Sylvester "Sly" Stallone is parting ways with his lavish, Mediterranean–inspired abode, located in the Los Angeles suburb of La Quinta. The actor, director, and screenwriter commissioned the home in 2008, adding to his impressive real-estate portfolio. Now, he's ready to bid adieu to it.

Nestled on a large, gated lot in the L.A. suburb of La Quinta, Stallone built this Mediterranean–style home in 2008.

The private dwelling spans nearly 5,000 square feet with arched entryways and coved ceilings to exude an old-world Mediterranean style. The design and construction, which Stallone oversaw himself, is said to be inspired by his Italian ancestry.

Double doors open to a vaulted foyer and the double-height living room. One of Stallone's paintings hangs on the wall.
