AMERICA'S MOST EXPENSIVE HOME IS ON SALE!
Back on the market and now on sale after the first buyer pulled out of his contract, last year’s most expensive U.S. home is now at third place in the highest price pecking order with a 25% reduction from $250 million to $188 million.
“This home was curated for the ultimate billionaire who wants the best of everything that exists in life,” said developer Bruce Makowsky, when he put the turnkey Bel Air giga mansion on the market for the first time in early 2017. Then it was the highest priced single-family residence for sale in the country at $250 million. It was lauded to be the 21st century’s answer to a new housing niche in the luxury market where the new owner would only have to bring his toothbrush and a bathing suit - or not - to begin living the dream. Everything else was supplied: furnishings, walls and niches filled with curated art, a $30 million collection of exotic cars and motorcycles, two fully-stocked champagne-and-wine cellars, the most advanced home-tech system in the world, two alligator-upholstered elevators and to sweeten the pie just a little more, a massive candy wall in the game room with help-yourself glass cylinders of every favorite. . . and let’s not forget the helicopter!
But that’s not all. For two years from the onset of ownership, the developer supplies a personal chef, a masseuse and five other full-time employees who live on site in a separate staff wing and whose salaries have been paid.
Awash with every conceivable amenity for comfortable living and entertaining, the 38,000-square-foot manse has two master suites, ten large VIP guest suites, 21 luxury baths, three gourmet kitchens, five bars, a massage studio and wellness spa and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Makowsky studied land from the ground and air until he found the perfect spot in the hills of Bel Air with a 270-degree view reaching from the San Gabriel Mountains to the Pacific Ocean beaches of Malibu.
From all levels of the house and from the glass-tiled pool and wide terraces, the view is spellbinding both day and night.
It’s the second chance for the next round of billionaires to get in line for an opportunity to snare this luxurious and edgy new mansion that comes fully staffed and a garage filled to the brim with glamorous cars and neighbors like Rod Stewart and Steve Martin. Newly priced at $188 million after a 25% price reduction. Co-listing agents are Rayni Williams and Branden Williams of Hilton & Hyland, Beverly Hills and Shawn Elliott of Nest Seekers International, Beverly Hills.
