Direct AnswerLake Sherwood — the gated estate community wrapped around its private namesake lake and the Jack Nicklaus-designed Sherwood Country Club course in the Hidden Valley hills south of Westlake Village — is the Conejo's most complete luxury package: lakefront villas, fairway estates, and hillside compounds generally trading $3M-$15M+ (the area's ~$4.8M average-sale reputation reflects the mix). Club membership is separate from home ownership; the community's unincorporated-Ventura-County setting brings well/septic and fire-insurance diligence on some parcels.

The package, in parts

Diligence notes specific to Sherwood

Unincorporated Ventura County mechanics apply: some parcels on private water/septic arrangements, fire-zone insurance quoting in contingency (canyon-edge terrain), and HOA-plus-club fee stacking that should be modeled as carrying cost. Off-market activity is significant at the lakefront tier — the same network dynamics as the Calabasas gates.
