After a little more than five years of ownership, Ann Wilson is moving straight on from her Northeast Florida estate resting along the shores of the St. Johns River. The nearly 12.5-acre spread, about 40 minutes away from the beachside city of St. Augustine in the suburban community of Palatka, is now on the market for $2 million.
The raven-haired lead singer and songwriter of the rock band Heart, which she co-founded with her younger guitarist and vocalist sister Nancy Wilson, acquired the property in spring 2019 for $885,000 and has since used it as a vacation home to “write new songs and create more music,” per the listing held by Jennifer Martin Faulker and Kim Martin-Fisher of Doulgas Elliman.
Nestled securely behind gates, off a quiet country lane, the property was originally built way back in the early 1900s and has seen its share of renovations and additions through the years. Included is a two-story main home and a fully renovated guesthouse, for a total of seven bedrooms and five baths in a little more than 6,000 square feet. There’s also a pathway leading down to a lengthy private dock resting alongside 510 feet of waterfront footage.
The main home has a lanai and an infinity-edge pool overlooking the St. Johns River.

A portico entryway and double stained-glass doors lead into the three-bedroom, three-bath primary dwelling, which is highlighted by a spacious tiled living area, plus a wood-clad kitchen outfitted with a center island topped by a pot hanger, a butler’s pantry with a wine fridge, and a fireside breakfast room. Elsewhere is a bookshelf-lined library, an office nook, and a principal bedroom warmed by a wood-burning fireplace, as well as a spacious upstairs balcony and a lower-level lanai flanked by a screened infinity-edge pool and spa overlooking the river.
Rounding it all out is the aforementioned guesthouse, which spans roughly 2,400 square feet and has four bedrooms, two baths, a modern kitchen, a sunroom, and an elevator to the second level. Also holding court on the tree-laced grounds is a carport with room for up to four vehicles, along with an artisan well, an irrigation system, a pair of pump houses, an RV port, and a large workshop.
The guesthouse comes complete with a large, fully modernized kitchen.

Mickey Drexler, the former CEO and chairman of J.Crew, not only has great taste in fashion but also has a keen eye for real estate. The retail legend commissioned the late French architect Thierry Despont to design several personal properties for him over the last few decades, including a rustic alpine retreat in Idaho and a sophisticated 9,000-square-foot townhouse in New York City, and in 2010, the architect completed a beachfront home in The Bahamas for Drexler and his wife Peggy. Known as Zehava and in the hands of only its second owner, the trophy estate is now being offered for a whopping $42 million, a sky-high figure that makes it the island’s most expensive single-family residential listing in The Bahamas.
Nestled off the east coast of the island of Eleuthera, Zehava occupies three and a half acres within the prestigious Narrows enclave on Harbour Island, along what locals call Billionaire’s Beach, a pristine pink sand stretch of sand. Harbor Island has long been a somewhat under-the-radar hotspot for the world’s movers and shakers, including Taylor Swift, Tom Cruise, Diane von Fürstenberg and Barry Diller, David Letterman, and duty-free tycoon Robert Miller.
Walls of windows give an intimate connection to the tropical surroundings.
BOND Bahamas
“Zehava represents a rare and unparalleled opportunity,” said broker Matthew Marco of Bond Bahamas. “With Thierry Despont’s visionary touch, this home blends timeless elegance with modern luxury, offering a living experience that is truly one-of-a-kind. Properties of this caliber, crafted by a master architect and located in such a coveted destination, seldom come to market—this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a piece of architectural history in paradise.”
Sculpted from a combination of solid poured concrete, natural Brazilian hardwood, and cream-colored travertine stone, the 9,500-square-foot structure gains lightness thanks to a butterfly-style roofline that resembles lifted wings. Internally, the design makes the most of its waterfront vantage point with soaring high ceilings, dramatic expanses of glass, and foldable slatted wood walls that open to unite the indoor living spaces to the tropical landscape.
A two-bedroom cottage for guests adds to the sense of privacy and retreat.
BOND Bahamas
Despite its ample size, the main residence comprises just two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a powder room. In the commodious living room, a floor-to-ceiling wall of sliding glass doors lets the ocean air sweep right in while providing direct access to a covered patio. There’s also a more intimate den, a spacious dining room alongside a serving kitchen, with a galley-style chef’s kitchen clad in warm paneling off to one side. For visiting friends and family, there’s a two-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage.
The grounds encompass broad decks that step down to palm-dotted lawns that roll down to the beach, sheltered terraces for escaping the sun, and a sunken pickleball court.
Bedrooms spill onto water-view decks.
BOND Bahamas
Before the Zehava mansion hit the market, the highest-priced offering in the Bahamas was a $40 million property in Old Fort Bay dubbed Aspara. The oceanfront pad, which sold in April for $39.49 million, came with its own dock, a boat lift, and a private beach.
“The real estate market in the Bahamas has evolved to rival the world’s most exclusive destinations, such as the Hamptons, Malibu, and Palm Beach,” added Marco, who also represented the Aspara deal. “The demand for luxury properties here has surged as more discerning buyers seek not only a smart investment but also a serene, breathtaking environment to call home. The Bahamas is now firmly on the map as one of the world’s premier luxury markets.”

Just as Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is getting cranked up on Bravo, complete with lots of drama right out of the gate, cast member Angie Katsanevas has decided to put her Utah home up for sale. The Greek reality show star and her husband Shawn Trujillo are asking $4.5 million for the modern residence, which is listed by Dorthy Androulidakis of Summit Sotheby’s International Realty.
The couple, who own several beauty salons across three states, acquired the modern spread in 2020 shortly after it was completed. Resting on a hillside parcel spanning over a third of an acre, within the affluent Upper Avenues neighborhood, the boxy all-white structure features four bedrooms and an equal number of baths in a little more than 6,300 square feet of three-level living space punctuated throughout with ash-toned hardwood floors, high ceilings, designer light fixtures, and walls of glass providing picturesque views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
One of two seating areas in the living room is dominated by a massive stone fireplace.
Summit Sotheby’s International Realty
Among the main-level highlights is a soaring open-concept great room, which is centered around a show kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry, a 16-foot island, Miele appliances, and a prep kitchen hidden away around the corner. An accompanying dining area has sliding glass doors spilling out onto a front-facing patio that has a covered entertaining alcove and an adjacent lounging spot warmed by a gas firepit. Back inside, the living room offers two seating areas centered around a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.
Upstairs, the primary suite comes with a separate fireside lounge area, two walk-in closets, and a marble-clad bath equipped with dual vanities, an ebony-hued soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower, while an entertainment-ready lower level is decked out with a screening/family room hosting a linear fireplace and a wet bar. Rounding it all out is a gated driveway leading to an attached three-car garage, plus a backyard barbecue station flanked by a grassy lawn.
An al fresco lounging and entertaining patio out front overlooks sweeping mountain vistas.

Katsanevas—who was introduced to RHOSLC in Season 3 and became an official snowflake holder in Season 4—founded Lunatic Fringe Salon with her longtime husband Trujillo in the late 1990s in Salt Lake City. The hairdressers currently have nine locations in Utah, Idaho, and Ohio.

If you want these kinds of digs, it’s Californication!
Anthony Kiedis, the frontman for the Los Angeles-based rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, snapped up a Tuscan-esque home in Beverly Hills way back in 2004, around the same time the group recorded their Grammy-winning album, Stadium Arcadium. The lead singer lived at the gated Davis Drive residence until 2007, when he sold it to screenwriter-director Akiva Goldsman, best known for scripting the four-time Oscar-winning 2001 biopic A Beautiful Mind starring Russell Crowe.
Property records show that Goldsman offloaded the three-and-a-half-acre compound in 2018 for $7.8 million to Seagram heir Eli Bronfman and his then wife Nicole Gertner. In 2022, after they split up, the vine-covered estate was transferred to Gertner, while Bronfman went on to drop $35 million in an off-market deal for a bachelor pad in New York City.

All that to say, Gertner is now parting ways with Kiedis’s former abode and has put the place up for sale. This time, the property is priced at a cool $11.25 million. Carl Gambino and Alyson Richards of Compass share the listing with Drew Fenton at Carolwood Real Estate.
Originally built in 1951, the 6,000-square-foot spread comprises five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. The lavish retreat is oozing with Old World charm and benefits from a bell tower that’s still intact. Accessed via a spiral staircase, the space not only serves as an interesting design element but is equipped to double as an office or a workout studio.

Internally, the residence channels a certain European je ne sais quoi with elegant paned windows, glassy French doors, exposed beam ceilings, and stately fireplaces. There are also tons of terracotta tile, natural stone, raw wood, and wrought-iron accents throughout. On the first floor, you’ll find a living area grand in proportions and an open-concept chef’s kitchen. The latter is kitted out with a walk-in pantry with lots of storage and a cozy breakfast nook.
Among the more opulent features is the primary suite, which occupies the second level. In true rockstar fashion, the room is complete with private balconies, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like ensuite bathroom. Outside, the grounds feel akin to a Zen-like sanctuary filled with lush greenery and a trellis-covered patio. An alfresco fireplace, swimming pool, and dining area are certainly perks.

Looking to join the emerging group of wealthy individuals who are foregoing the hassle of home ownership in favor of leasing? This place just might fit the bill!
After two years on the housing market and a couple of substantial price chops, Jeffrey “Jeff” Feinberg has decided to hoist the extravagant Brentwood mansion he won in a bidding war a little over three years ago up for rent, asking a pricey $250,000 per month. The listing is held by Dan Malka of Engel & Völkers.
The hedge fund executive paid $44 million—a million bucks above the property’s initial $43 million asking price—for the then-brand-new place back in June 2021, before he flipped it back up for sale a short year later with a $4 million jump in price. He subsequently relisted the property at the end of 2022 for a speck under $43 million and then reduced the ask to $38 million at the beginning of 2023, but there were still no takers.

Nestled amid a secluded cul-de-sac, on over an acre of land overlooking the Getty Museum, the modern structure known as The Oasis was built on spec by veteran developer Ramtin Ray Nosrati and features seven bedrooms and 11 baths sprawled across almost 17,000 square feet of three-story living space. Glitzy amenities range from a TV wall, a car gallery, and a sports simulator room to a 3-hole putting green and a Kobe Bryant-themed basketball court.
Main-level highlights include a soaring great room showcased by a striking floating staircase that’s topped by a custom icicle chandelier and flanked by a living moss wall that descends to a succulent garden on the lower level. A linear fireplace encased in a floor-to-ceiling stone wall serves as a focal point of the living room, and there’s also a full wet bar with a wine station, a dining room boasting a 1,000-gallon aquarium, and a gourmet kitchen outfitted with a separate catering kitchen and a walk-in freezer.

Rounding it all out are a trio of roof decks and a detached two-story guesthouse, plus state-of-the-art security in the form of a laser system and a 24-hour guard house.

A former managing director of the George Soros-founded hedge fund-turned-family office Soros Fund Management, Feinberg once had his own investment firm. The $1 billion JLF Investment Fund was shuttered some years ago and the veteran trader now operates Feinberg Investments, a limited partnership that invests his personal wealth.
The hedge funder is also known for his love of particularly flamboyant homes. Back in late 2019, Feinberg famously made waves by selling his $15 million Hidden Hills mansion to YouTube celebrity Jeffree Star, then followed that up with the 2021 sale of an oceanfront home in the beachside city of Santa Monica for $10.6 million. He also once owned a huge compound atop Malibu’s Point Dume, though that property was sold by his ex-wife Stacey Feinberg for $21.8 million.

When you run across a place that’s been graced through the years by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Jon Hamm, and Beyoncé, is touted in marketing materials as “one of the most filmed homes in America,” and has the added cache of having been fashioned by a noted architect, you have an inkling that it’s going to be a showstopper. And this sprawling midcentury residence in the suburban Los Angeles neighborhood of Chatsworth, on the western edge of the San Fernando Valley, is not one to disappoint.
To boot, after floating on and off the market for the past decade or so—once for as much as $21.5 million—the estate probably best known as Byrdview, as well as Farralone and Fox House, has just popped up for sale again with a substantially reduced $8 million ask.
“I’m excited that the new owner has embarked upon this very realistic sale for this incredible property,” says Craig Knizek, who shares the listing with Blair Chang, both of The Agency. “After a recent foreclosure, I’m encouraged that the new owner is providing very clear and dependable guidance to the market that this property now is truly for sale. I’ve been involved with this property for 13 years. I can finally and confidently say that this new owner recognizes that path to a successful sale.”

Originally built by noted modernist architect William Pereira in the early 1950s for New York banking heiress Dora Stillman and her actor husband Jody Hutchinson—who held legendary parties attended by Hollywood A-listers such as Garland, Angela Lansbury, Jane Wyman, Lucille Ball, and Ava Gardner, just to name a few—the dwelling was later rented out to Sinatra for nearly 10 years in the late ’50s and early ’60s.
In addition, those seeking an additional income stream might be interested to know that the house has long been a popular production site for movies and TV shows, including Swordfish, Six Feet Under, The Last Man on Earth, Dreamgirls, Californication, Mad Men, Aquarius, and Beef. Miley Cyrus also shot portions of the music video for the song Flowers there.

Resting at the end of an almost mile-long driveway, atop a secluded promontory spanning nearly 14 acres and overlooking virtually the entire San Fernando Valley, the walled and gated compound includes a 6,661-square-foot main home and a separate 1,120-square-foot guesthouse—for a total of seven bedrooms and eight baths in a little more than 8,100 square feet of meticulously restored living space.
Inside the four-bedroom, six-bath primary midcentury dwelling are a mix of poured concrete and hardwood floors, copious built-ins, several wood-burning fireplaces, and 16-foot walls of glass. Other highlights include a living area flaunting a cocktail bar with a 150-bottle wine refrigerator, a formal dining room topped by a swanky chandelier, and a kitchen sporting an eat-in island and stainless appliances. There’s also an entertaining room and a lavish primary suite boasting a fireside seating area, a bespoke closet, and a spacious bath equipped with dual vanities and a soaking tub.
