Description

The small community of Lake Sherwood is situated in the mountains of Ventura County, northwest of Los Angeles. The man-made lake and surrounding forest land was used in the 1922 filming of Robin Hood, and as the setting for many subsequent movies.
The house designed by Stacy-Judd for Neal Monroe contains many of his signature "Mayan" influences. With triangular windows, ornamental landscaping, and ornate interior details, this is one of Stacy-Judds' larger and most expensive private home commissions.
