    Sylvester Stallone’s Sprawling Beverly Hills Estate Hits the Market for $130 Million

    Platinum Triangle mega-agent Ben Bacal, founder of Revel Real Estate and creator of the Rila real estate app, has not-so-quietly announced, and in the most modern of ways, via Instagram, that Sylvester Stallone seeks a staggering $130 million for his longtime mansion in the famously steroidal Beverly Park enclave in the mansion strewn mountains above Beverly Hills.
    The thrice Oscar nominated and still remarkably pumped “Rocky” and “Creed” star, now in his mid-70s, purchased the slightly shy of 3.50-acre spread in the late 1990s for an unrecorded amount and soon custom built a stately pan-Mediterranean mansion that measures in around 21,000 square feet and carries a horse-choking annual tax bill in excess of $125,000.
    The 8-bedroom and 12-bath manse includes a voluminous library/office under a barrel-vaulted ceiling where miles of lighted shelves showcase an almost strangely vast trove of “Rocky” memorabilia. There’s even a life-size statue of Stallone as Rocky with his be-gloved hands raised in victory standing in front of an arched window that looks out on the estate’s vast motor court. The kitchen appears newly updated with not just one but two islands, the dining room’s walls are hand-painted in a manner that evokes an Old World castle, and a roomy den with wet bar let’s the outdoors in thanks to a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows.
    Set down a long gated drive on a private promontory next door to the longtime mansion of late media tycoon Sumner Redstone, the plush estate’s main residence is complemented by a detached two-story guesthouse and an extensive service wing. Deep loggias and second floor terraces offer spectacular canyon and city lights views, the tree-dotted expanse of flat lawn incorporates a putting green and pale stone terraces provide ample room for alfresco entertaining and sunbathing around the crystalline swimming pool and spa.

    Given that the highest price ever paid for a home in Beverly Park is $40 million, Stallone’s asking price seems exceedingly aggressive. Still, as gutsy as the by-any-standard astronomical $130 million asking price may be, it is not, by far, the most expensive property currently available in Beverly Park. That dizzying crown goes to Villa Firenze, aviation leasing billionaire Steven Udvar-Hazy’s palatial estate of nearly 30,000 square feet that is saddled with a $160 million price tag after it was first set out for sale in 2018 at $165 million.
    Along with an assortment of international business tycoons, fortunately born heirs to vast family fortunes and even a Saudi royal or two, some of the many high-profile residents of Beverly Park include Denzel Washington, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin, Paul Reiser, Eddie Murphy, Rod Stewart, Magic Johnson and Mark Wahlberg. Former residents include Reba McEntire, a couple of Real Housewives and fashion model turned fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons who quietly sold her big spread late last year for $15.7 million, a big number by most standards but more than $9 million less than the $25 million she and her legally and financially beleaguered former Goldman Sachs banker husband Tim Leissner paid for the place about 3.5 years earlier.
    It’s not too much of a surprise that Stallone and wife Jennifer Flavin are looking to cash in on the sale of their West Coast residence as late last year they plunked down $35.4 million for a Bermuda-style waterfront estate in Palm Beach, Florida. With about 1.5 acres of lushly landscaped grounds, the estate offers seven bedrooms and a dozen bathrooms across its main house and two guesthouses. See more photos of the home below:

    Home of the Week: Star Athletes Caroline Wozniacki and Dave Lee List Their Island Condo in Miami for $17.5 Million

    Downsizing is typically what happens when the kids leave home, Medicare kicks in and the yard work becomes too much.
    But for tennis great Caroline Wozniacki, 30, and her former NBA All-Star husband David Lee, 37, the decision to list their spectacular five-bed condo on Miami’s super-exclusive Fisher Island, is all about size. Seems 8,430-square-feet is just too much space.

    “They are staying on Fisher. They just didn’t need as big of a unit,” says Jill Hertzberg, broker and cofounder of the Jills Zeder Group at Coldwell Banker Realty, which holds the listing.

    Of course, for the newly-retired couple—Wozniacki called it quits last year and Lee in 2017—it might also have something to do with the $208,077 in annual property taxes and the $10,254 monthly association dues. Living on the ultra-private enclave of Fisher Island is far from cheap.
    Not that its roughly 800 residents likely worry too much. The island, reached only by private ferry, has the distinction of being one of the wealthiest zip codes in the US.

    Here home owners include a host of celebs, captains of industry and investors. Canadian billionaire and Aston Martin chairman Lawrence Stroll just last month sold a four-bed condo, formerly owned by Oprah, for $20 million.
    If the couple sells the sprawling eighth-floor pad for close to the $17.5 million asking, it should result in a tidy profit. According to records, they bought the place in 2018 for $13.5 million.

    The home itself is part of the 10-story, Palazzo Del Sol building, which was completed in 2016. The 46-unit tower claims “six-star” concierge service with such luxuries as a butler-staffed aperitivo bar and lounge, hair and makeup salon, massage room and world-class gym.
    In addition to the condo’s 8,400-square-feet of living space, it has 2,500 square feet of covered terraces providing no fewer than six outdoor living areas.

    The balconies provide jaw-dropping views of Biscayne Bay, the Miami Beach Marina, the main cruise-ship alley that’s Government Cut, and the crashing Atlantic.
    A private elevator whisks you to the home’s grand entrance and into its open-plan layout. Ten-foot-high, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with light. The vast west-facing living room offers views of the sunset and twinkling downtown Miami skyline.

    The room flows into the home’s sleek, gourmet kitchen with its Gaggenau and Sub-Zero appliances and large marble-topped island. Steps away is a formal dining room, media room and rec room with pool table and bar.
    In total, there are five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms. Without doubt, the highlight of the spacious primary suite is its huge dual walk-in closets.

    Listing photos show Wozniacki’s impressive shoe, handbag and designer sunglasses collection, along with Lee’s extensive display of trainers. We stopped counting at 60 pairs.
    Additional owners’ suite features include Statuaria book-matched marble and Starphire glass in the bathrooms, Apure lighting by Porsche Design, along with premium Dornbracht and Duravit fixtures.
    And, if you like the look of all the furniture and furnishings, you’re in luck: They’re included in the asking price.

    As for the 216-acre Fisher Island itself—reached only by private ferry, boat or helicopter—there’s no shortage of five-star amenities. They include a beach club, spa, gourmet market, fine restaurants, two deep-water marinas and even a private school that offers Mandarin classes.
    It also features a nine-hole golf course, as well as the Fisher Island Racquet Club with its 17 tennis courts, one of which is named after Wozniacki, who still plays there.

    Before retiring in January 2020, the Danish tennis pro is credited with winning a total of 30 Women’s Tennis Association singles titles, a Grand Slam in 2018, and holding top ranking for a combined total of 71 weeks. She’s ranked fifth in all-time prize earnings of more than $35 million during her 15-year career.
    Husband David Lee is a two-time NBA basketball All-Star who played for the New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors.
    As for the couple’s next Fisher Island home, they have their choice—right now there are no fewer than 89 listed on Zillow. They range in price from $750,000 for a teeny 890-square-footer to $29.5 million for a whopping 10,000-square-foot rooftop penthouse.
