Lake Sherwood Real Estate

Life in Lake Sherwood

Centered on a private, naturally fed reservoir in the Santa Monica Mountains, Lake Sherwood is widely regarded as one of the most exclusive communities in the Conejo Valley. The community is almost entirely residential, with most residents relying on neighboring Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks for day-to-day needs.

The Sherwood Country Club

At the heart of the community sits Sherwood Country Club, home to a championship Jack Nicklaus signature golf course and a clubhouse with Georgian architecture — one of California's most prestigious private golf settings, and a defining draw for buyers seeking that lifestyle.
