The house is noteworthy, though, for reasons that go far beyond its previous occupant. It has many original elements, indoors and out, including a petting zoo.

Built in 1947 and surrounded by lush greenery, the five-bedroom main house is laden with rustic charm, and boasts tile floors, exposed brick and stone, beamed ceilings, wood-paneled walls and mountain views from every significant room, according to the listing.

There’s a living room with a circular seating area and a fire pit, a chef’s kitchen with a pizza oven and barbecue grill, a breakfast area, a formal dining area, a library and a study.

The large primary suite is fitted with a natural rock fireplace, a private natural spa, a walk-in closet and an exercise room, all with views of the surrounding nature through a wall of windows.

Elsewhere on the 5.5-acre property is a poolside cantina, complete with a bar, tables and space for games, and a horse corral with box stalls and enclosures for chickens and peacocks

In addition to the petting zoo, there is a lake full of koi fish, a greenhouse, fruit trees in full bloom, a small vineyard, a natural waterfall that empties into another pond full of koi fish, and a large habitat for tortoises that includes a tunnel for nighttime exploration.

The house was purchased from Khan in 1984 by the seller, who was not available for comment, according to a brokerage agent.
