Increasingly Competitive

Buyers at the top of the market show preference for homes that are fully renovated or designed for immediate use.

6. Market Leadership Requires More Than MLS Exposure

These transactions reflect the importance of global branding, luxury marketing, expert negotiations, and deep local expertise — capabilities that Strand Hill uniquely combines.

Rising Interest in Renovated and Amenity-Rich Properties

Buyers gravitate toward homes that offer immediate lifestyle value.
