Though it’s been barely seven months since John Fogerty paid Sylvester Stallone just over $17 million for his 2.2-acre ranch deep in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, the former Creedence Clearwater Revival founder and frontman is already seeking a new owner for his place in the ritzy guard-gated community of Hidden Hills with a hefty $4.3 million bump in price, asking $21.5 million.
Fogerty picked up the equestrian property last October for well under Stallone’s $22.5 million asking price, or $1 million less than the Rambo and Rocky star paid for the keys back in spring 2022. But it appears that neither of the gents made any substantial alterations to the place during their short stays, with the home having originally been decked out with East Coast-inspired interiors by celebrity designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard for a previous owner.
Built in 2014, and tucked away behind gates and mature trees at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac, the estate includes a white wood-shingled main house and detached guesthouse—for a total of five bedrooms and eight baths in a little more than 10,400 square feet. Also on tap are a large poolside cabana warmed by a fireplace and four-stall horse barn, plus a professional-size riding arena, greenhouse and an attached garage that can accommodate up to four vehicles.
In addition to a riding arena, the 2.2-acre spread contains four separate structures.

Especially standing out in the two-story primary dwelling is a spacious great room sporting a vaulted wood-beam ceiling topped with skylights, fireplace and walls of glass spilling out to a covered terrace. A formal dining room and family room connect to the gourmet kitchen, which is outfitted with an eat-in island, and top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. There’s also a projector-equipped media room, mirror-walled gym and wine cellar with a tasting room.
Upstairs, the primary suite comes complete with a sitting area, private balcony, two showroom-style closets, and a luxe bath sporting dual vanities, a soaking tub and glassy steam shower; and outdoors, the sprawling grounds are laced with fruit and avocado trees, organic vegetable gardens and a koi pond, and host a custom swimming pool with a Baja shelf and spa, fire-pit, as well as plenty of spots ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining.
In addition to their Hidden Hills spread, Fogerty and his longtime wife Julie still own an even larger estate out in the Hidden Valley community near Thousand Oaks. That 20-acre compound was up for grabs at $20 million in early 2023, though it’s since been removed from the market. As for Stallone, he and wife Jennifer have traded California for Florida, where they own a $35 million Palm Beach mansion.
