A super-luxury California property known as The Manor recently sold for $ 119.75 million (7.5 billion rubles), making it the most expensive home ever sold in Los Angeles. It is a house with 123 rooms and an interesting story.
The French castle is located in the prestigious Holmby Hill area. One of the greatest mansions in all of Los Angeles occupies five acres of flat land and is bordered by the famous LA Country Club.
The house belonged to media stars.
TV show producer Aaron Spelling and his wife Candy ordered the construction of a 56,000-square mega-community. m in the summer of 2011. Five years after her husband’s death, Candy put up a house for sale and sold it for $ 85 million in cash to Formula 1 heiress Petra Ecclestone.
This building was magnificent before Petra and her husband bought it. The mansion had humidity controlled rooms, rooms for storing cut flowers, a room for packing gifts, and even a hairdresser. There was a bowling room in the basement, and one room was allocated for the Candy doll collection.
Classic interior
The entire palace was decorated in a classic style. Sparkling floors, furniture, door handles, furniture upholstery, cast-iron grates - all items were of excellent quality. During trips to Europe, Candy and her designer chose luxury goods themselves for the purchase of paintings, fabrics, lamps.
Outside, a long winding road leads to a circular courtyard, a fountain and a place for 100 cars. The house is simply huge, and its territory looks like a small town.
Immediately after taking over the home in June 2011, Ecclestone revised the mansion's design and hired designer Gavin Brodin to complete the huge task. In 2016, she decided to sell the property for three years. Originally valued at $ 200 million, it was eventually sold for $ 120 million.
Entertainment facilities
The large and luxurious house is ideal for accommodating VIP guests. For their relaxation there is a huge snow-white living room with a black piano, from which you can go into the salon, decorated in gray and beige colors. But the basement for bowling, designed as a night club, contrasts sharply with the style of the palace.
The mansion has a movie theater with 20 theater seats, which Petra and her ex-husband James Stent used to show their friends' films. With two levels of comfortable seating, carpeted floors, a false ceiling and a movie screen that rises from the floor, it is the perfect place to relax and unwind.
The spa, luxurious bedrooms and 27 bathrooms are decorated with Greek columns and mirrors.
The territory is surrounded by gardens and parks, there are ponds, fountains and a huge pool.
The billionaire who bought this castle has a very good taste.
