An architecturally quirky Hollywood Hills home—with a facade constructed from cement board panels—is listing for $29.95 million.

Tucked behind large gates, with a large motor court and a four-car garage, the 9,000-square-foot, five-bedroom home was designed by

Zoltan Pali

of SPF:architects, who designed the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. There are geometric angled louvers that “create different shades and moods and feelings throughout the day, yet don’t block the view no matter which way you look,” said listing agent

Mauricio Umansky

of the Agency, who is representing the property with colleague

Alejandro Aldrete.

The interiors have towering walls of glass and Austrian textured wood floors. Outside, a water feature stretches along the perimeter of the hillside property.

In the Hollywood Hills, this home was designed by Zoltan Pali of SPF:architects.

The home also has a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a movie theater and a spa with a sauna, steam and massage room. The master suite connects to a large terrace through sliding glass doors. Outside, there is a 70-foot infinity edge pool and a Jacuzzi.

The seller is

Mauricio Oberfeld,

a prolific Los Angeles developer whose company sold a renovated Malibu mansion for $69.9 million last year. Mr. Oberfeld couldn’t recall how much he paid for the land, which he purchased in 2002, but said he and his family moved to the completed home in 2011. “The most important driver was a house that was not trendy or gimmicky,” he said of his vision for the home. “I wanted it to look classic 100 years from now.”

Mr. Oberfeld, 47, said he said he designed the entryway as a gallery space for his art collection. On the wall, he’s hung a sculpture that spells out, “Heaven knows I’m miserable now,” a nod to the song by English rock band The Smiths. The art won’t be sold with the property.

Mr. Oberfeld said he’s selling the house because he’s ready to move on to his next personal home project in Beverly Hills. “I’m a builder so I can’t sit quiet for too long,” he said.
