Actress and film producer Hilary Swank has listed her Pacific Palisades compound for sale at $10.5 million.

The walled and gated bluff property on L.A.’s Westside takes in ocean vistas.

The Hacienda-style residence has a high-end hotel vibe with outdoor lounges, verandas and en-suite bedrooms with private balconies.

“This property has the feel and setting of being on a romantic vacation with a classic resort-like feel,” says listing agent Zach Goldsmith of Hilton & Hyland. “From the moment you enter the gates you feel like you stepped out of Los Angeles and into the Biltmore in Santa Barbara.”

Built in 1928, the main house was restored by architect Marc Appleton with attention to detail. Original pavers, colorful Spanish tile risers, wood floors and hand-painted wood beamed ceilings maintain the home’s character. “Secret Prohibition-era compartments are hidden throughout,” Goldsmith says.
