Wrightwood · California · Opening 2026
A castle in the pines, kept for six.
Wrightwood Castle is a 10,000 sq ft estate becoming the only licensed residential care facility for the elderly in Wrightwood — a private, five-star residence for six.

Join the Waitlist →A philosophy
Six residents. Ten thousand square feet. One life, attended to with quiet precision.
Designed by university professor Howarth Drake and set into the alpine village of Wrightwood, the Castle was conceived as a private home — then quietly licensed for the people we love most. No corridors of strangers. No institutional hum. Just space, light, and care, tailored.
The Residence
A house that remembers how to host.
Hand-painted ceilings. A formal dining hall lit by chandelier. A commercial kitchen prepared for chef-led meals and dietary needs alike. Wrightwood Castle was built to gather people — and that instinct hasn't left.
Step inside →Care
A program built around one person.
Every resident begins with a pre-admission appraisal — personality, routines, abilities, hobbies, food, mobility, family goals. From that conversation we compose a daily living program that is uniquely theirs, and only theirs.

Amenities
More than a residence. An estate.
A summer room flooded with light. A library for quiet afternoons. A family recreation room with pool table and arcade for the grandchildren. An elevator throughout. Private bathrooms in every suite. A patio open to the pines.
The Summer Room
Glass-walled, lace-curtained, made for slow mornings and afternoon tea.
Formal Dining Hall
Chandelier, hand-painted ceiling, chef-prepared service.
Commercial Kitchen
Professional ranges and dietary stations for every meal.
The Setting
In nature.
In tranquility.
Tucked at 5,935 feet in the San Gabriels, Wrightwood is a village of pine, snowfall, and quiet roads. The Castle sits along Highway 2, framed by forest and seasons — a setting that does what good architecture cannot do alone: it heals the nervous system.
The first six

We are quietly building the waitlist for Wrightwood Castle's inaugural year. Inquiries are reviewed personally — every conversation begins with a pre-admission appraisal so the right home meets the right person.
