An excellent aerial view of the house including the guest house (top right corner).
"At Terry's house on Cielo Drive, I felt at home. Surrounded by tall, thick pine trees and cherry blossoms, with rose covered rail fences and a cool mountain pool grown over with flowers, it snuggled up against the hillside - a gingerbread hideout that hung high above the city. There were stone fireplaces, beamed ceilings, paned windows, a hayloft, an attic, and four-poster beds. Built in the Forties by a French film star to resemble a farmhouse in…Normandy, it looked more Twentieth Century Fox than French…It was a fairy-tale place, that house on the hill, a never-never land far away from the real world, where nothing could go wrong."
