Spelling Mansion “Officially” for Sale

by Roberta Murphy

In 2006, we reported that Candace Spelling, 63, and widow of the later Aaron Spelling, was shopping for a $150 million buyer for her Holmby Hills home:

….Candy Spelling, widow of the late Aaron Spelling, has quietly put their legendary 56,000 square foot, 123-room Holmby Hills mansion on the market for $150 million. Sources say the Westside Estate Agency (WEA) has the pocket listing and that the property is being discretely shopped among Realtors and their potential buyers.

It is now, at last, officially listed for sale.

Built in 1991, nobody has an exact count of rooms in the Spelling Manse these days–including the listing Realtors. Among the more luxurious, though,  are a bowling alley, wine cellar and tasting room, a humidity-controlled silver storage room, China room, gift-wrapping rooms, library, gym, media room and one of Spelling’s enduring entertaining favorites: The screening room, where the projection screen emerges from the floor at the same time windows are automatically shaded.

The Spellings also finished off the home’s substantial attic and had a barber and beauty salon installed.

The servants’ quarters alone feature a large kitchen, 7 bedrooms, 5 fireplaces and 4 wet bars.

Outdoors are 18th century gardens and citrus orchard, swimming pool and spa, reflection pool, waterfalls, and spacious pool house with a kitchen.  Additionally, there are 16 car ports and room for valets to park over 100 cars.

This luxurious mansion sits on 4.6 acres, is a neighbor to the Los Angelese Country Club –and is the largest home in Los Angeles County.

Where will the owner move once the home is sold? Candy Spelling has already purchased a $47 million 2-story penthouse that crowns a residential tower in downtown Los Angeles.

And yes, I would love to represent the buyer for this property!
