    Lakers Star Dennis Schröder Snags a Mansion in the LA Suburbs for $4.3 Million

    Last November, German basketball superstar Dennis Schröder was traded to the Lakers following stints with the Atlanta Hawks and Oklahoma Thunder. Records reveal the 27-year-old Braunschweig native — who is currently eyeing a potential contract extension worth tens of millions — and his wife Ellen Ziolo have now put down some SoCal real estate roots in the form of a $4.3 million San Fernando Valley mansion purchase.

    The sexed-up contemporary estate lies in Tarzana, set on a long and narrow lot behind forbidding black walls and gates. Built in 2017, the house offers a mostly wall-free floorplan with the dining, living, and family rooms merged into one open space. There’s a double-sided black marble fireplace, while the chef’s kitchen is “spectacular,” proclaims the listing, with an enormous SubZero fridge, custom cabinetry, and imported stonework. Two sets of Fleetwood doors open to a outdoor loggia with its own fireplace and full kitchen/BBQ.

    Dennis Schröder’s new Tarzana mansion 

    Six ensuite bedrooms are arranged throughout the main house, including an upstairs master retreat with dual private balconies, dual dressing rooms, and a resort-style bathroom decked out in exotic wood and stone. Other impressive home amenities include a home theater that seats 10 moviegoers, an office space, and a glass-walled wine cellar tucked underneath the curvaceous main staircase. Perhaps the most unusual features is a vast rooftop deck with its own BBQ, spotlights, and over-the-treetops views of the pancake-flat San Fernando Valley.
    But the main house is only the very first act of this real estate show; the .35-acre property is fully improved with a giant L-shaped lawn that passes by a large swimming pool/spa combo. Beyond that lies a two-story guesthouse with another ensuite bedroom and a second kitchen, plus room for a gym. Best of all, however — at least from Shröder’s perspective — is the concrete basketball court that lies at the far rear of the property, offering a secluded space to hone his professional game.
    Kobi Costa of Compass held the listing; Michael Henderson, also of Compass, repped Schröder.

    Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, Once Priced at $100 Million, Finally Sells for $22 Million

    After years of never landing a buyer, Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch has finally sold.
    The infamous estate, which is located roughly 40 miles from Santa Barbara, was snapped up by American billionaire Ron Burkle for the relatively modest sum of $22 million, according to the Wall Street Journal. The property has been on and off the market since it was first listed five years ago and has experienced several price cuts on the way to this sale.

    Jackson originally purchased the Los Olivos estate in 1987 and paid approximately $19.5 million. He then set about turning it into a whimsical wonderland, which went on to become nearly as famous as the King of Pop himself. Following the sexual abuse allegations against Jackson and his subsequent death in 2009, the property was renamed Sycamore Valley Ranch by its co-owners, Jackson’s estate and real estate investment trust Colony Capital, and listed for $100 million in 2015.

    The property failed to sell and was listed for the heavily discounted price of $31 million in February 2019. That same month HBO premiered the documentary Finding Neverland in which two men claim Jackson molested them at the Neverland Ranch when they were children. Now, Burkle, a former acquaintance of the singer and co-founder of the investment firm Yucaipa Companies, has nabbed the property at a significant discount, according to public records and people familiar with the deal.
    A spokesperson for Burkle told the WSJ that the purchase was an “opportunity” for the entrepreneur to add to his growing California property portfolio. The 68-year-old also helms Soho House and is reportedly on the hunt for new locations for exclusive clubhouses and retreats. It’s unclear whether the ranch was acquired for that purpose, though it certainly features all the requisite luxury amenities.
    Spanning roughly 2,700 acres, Sycamore Valley Ranch is crowned by an expensive 12,000-square-foot mansion and features about 22 accompanying structures, including several guesthouses. It also features a 50-seat movie theater, a 3,700 square-foot pool house and swimming pool, a basketball court, a tennis court, a “Disney-style” train station and even a zoo.
