      Red Sox Legend David Ortiz’s Former Miami Mansion Lists for $11.5 Million

      by

      Major League Baseball great David Ortiz—better known as “Big Papi”—is back in Miami real estate headlines. The former first baseman’s former North Pinecrest estate, a modern showpiece packed with luxury perks, has just returned to the market with an $11.5 million price tag. The current listing is held by Dennis Carvajal with One Sotheby’s International Realty. 

      Ortiz, who retired from MLB in 2016 after a decorated career with the Boston Red Sox that included 10 All-Star appearances and three World Series titles, originally purchased the land in 2016 for $1.5 million and completed construction on the home in 2019. In early 2023, he listed the custom-built estate for $12.5 million, and by June of that year, it had sold for nearly $10.6 million—a record-breaking deal for Pinecrest, the Wall Street Journal reported at the time. The sale narrowly beat out the previous high of $10.5 million, set in 2022 when Miami Heat star Tyler Herro picked up a snazzy home in the same neighborhood.

      Tucked behind gates on more than an acre of landscaped grounds, the five-bedroom, eight-bathroom residence spans just over 10,000 square feet and is designed with both visual drama and plush comfort in mind. Fire and water features welcome you at the entrance, setting the tone for a home that blends high-impact design with laid-back vibes. 

      Floor-to-ceiling glass walls flood the interiors with great volumes of light and make for seamless connections to the tropically planted backyard. At the heart of the home is an Italian Officine Gullo kitchen with a walk-in pantry—equal parts gourmet and gallery-worthy. Upstairs, four bi-level bedrooms each have individual sitting areas. The primary suite offers a boutique-style closet, spa-like bath with a floating tub, and, at 16 feet long, a shower plenty big enough to easily accommodate a professional athlete.

      Ortiz made sure the home didn’t skimp on fun, either. There’s a high-tech home theater with recliners and a wet bar, plus a custom-built sports lounge complete with a wall of nine flat-screen TVs—perfect for catching every angle of the game. 

      Out back, the resort-style amenities continue with a pool, spa, summer kitchen, multiple covered terraces, a gazebo, and three fire pits. Located near top-rated schools and some of the city’s most prestigious addresses, the estate is a home run for anyone looking to live large in Miami.

      This 137-Acre SoCal Estate Has a Massive Car Museum. Now It Can Be Yours for $125 Million.

      by

      An extravagant estate long owned by the late Orange County Air Force major general turned homebuilder and civic leader William Lyon has roared onto the market in Southern California. The asking price? A jaw-dropping $125 million, though that amount might seem far less outrageous when you consider the property’s lavish features—a 24,000-square-foot car museum, a private gas station, and a helipad, just for starters.

      Should the place go for anywhere near that amount, it would set a record for the most expensive residential real estate transaction ever recorded in the area—eclipsing the $61 million sale of a Newport Coast mansion to LoanDepot founder Anthony Hsieh in 2020. Waiting in the wings, however, is the 42-acre Casa Grande estate in San Juan Capistrano that’s currently listed for $150 million.

      “Whoever gets the opportunity to own this piece of real estate history will be owning one of the most iconic properties in America, said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and founder of The Agency, who shares the listing with Josh Altman of Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

      The car museum is augmented with taxidermy specimens from a family game-hunting trip in Tanzania.

      The founder of William Lyon Homes—which was acquired in 2020 shortly before his death at age 97 by Taylor Morrison as part of a cash and stock deal valued at around $2.4 billion, including debt assumption—and his wife Willa Dean designed and built the spread in the 1980s. Sited in the affluent guard-gated community of Coto de Caza, where The Real Housewives reality TV franchise made its debut in 2006, the estate includes a Georgian-style main mansion and multiple other structures spread across 137 acres, replete with scenic views of the Saddleback Mountains.

      The hilltop compound is perhaps most famous for its car museum, a nearly 24,000-square-foot showstopper built to house Lyon’s epic personal collection, with room for 70 vehicles (none included with the sale, unfortunately), as well as an auto shop and wash and gas stations. Among the slew of other perks are a private helipad (sans the helicopter) and equestrian facilities encompassing a 10-stall barn and riding arena. Adding to the abode’s appeal is its list of distinguished visitors through the years, most notably President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan.

      A portrait of Major General William Lyon hangs over the fireplace in the wood-paneled library.

      Steps off a circular courtyard sweep up to the front entrance of the eight-bedroom, 11-bath primary dwelling, which was inspired by the family’s previous home near Mount Vernon in Virginia and offers 21,000 square feet across three levels. Standing out is an elegant fireside living room, as well as a chandelier-topped dining room lined with murals and an opulent primary bedroom adorned with a tracery ceiling. There’s also a brick-clad wine cellar and a handsome wood-paneled library warmed by a fireplace.

      Additional structures include three guesthouses—one with two bedrooms, a bath, and a full kitchen, and the other two each offering a single bedroom and kitchenette. The spectacular resort-inspired grounds are showcased by several patios ideal for grand-scale entertaining, a pool and spa, a sauna-equipped pool house, a championship lighted tennis court, a greenhouse, two irrigation lakes, a pond, and a 41-acre orange orchard with 4,500 trees planted more than 30 years ago.

      A resort-style pool offers up picturesque views of the Saddleback Mountains.

      A particularly enticing bonus: The sale comes with pre-approved plans for a 64-acre development of 25 homes in a new gated enclave at the southern end of the land.

      Per The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the listing, the family is selling because it’s “not the same place” since their parents passed away. The family has a lot of good memories at the property, the couple’s son Bill Lyon said, but after his mother’s death in 2024, they feel it is time to move on.

      Richard Simmons Called This $7 Million Hollywood Hills Estate Home for Decades

      by

      By the time he graduated from high school in the 1960s, Richard Simmons clocked in at nearly 270 pounds. A few years later, he received an anonymous note on the windshield of his car that read, “Dear Richard: Fat people die young. Please don’t die.” He tried everything from fad diets to laxatives to slim down. He even stopped consuming food altogether, dropping 215 pounds in about two months and winding up in the hospital before deciding to pursue a balanced lifestyle of moderate eating and exercise. The New Orleans native subsequently headed to the West Coast to share his inspiring journey as a self-proclaimed “former fatty” via classes and seminars at his Anatomy Asylum turned Slimmons studio/eatery in Beverly Hills, where his clients ranged from Barbra Streisand to Paul Newman.

      The frizzy-haired, Dolphin short- and sparkling tank top-wearing “Pied piper of pounds” went on to help millions of overweight men and women of all shapes and sizes lose more than 3 million pounds via his custom meal plans and fun and energetic workout routines. He created more than 65 aerobics videos that sold upward of 20 million copies—think Sweatin’ to the Oldies, Dance Your Pants Off, and Disco Sweat, just to name a few. His first book, Never-Say-Diet, hit The New York Times bestseller list; he also appeared on numerous TV and radio programs, including stints as himself on General Hospital and Arrested Development, and hosted his own nationally syndicated talk show.

      In the early ’80s, his success enabled him to purchase an impressive home above the Sunset Strip in the Hollywood Hills for a reported $670,000. He eventually withdrew to the Colonial abode around 2014 and was rarely seen in the public eye afterward, closing his studio in 2016 and keeping up with his fans and encouraging them to  “enjoy your life to the fullest” via Facebook. Now, after his death last July, just one day after his 76th birthday, his longtime refuge has popped up for sale at a speck under $7 million. John A. Lucy of Keller Williams Hollywood Hills holds the listing, which is being marketed as a “one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a landmark home or construct a new masterpiece.”

      Built way back in the ’30s and personalized by Simmons during his tenure, the cream and white premises are tucked away behind walls and a gated motor court amid a hillside spanning over half an acre. A stately columned portico entryway flows inside, where four bedrooms and five baths are spread across a little more than 4,100 square feet of living space on multiple levels.

      The four-room primary suite is highlighted by a cherub-lined bath and second-floor gym.

      Highlights include a living room anchored by a two-way fireplace that connects on the other side to a music room, as well as a formal dining room and an updated kitchen outfitted with Thermador appliances and a breakfast nook. A curving pink-carpeted staircase lined with painted cherubs leads upstairs, where the four-room, double-height primary suite is spotlighted by a fireside bedroom with a private balcony, a large dressing area, a bath sporting a spa tub and Juliette balcony, and a lofty gym that still retains its Keiser exercise equipment.

      Elsewhere is a secondary guest suite and a study, as well as a flexible lower-level space with its own entrance. The amenities continue among the garden-encased grounds, where an expansive veranda steps down to an eye-catching circular pool and pool house beyond. There’s also a detached two-car garage.

      NFL Star Joey Bosa Is Asking $4 Million for His L.A. Home

      by

      Last July, while he was still on the Los Angeles Chargers roster, Joey Bosa doled out $3.5 million for a home in the South Bay area of L.A. Now, after a trade that takes him to the AFC East Champion Buffalo Bills next season, the NFL defensive end has decided to hand over the keys to the residence with a nearly $500,000 jump in price, asking a dash under $4 million. Stephanie Younger and Chloe Nash of the Stephanie Younger Group at Compass hold the listing.

      Resting amid a corner parcel spanning nearly a quarter of an acre in the Westport Heights neighborhood of Westchester near SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, where the Chargers and Rams both compete, the two-tone stucco and wood-sided structure was built in 2023. Inside, five bedrooms and an equal number of baths are spread across a little more than 4,400 square feet of three-level living space boasting wide-plank hardwood floors throughout.

      The fireside great room has a wall of sliding glass doors spilling out to the backyard.

      A walkway passes over a reflecting pool before emptying out at a large custom metal front door that pivots into an entry foyer with a curving glass-lined staircase and a seating area. The main level is highlighted by a fireside living room that connects to an eat-in kitchen sporting ebony-hued cabinetry and Miele appliances, with the entire space opening to the outside on both sides via sliding glass doors. An en suite bedroom tucked off in a corner by itself is currently arranged as a dining room.

      Holding court on the upper level are an adjoining office and seating area, a laundry room, and two more en suite bedrooms, as well as a primary suite hosting a fireplace, a balcony, a walk-in closet, and a bath equipped with dual vanities, a spa tub, and a glass-encased shower. A cascading water feature introduces the lower entertainment level, which offers a full bath, a wine and wet bar, and a “cinema zone.” A gym Bosa trained in has professional-grade equipment that comes with the sale of the property.

      All the gear in Bosa’s state-of-the-art gym is included in the sale of the house.

      Bosa, the son of former NFL player John Bosa and older brother of Nick Bosa, who is currently a defensive end for the San Francisco 49ers, agreed to a one-year, $12.61 million contract with the Bills in March. The 29-year-old Florida native, who was originally drafted third overall by the Chargers in the 2016 NFL draft, was the last remaining player on the lineup from when the team played in San Diego.

      An Oscar-Winning Film Producer Has Sold His Glitzy Miami Beach Penthouse for $4 Million

      by

      Timothy Headington—the Dallas-based billionaire oilman, luxury hotelier, and Oscar-winning film producer—has officially parted ways with his longtime Miami Beach penthouse, closing a $4 million deal earlier this week. Listing agent Eloy Carmenate of The Corcoran Group, along with colleague Mick Duchon, represented Headington in the sale. Zachary Aker of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty represented the buyer, whose identity has not been disclosed. 

      Tucked atop the boutique Capri South Beach building, Penthouse 1 offers cinematic views worthy of its former owner: 360 degrees of Biscayne Bay, the glittering Miami skyline, and golden Florida sunsets. Headington, who has credits on The Young Victoria, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and In the Land of Blood and Honey, originally snapped up the 1,974-square-foot residence in 2009 for just under $2.4 million, property records show.

      Since then, he’s quietly elevated the space with the help of Miami designer Sofia Joelsson, whose vision for the home channels coastal minimalism with a refined edge. Think vein-cut travertine floors, a sleek Ornare kitchen outfitted with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a bright, open-concept plan that invites the outdoors in. 

      Of course, the true showstopper lies upstairs: a 3,185-square-foot private rooftop terrace, complete with a summer kitchen, Jacuzzi, and expansive lounge areas made for sun-drenched afternoons or soirées under the stars. The sale also included a private slip—big enough for a 60-foot boat—making this a dream setup for anyone who prefers arriving home by water.

      Headington had originally listed the penthouse in December 2023 for $6.5 million but ultimately accepted the $4 million offer, reportedly because he’s spending less time in Miami these days. The property’s appeal is timeless, though: a quiet waterfront address just minutes from Lincoln Road, the Design District, and the sand and surf that make South Beach iconic. 

      Turns out, Headington isn’t the only ultra-wealthy seller eyeing an exit from South Beach. Back in March, fintech mogul Bill Roy, founder and CEO of mortgage tech firm BlockGen, listed his turnkey condo at the Continuum for $25.9 million. Roy, who paid $12.1 million for the combined two-unit residence in 2021, fully renovated the 28th-floor spread, which spans nearly 4,800 square feet and comes furnished by B&B Italia and Minotti. With sweeping ocean-to-skyline views, a chef’s kitchen clad in Viola marble, and a rotunda balcony made for sunset cocktails, Roy’s listing adds another marquee name—and a serious asking price—to Miami Beach’s ultra-luxury market.

      Charlie Chaplin Once Parked His Fire Trucks Where This $12.5 Million L.A. Home Now Stands

      by

      On its face, it may not seem like Charlie Chaplin and Sam Francis have much in common. The former was one of the most iconic comedians and filmmakers of our time, and the latter was a world-renowned abstract expressionist huge in Southern California’s art scene, yet both men have ties to one address in Santa Monica.

      Mere blocks from the beach, the property was once owned by Chaplin, who used it as a garage for his fire-truck collection. Francis came along later, turning it into his home and studio, where he hosted other notable L.A. artists like Ed Ruscha, Ken Price, Larry Bell, and Ed Moses. A 2006 fire destroyed much of Francis’s former creative compound, but a new owner constructed a fresh, modern abode with the help of the Malibu-based architect Christopher Sorensen. That residence is now on the market for $12.5 million, listed by Frank Langen and Lili Geller at Compass.

      Hand-carved Indonesian stone tubs are found in the bathrooms.

      Anthony Barcelo

      While the home itself is relatively new, the design brought in tons of elements that connect it to days of yore—far before Chaplin and Francis came into the picture. The entrance gate has been repurposed from 500-year-old monastery doors, while the teak floors date back 300 years. There’s certainly a contemporary-meets-Zen aesthetic on display here, and the property’s water features play into that as well: The rectangular pool actually flows into the kitchen, with a floor-to-ceiling pane of bulletproof glass serving as the dividing line between indoors and out.

      Despite some of these more eclectic features, the home still feels distinctly comfortable and relaxed. Soaring ceilings top the main entertaining spaces, and every area opens right up to the yard. The impressive primary suite has its own kitchenette just steps from the bed, and the closet is a full-size room with glass-fronted cabinets so you can easily peek in on all your sartorial fancies. Hand-carved Indonesian stone tubs are featured in the bathrooms, with five bedrooms and seven baths in total.

      The primary suite’s massive walk-in closet and dressing room.

      In the yard, which is more of a central courtyard than a backyard, the pool and spa are accompanied by a built-in grill and a seating area centered around a fire pit. Sculptural landscaping comes courtesy of Johnston Vidal Projects. Built to LEED principles, the home also includes solar-powered backup systems that could supply several weeks of off-grid power.

      Vanessa Hudgens’s Former L.A. Home Just Hit the Market for $4.4 Million

      by

      Six years ago, Vanessa Hudgens sold a custom-built home in Los Angeles for nearly $3.2 million after just two months on the market, albeit for 20 percent less than her original $3.9 million asking price. Now the actress, singer, and entrepreneur’s former pad in the San Fernando Valley community of Studio City has returned to the market, this time for a speck under $4.4 million. Michael J. Okun in the Sherman Oaks office of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.

      The High School Musical alum acquired the Mediterranean-inspired spread in 2008 shortly after it was built for $2.75 million when she was only 19 years old and lived there until 2019. Sited on a hillside parcel in the Wrightwood Estates neighborhood, the multi-level white stucco and terracotta-roof dwelling sits atop a street-level three-car garage and features five bedrooms and seven baths in roughly 5,300 square feet laced with Moorish and Moroccan touches.

      The fireside sitting room has French doors spilling out to the backyard.

      Revepix for Sotheby’s International Realty

      A curving set of steps leads up to the carved wood front door, which opens into a double-height foyer displaying a striking curving staircase. From there, a formal sitting room has French doors spilling out to the backyard and a two-way fireplace that connects on the other side to a formal dining room boasting a gold-leaf ceiling and a horseshoe-shaped doorway accented with wrought iron grillwork. An adjacent kitchen is outfitted with sage-hued cabinetry, granite countertops, high-end appliances, and a window-lined breakfast nook.

      Other main-level highlights include a fireside family room with built-in cabinetry and a tiered movie theater. The upper level holds a primary suite sporting a mosaic-tiled two-way fireplace, a private balcony, an office space, and an inviting bath equipped with a spa tub and steam shower. Outdoors, the resort-like grounds span over a third of an acre and host a freeform pool with a spillover spa and waterfall, plus a terrace that’s ideal for alfresco entertaining with a barbecue station.
