The apex of the Conejo market
Sherwood is where Westlake Village's luxury tier peaks — estate lots, championship golf, the lake, and gated privacy against the mountains. The Westlake Village pillar covers the broader market; this is the top of it.
The four things buyers must understand
- Membership ≠ ownership: Sherwood Country Club membership (golf, dining, amenities) is separate from buying a home in the area — confirm membership structure and availability with the club.
- Lake & waterfront rights: access and waterfront vary by enclave — verify exactly what a given property conveys.
- Privacy & security: the gated communities deliver genuine seclusion — a core part of the value here.
- Fire-insurance reality: mountain-edge VHFHSZ status plus high replacement cost make coverage a real line item — see the luxury fire-insurance guide.
How the tier trades
At this level, comps are thin and each estate is somewhat unique — lot, view, waterfront, privacy, and finish all swing value materially. Representation that understands the membership, the enclaves, and the insurance is the difference between an informed purchase and an expensive surprise. The waterfront-specific market is in the Island guide; corporate buyers see the relocation guide.

Frequently asked questions
Does buying in Sherwood include country club membership?
No. Sherwood Country Club membership — golf, dining, and amenities — is separate from home ownership. Buying a home in the area does not convey membership; confirm the membership structure and availability directly with the club.
Is Lake Sherwood in a fire zone?
Much of the Sherwood / mountain-edge area falls in or near a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which, combined with high replacement values, makes insurance a real and sometimes complex line item. Price coverage before removing contingencies.
Do all Sherwood homes have lake access?
No — lake access and waterfront rights vary by enclave and property. Verify exactly what a specific home conveys rather than assuming, since it materially affects both lifestyle and value.
