Jade Mills, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist affiliated with the Beverly Hills South office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, has announced the listing of The Manor, a legendary Holmby Hills estate, for $160,000,000, which is owned by Formula One heiress, Petra Ecclestone. Mills has co-listed the property with Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency as well as David Parnes and James Harris of The Agency. Originally built in 1988 by television producer Aaron Spelling and his wife Candy, The Manor is a French Chateau-styled mansion designed by architects James Langenheim & Associates with approximately 56,500 square feet on approximately 4.7 acres of land. It is one of the largest single-family homes in Los Angeles County.
Once the estate of Bing Crosby, The Spelling Manor, named after its former owner Aaron Spelling, the television producer of the original Charlie's Angels, The Love Boat, and Beverly Hills, 90210, was constructed to its magnitude in 1988. The famed Manor is surrounded by many other elite properties, including the Playboy Mansion and the Gregory Peck Estate. It has hosted countless events with Hollywood’s elite and has received such noteworthy guests such as Prince Rainier, Jackie Kennedy as well as Prince Charles and Princess Diana whose 1994 stay at the estate is commemorated by a plaque at the front entry.
Ecclestone purchased the property in 2011, and the interiors underwent an extensive renovation. W-shaped with imported limestone exteriors and a granite motor court with parking for more than 100 cars, the French chateau truly epitomizes grandeur with its 123 rooms and approximately 4.7 acres of land. The property features 14 bedrooms and 27 bathrooms, a theater, solarium, dual offices, formal and junior dining rooms, an entertainment level with game room, bar, wine cellar, bowling alley, fully equipped salon, fitness center and massage and tanning rooms. The park-like grounds include dual gated access, rolling flat lawns, pool, spa, outdoor cabana and kitchen, tennis court, extensive rose and formal gardens, citrus orchard, vegetable gardens and koi pond.
This irreplaceable estate is offered at $160 Million. It is an extraordinary opportunity to own one of a small handful of trophy estates on exceptionally large acreage in the Platinum Triangle.
