Glittering L.A. Megamansion With ‘Dramatic’ 50-Foot Water Wall and Swim-Up Bar Hits the Market for $88 Million
Jul
An amenity-packed Los Angeles megamansion that is perched above the Bel-Air Country Club has been put on the market for the very first time—with an eye-watering asking price of $88 million.
The newly completed residence, which was designed by renowned architecture firm Saota, was created to offer “true resort style living,” as evidenced by the laundry list of features that are found across the 1.7-acre spread, including a rooftop wellness pavilion and an infinity pool with a swim-up bar.
At the center of the parcel is a dazzling 18,000-square-foot home that was developed by Michael Chen’s Luxford Group. The company purchased a vacant lot for $14.5 million in 2015 and constructed this megamansion atop it. Since it was completed in 2023, the residence has been used as a venue for a number of glittering functions, including a Louis Vuitton design exhibit.
Perched on a promontory “just two minutes from Sunset Boulevard,” the glamorous sanctuary, which has sparkled its way to the top of the week’s most expensive homes list, features an Arclinea showroom kitchen, a 1,000-bottle wine gallery, a Dolby Atmos cinema, a hand-carved stone bar, and a 50-foot cascading water wall.
Offering sweeping views from Santa Monica to the Pacific Ocean, the residence also has a four-stop elevator and a “showroom-style” garage with custom Italian millwork and Schweiss bifold glass door that can accommodate up to nine sports cars.
More jaw-dropping estates to make the week’s most expensive homes list include an Aspen mountain retreat, a 2-acre Hamptons sanctuary, and a 2,380-acre Texas farm.
