Former Telemundo CEO Roland Hernandez has listed his stunning Pasadena estate for an impressive $25 million. This luxurious property, designed by the esteemed architectural firm Buff & Hensman in 1997 and expanded in 2002, sits on a sprawling 3.39 acres, offering breathtaking views of the San Rafael Hills and the city of Pasadena.

One of the largest private view estates in greater Pasadena, the Hernandez House sits on 3.4 acres in the prestigious San Rafael Hills.

The residence boasts a massive 20,567 square feet of living space, featuring eight bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, and an array of premium amenities designed for both luxury and comfort. The estate’s design harmoniously blends the indoors with the outdoors, with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, allowing natural light to flow in and providing serene views of the meticulously landscaped grounds.

Designed by the iconic and pioneering firm of Buff & Hensman in 1997 and expanded in 2002, the 8-BR suite and 14-BA main structure spans three levels of living space, purposefully designed for an organic relationship between lifestyle and site.
The home was planned so all major areas are oriented towards the best views. 20′ ceilings with sides of glass open to the rear yard, ‘merging’ with the surrounding environment.

Key highlights of the property include a 60-foot lap pool bisected by a limestone bridge, an expansive family pool with a spa, a champion-sized lighted tennis court, and a fully equipped guest house with two bedrooms, a kitchen, and an outdoor kitchen with a fireplace. The home also features a wine room, an entertainment lounge, a sauna, and a gym, offering everything needed for leisure and relaxation.

60′ pool is bisected by elevated limestone bridge, creating a lap pool and waterfall to the north and wider family pool with spa to the south.
Large lawn leads to glass paneled 2BR/2BA guest house with kitchen and fireplace that can be completely opened to lawn and adjacent N/S lighted champion tennis court.

This sale marks a significant leap in value from when the property was purchased in 1994 for just $700,000. Now on the market for $25 million, the home stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and architectural ingenuity of Buff & Hensman, representing one of Pasadena’s finest estates.

Fully gated and mostly level, the site provides sweeping views looking east over the historic Colorado St bridge and the city of Pasadena and dramatic mountain vistas to the north and east.
