LOS ANGELES, CA — In Southern California, resort-style living is all about a zen-like yard that takes full advantage of the weather and beauty of a California sunset.

Naturally, Jamie Durie, host of HGTV's "The Outdoor Room," has listed designed a backyard to die for. The Australian landscape guru has dropped the price on his Hollywood Hills mid-century modern to $2,419,000.
