RUMOR: Not One, But TWO Crazy Los Angeles Mansions Are On Sale For $150 Million

Meredith Galante | Jul. 24, 2012, 5:47 PM

For anyone who thinks the luxury real estate market in California is in peril, just take a look the wealthy neighborhoods of Los Angeles.
Not one, but two properties in the area are reportedly being shopped around with $150 million price tags.
Today celebrity real estate blogger the Real Estalker reported that billionaire widow Dawn Arnall was quietly shopping her spread, called Owlwood, for that amount. And just last week, the same blogger reported that real estate tycoon Jeff Greene was rumored to be listing his Beverly Hills Palazzo di Amore for the same amount.

The Owlwood estate is on sale for $150 million.

Jeff Greene's $150 million home.

Arnall's Owlwood is a 9.83-acre estate that is reportedly one of the largest in the area. The house, which once belonged to Sonny Bono and Cher, spans 12,000 square feet. The Hollywood Reporter reported in 2010 that the home had an indoor swimming pool and "gold bathroom-sink fixtures."
Greene originally bought his 25-acre estate for $35 million. He later put another $15 million in renovations into the home. It has 11 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms over 43,000 square feet, which includes a a 6,000-square-foot ballroom.
The homes aren't officially listed, but we grabbed some aerial screenshots from Bing Maps to give you an idea of what a $150 million pad could look like.

In a country full of $100M-plus properties, this one brings new meaning to the words "crown jewel." Located in the exclusive Los Angeles enclave of Holmby Hills, Fleur de Lys was designed by Richard Robertson III and completed in 2002 for billionaire David Saperstein and his then-wife, Suzanne. After David's much-publicized affair with their Swedish nanny, the two went through a much-publicized divorce that left his ex with the palatial 35,000-square-foot mansion. Much like the largest private residence in the country, Fleur de Lys was also inspired by Versailles (practically a requirement for homes of this stature, apparently) and boasts 100 total rooms, including 12 bedrooms, 15 baths, marble walls, limestone floors, a ballroom, accommodations for a 10-person staff, two kitchens, a 50-seat screening room, a nine-car garage, and a three-bedroom caretaker's house, not to mention rare Louis XIV and Louis XV antiques galore. The property first hit the market in 2007, pulled off in October 2009, and again listed for its original ask—a staggering $125M—this past July

An Immaculate Côte d'Azur-Inspired Lakefront Mansion




Location: Palm Beach, Fla.
Price: $14,250,000
The Skinny: Palm Beach, that famed rich man's winter haven, has its fair share of opulent mansion, so many that this one, recently listed for $14.25M, is somewhat run of the mill. Even that high price tag isn't going to break any records on this slender Florida island and (heaven forbid!) it fronts on the lake rather than the ocean. Still, the house and 0.83-acre grounds appear immaculately maintained and any sort of waterfront is something to brag about in these parts. With four bedrooms for the owner and guests, two staff bedrooms, and five baths, this inspired estate could use an updated interior, but the current owners should be forgiven for the dated decor: they've owned the house for 24 years.
