    The Pharma Exec Behind Mounjaro Lists His 117-Acre Wyoming Ranch for $40 Million

    A sprawling Wyoming ranch long owned by retired Eli Lilly Research Labs president Dr. Jan Lundberg has just hit the market. Perched on a ridgeline above the picturesque Jackson Hole Valley surrounded by the Teton Range, about 15 minutes from downtown Jackson, the 117-acre spread is for sale at a dash under $40 million. Latham Jenkins of Live Water Properties holds the listing.

    Records show that the current pharmaceutical consultant—a key figure behind the development of the diabetes-turned-weight-loss drug Mounjaro—and his longtime wife Anna acquired the property in 2021. Set within the exclusive 500-acre Riva Ridge community and described as a “once-in-a-generation holding,” the compound was originally built in 2009.

    Five en suite bedrooms and nine baths can be found in the hand-hewn log and stone-accented main lodge, which has a little more than 12,700 square feet across three levels. In addition to a soaring window-lined great room topped by a rustic antler chandelier and warmed by a massive fireplace encased in boulders, other highlights include a two-story library and a formal dining room that flows to a gourmet kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry, dual islands, Wolf appliances, and a fireside breakfast banquette.

    Elsewhere is a primary suite featuring a private deck and an inviting bath spotlighted by a sculpted marble soaking tub, plus an 1,800-bottle wine cellar with a tasting room, a tiered movie theater, a bar-equipped game room, and a gym with a sauna and steam room. A heated indoor pool and spa has accordion-style glass doors opening out to a patio overlooking one of three ponds.

    Also on the completely off-grid estate is an underground tunnel that leads from the main house to a one-bedroom, one-bath guest suite atop a three-car garage that’s also outfitted with a greenhouse and a 45-kilowatt generator. There’s also a detached four-bedroom, four-bath guesthouse. And with nearly 70 percent of the overall acreage under a conservation easement that prevents development, the property also ensures wide-open views paired with plenty of elk, deer, moose, and raptor sightings.

    Since retiring from Eli Lilly in 2018, the biopharmaceutical veteran has been using expertise to drive drug discovery and development at biotech firms, pharmaceutical companies, and academic institutions. In addition to their Wyoming estate, the couple also owns a waterfront home in Florida that serves as their primary residence.

    Artist Ed Ruscha’s Onetime L.A. Compound Just Listed for $4.6 Million

    Back in 1987, iconic anti-pop artist Edward “Ed” Ruscha doled out $2.6 million for a ranch house in the Mandeville Canyon area of Brentwood. He and his wife, Danica, went on to acquire the home next door when it came up for sale—to avoid having it torn down and replaced with what Ruscha called a “three-story Swiss Tudor Pop Gothic”—and then engaged architectural designer Morgan Livingston to help combine the two existing 1950s structures into a seamless live/work compound that was later featured in the pages of Architectural Digest.

    The couple eventually sold the entire spread in the early 2000s for $1.95 million to a creative couple, who in turn transferred the place in 2011 for $2.5 million to Little Minx founder and president Rhea Scott, a film and commercial producer most known for her work on music videos for everyone from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Madonna. Now, 14 years later, the artistic property has returned to the market, this time at a speck under $4.7 million. Frank Langen of Compass holds the listing.

    A vaulted fireside great room with plenty of natural light is the perfect spot for displaying art.

    Set behind gates on a corner parcel spanning almost two acres and faced with energetic murals, the residence features a total of four bedrooms and six baths sprawled across 6,350 square feet of single-level living space connected by a central great room boasting a 14-foot-tall beamed ceiling, oversized windows, and a fireplace.

    An eye-catching Dutch door swings open into an entry foyer, which flows to a bookshelf-lined library, a glass-encased dining room, and a large kitchen sporting zigzag-patterns painted on pale hardwood floors, an eat-in island, top-tier stainless appliances, and a fireside sitting area alongside a breakfast nook. A vaulted, pink-hued primary suite donning the same floors found in the kitchen has French doors spilling out to a patio.

    In addition to a meditation studio and a one-bedroom guesthouse, the palm tree-dotted grounds also host numerous spots ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining, plus a kidney-shaped pool with a diving board, a fire pit, a treehouse, and a cactus garden.

    Ruscha, a Nebraska native whose pieces have brought in prices upwards of $30 million, currently maintains a substantial Southern California real estate portfolio that includes two homes in the Trousdale Estates neighborhood of Beverly Hills, as well as a house in Malibu’s Point Dume neighborhood, a gigantic studio complex in Culver City, and several hundred acres of vacant land in the Mojave Desert, near Joshua Tree.

    As for Scott, who happens to be the daughter of legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott, she’s also simultaneously selling a restored 1920s Spanish retreat in West Hollywood listed for $2 million.

    A 1930s L.A. Home Steeped in Hollywood History Just Listed for $2.2 Million

    If the walls of this charming 1930s home in the Laurel Canyon enclave of Hollywood Hills could talk, they would probably regale listeners with tales of how the late Oscar-nominated costume designer Theodora Van Runkle lived there while working on wardrobes for films like Bonnie and Clyde, The Godfather II, and Peggy Sue Got Married—in a studio she reportedly created out of an enormous wine vat culled from the set of Wuthering Heights, no less.

    Or maybe they would speak of the residence’s setting as a creative haven for music legends like Joni Mitchell, Frank Zappa, John Lennon, and Jim Morrison. In fact, the latter’s Doors bandmates, Robby Krieger and John Densmore, bunked together at a house right down the street. It’s there that the charismatic lead singer was said to crash on occasion, once taking a walk around the surrounding neighborhood and returning with the lyrics for the Billboard chart-topper “People Are Strange.”

    But that’s not all. At one point, Van Runkle shared the home with her ex-husband, actor and photographer Bruce McBroom, who took the iconic shot for Farrah Fawcett’s 1976 red swimsuit poster that’s now on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.

    The living room is topped with a crystal chandelier hanging from a whitewashed pressed-tin ceiling.

    The commercial illustrator-turned-costume designer died from lung cancer in 2011 at age 83, and the three-bedroom, three-bath home was last sold in late 2015 for $1.7 million. Now, a decade later, this footnote of Hollywood history—and all its intriguing anecdotes—is up for grabs at the tidy sum of $2.25 million. The pad has been dubbed Pebble Court as a nod to outdoor spaces that the also-prolific painter covered in small pebbles. Those areas have since been upgraded with new decking to accommodate events, but some of those small stones have been scattered on pathways as an ode to the onetime owner.

    “Every inch of this home is steeped in artistry, legacy, and vision,” said Madeline Goldberg of Compass, who holds the listing. “It is a true piece of art and still carries the creative energy of Laurel Canyon circa 1967.”

    The kitchen comes with an antique O’Keefe & Merritt range and a window-lined breakfast nook.

    Tucked away on nearly half an acre at the end of a lengthy gated driveway, the bohemian-chic oasis offers roughly 1,300 square feet of pristine white living space teeming with a mix of hardwood and penny tile floors, wood-paneled walls, casement windows, and soaring pressed-tin ceilings dotted with skylights.

    Among the highlights is a spacious fireside living room that opens to the outside via French doors, plus a sun-drenched kitchen sporting an antique O’Keefe & Merritt range and a cozy breakfast nook. The primary bedroom comes with a fireplace and an en suite bath flaunting a built-in oval soaking tub topped with a duo of stained-glass windows. Adjacent to the primary is a sitting area, which has a fireplace and a spiral staircase leading up to a loft.

    The garden-laced grounds feature a large decked gathering space with a new outdoor kitchen and a flagstone patio that’s ideal for alfresco dining. More reasons to fall in love: a separate one-bedroom, one-bath casita with its own fireplace, kitchen, and living area.

    Rob Zombie Just Sold His Two-House L.A. Compound for Nearly $9 Million

    Three months after they hit the market, a pair of 1950s properties making up Rob Zombie’s longtime compound in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Hollywood Hills have officially sold.

    Records show the neighboring Robert “Bouler” Thorgusen-designed residences tucked away behind a shared gated driveway off Hollywood Hills Road went to two separate unnamed buyers who inked both deals for a total of $8.9 million, just $100,000 less than the combined asking price of $9 million.

    Also listed individually by Rick Tyberg, Lauren Duffy, and Abigail Gutwein of Douglas Elliman, the bigger three-bedroom, three-bath spread transferred for $5.5 million, a tad under the $5.6 million ask, while the smaller two-bedroom, two-bath place next door brought in its full price of $3.4 million.

    Set on dual parcels that together span just over seven acres, the midcentury charcoal-hued dwellings were acquired by Zombie and his actress wife Sheri Moon Zombie almost a decade ago in separate transactions for a collective $7 million, with the couple snagging a nifty $2 million profit on the sale.

    9031 Hollywood Hills Road is spotlighted by a pool that flows beneath the house.

    The larger of the two homes (above) was constructed in the late 1950s and has 4,100 square feet of split-level living space dotted with numerous skylights. A smattering of light boxes filtered throughout are designed to “enhance mood, depth, and ambience,” per marketing materials.

    A pool passes beneath the post-and-beam pad, while customized lounging and entertaining areas join a fireside primary suite flaunting a private terrace and a bath equipped with an integrated soaking tub and a glass-encased shower. Also on the premises is a flex space that could easily be converted into a studio, an office, or a gallery, along with an alfresco dining area, a fire pit, a cascading waterfall, and a two-vehicle carport.

    9029 Hollywood Hills Road features spiked fencing, a pie-pan carport, and a dramatic folding roofline.

Fronted by artistic spiked fencing and a pie-pan carport, the folded-roof structure is highlighted by a soaring living room boasting the original raised-hearth fireplace, plus a dining area and an eat-in kitchen sporting top-notch Miele and Gaggenau appliances.

    A fireside primary suite features clerestory windows and a bath equipped with a freestanding soaking tub and a walk-in shower, while an adjoining bedroom opens to a garden. The rest of the forested grounds, originally designed by noted landscape architect Garrett Eckbo, host a lap pool and raised spa flanked by a wood sundeck.

    Roseanne Barr Is Selling Her 46-Acre Hawaii Ranch for $2 Million

    Roseanne Barr is ready to part ways with a piece of her post-sitcom chapter. The 72-year-old comedian and actress is putting her 46-acre macadamia nut farm in Honokaa, Hawaii—best known as the backdrop of her 2011 Lifetime reality series Roseanne’s Nuts—on the market for $1.95 million.

    Set along the Big Island’s verdant Hamakua Coast, the estate reflects both Barr’s personal reinvention and her deep connection to Hawaii, where she relocated in 2007. The farm became a stage for her exploration of self-sufficiency and organic farming, far from the spotlight that first made her a household name.

    Barr’s 46-acre macadamia nut farm in Honokaa, Hawaii, appeared on her reality show Roseanne’s Nuts.

    Hawaii Realty Solutions

    Barr’s trajectory in Hollywood has been anything but ordinary. She broke out in 1985 with a stand-up set on The Tonight Show and rose to fame as the matriarch of the Conner family on ABC’s Roseanne, a role that earned her an Emmy Award in 1993. After The Roseanne Show, a two-season talk series, she dabbled in reality television with Roseanne’s Nuts. Her eponymous sitcom was briefly rebooted before Barr’s departure; the network retooled the show as The Conners.

    For Barr, the Hawaii farm was a grounding counterpoint to Hollywood’s turbulence. “I had always traveled yearly with my family to Hawaii—it was an essential summer getaway,” Barr tells Robb Report. “As my son grew older, we found that HPA (Hawaiʻi Preparatory Academy) was offering him a much better education than he was getting on the mainland. We decided to move here, and when I purchased the property in Honokaa, we also wanted to build a sustainable home and help feed struggling families in Hawaii.”

    A spacious lanai offers panoramic views of the ocean and the orchard.

    Hawaii Realty Solutions

    The farm is as abundant as it is picturesque. More than 4,000 macadamia trees spread across rolling acreage, complemented by avocados, finger limes, apple bananas, and tangerines. At the center sits a 2,716-square-foot residence with four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. A broad lanai frames sweeping ocean and orchard views, while the grounds feature a pool with a waterslide, a pool house, an art studio, a greenhouse, a bamboo outdoor shower and soaking tub, and a garage/workshop.

    The property gained pop-culture visibility when Roseanne’s Nuts premiered in 2011, following Barr, her partner Johnny Argent, and son Jake Pentland as they tried their hands at farming. The 16-episode series captured Barr’s famously irreverent approach to life. It also featured celebrity cameos from Phyllis Diller and Sandra Bernhard.

    The main house has four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms.

    Hawaii Realty Solutions

    “Aside from growing food to feed people, I really loved sharing my family with the world through the show,” Barr recalls. “It was special to work with my real-life family—before that, I had actors playing them, so it was a refreshing change of pace. My favorite memory—and from what I hear, a favorite for many others—was tearing through the landscape on my tractor. I felt so wild and free! The land, the farming, and the spirit of Hawaii are truly good for the soul.”

    Listing agent Paul Stukin of Deep Blue HI says the offering is as much about cultural legacy as it is about land. “I’ve represented many iconic properties, but this one stands apart,” he says. “With macadamia sustaining Hawai‘i’s economy, the farm shows how land and community thrive together.”

    The grounds include a pool with a waterslide, an art studio, and a greenhouse.

    Hawaii Realty Solutions

    After nearly two decades of stewardship, Barr is ready to hand it over. “Hawaii will always hold a special place in my heart, but I’m getting too old to do as much as I used to,” she says. “I would love to see someone else take over and continue to share the spirit of Ohana.”

    That transition underscores a broader shift in her life. “I’m inspired to sell because, frankly, I’m just too damn old to keep doing this,” she admits. “The land deserves someone with the spirit and energy to care for it the way it should be. I still own a smaller property in Waimea and now live in Texas, where I’m involved in many exciting projects. I simply don’t have the time to give this place the love and attention it truly deserves.”

    Sharon Stone’s House From ‘Basic Instinct’ Is Part of This Epic $91 Million Coastal California Compound

    It’s been a little more than three decades since Basic Instinct first hit the big screen, but folks are still talking about the erotic thriller that thrust Sharon Stone into the limelight—primarily because of the infamous scene where her character Catherine Tramell goes au naturel during a police interrogation.

    More recently making its own headlines is the Carmel Highlands abode Tramell called home in the much-ballyhooed film. Part of an expansive complex of oceanfront residences along a craggy, cypress-lined cliff and known collectively as Seacliff, the 5.4-acre spread was acquired by software entrepreneur Gary Vickers in 2018 for $14.4 million and popped up for sale a year later with a $52.4 million price tag.

    Subsequently removed from the market and extensively reconstructed and expanded to the tune of millions in the interim, it’s now returned to the market with Tim Allen Properties of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, this time asking an eye-popping $91.4 million.

    Picture windows frame cinematic coastline vistas from the fireside living room.

    The Spindrift Road property was previously owned by Steve Fossett and his wife, Peggy, who acquired it in 1996. The renowned financier and aviator perished in a plane crash in 2007, and Peggy held onto the home until her death in 2017, at which time it was sold to Vickers and his wife, Kerry. In addition to appearing in Basic Instinct back in 1992, the scenic estate also made a cameo in the more recent HBO series Big Little Lies.

    Spanning five contiguous parcels, the property is anchored by the Lodge—the Basic Instinct house—which has eight bedrooms and nine baths in roughly 12,400 square feet across three levels warmed by 11 fireplaces. Ancillary structures include four smaller cottages, plus a new one-bedroom residence.

    The kitchen in the main house, known as the Lodge, comes with a brick pizza oven and wine refrigeration for up to 1,250 bottles.

    Gary R. Vickers/Manager of Highlands Big Sur Gateway LLC

    The Lodge is highlighted by a two-story Art Deco library boasting built-in oak bookshelves, a custom wrought-iron spiral staircase, and a silver- and gold-leaf domed ceiling depicting a mural of Johannes Kepler’s laws of planetary motion. Other features include a main-level bedroom adorned with early Northern California oil paintings and large-scale photographs of nearby Point Lobos, as well as a fireside formal dining room that seats 10, three kitchens, and two primary suites.

    A central courtyard dons a waterfall pool and a hot tub alongside fitness and wellness facilities equipped with top-notch gym equipment, an aromatic steam room, a dry sauna, and three more hot tubs. Stone pathways meander through gardens and meditation areas that include several rock fireplaces, a barrel sauna and cold plunge, a koi pond, and a greenhouse, while two stairways descend to more than 1,000 feet of private shoreline.

    The compund’s six rustic cottages are filtered throughout almost 5.5 acres.

    Per Vickers, the property has served as a jailbreak from the toils of commerce he has conducted over the past 30 years. “In its creation, I reconnected with the nuances of nature—and by all accounts, the storied guests who have visited this property have felt the spell I so overtly set out to cast upon them,” he said in a statement. “In the next chapter, I move to downsize and rejoin family in faraway places. But without hesitation, I fondly admit: My crowning achievement will always be the uncompromising realization of Seacliff.”

    Inside a $14 Million London Penthouse With Ties to Royal Potter Josiah Wedgwood

    A new Mayfair penthouse has hit the market for £10.5 million (about $14.2 million)—and it comes with ties to one of Britain’s most renowned craftsmen. The duplex sits atop Six Charles Street, the former London showroom of Josiah Wedgwood, the father of modern English pottery, who revolutionized ceramics in the 18th century with his innovative designs and royal commissions, turning his work into a global brand prized by queens and aristocrats.

    Wedgwood acquired the Georgian townhouse in 1765, using the lower floors to display his ceramics while keeping a warehouse and pied-à-terre upstairs. The very floor where this penthouse now unfolds once served as his office, from which he secured commissions that defined 18th-century taste. Queen Charlotte’s patronage helped launch his celebrated “Queen’s Ware,” a refined cream-colored earthenware that became so fashionable it was soon being exported across Europe and the American colonies.

    A sculptural staircase opens up to the bright, airy reception and entertaining areas.

    REDD Real Estate/Casa E Progetti

    In 1773, Russian envoy Aleksey Musin-Pushkin arrived at Six Charles Street on behalf of Empress Catherine the Great. The visit resulted in one of Wedgwood’s most famous commissions: the Imperial Green Service, a 952-piece set crafted in his Chelsea studio and now preserved in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.

    The address quickly became synonymous with Wedgwood’s ascent from craftsman to court favorite. Other notable patrons included Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire—portrayed by Keira Knightley in the 2008 film The Duchess.

    The building itself has evolved over the centuries. In 1849, it was remodeled with a grand Italianate stucco facade; in the Victorian era, it was home to art critic John Ruskin; and after World War I, it was divided into apartments. Recently, developer REDD Real Estate restored the landmark, preserving its history while creating 11 modern residences.

    Three bedroom suites occupy the lower level, including a primary with a dressing room and marble bath.

    REDD Real Estate/Casa E Progetti

    A newly finished duplex penthouse crowns the property. Spanning 2,207 square feet across two levels, the spacious pad evokes a private townhouse. On the lower floor lie three bedroom suites, including a generous primary with a dressing room and marble-clad bath. A sculptural staircase leads up to the living and entertaining spaces, including a dual-aspect reception room, an eight-seat dining area, a cocktail bar, and French doors that open onto a 246-square-foot roof terrace—a rarity in London.

    The bespoke kitchen comes with Miele and Gaggenau appliances, while oak herringbone floors, veined marble, and custom joinery underscore the attention to detail. Designed by 1508 London, the interiors are replete with modcons, such as a Crestron lighting system, Banham security, and underfloor heating.

    Wealthy Americans are taking advantage of a dip in London’s luxury market, snapping up prime properties at prices far below their peak. Beauchamp Estates reports U.S. buyers made up 25 percent of high-end London purchases last year, up from 18 percent in 2023, while American and Middle Eastern buyers accounted for 50 percent of transactions over £15 million ($20 million) in the first half of 2025. These acquisitions are concentrated in the city’s most exclusive neighborhoods: Mayfair, Chelsea, Kensington, Notting Hill, Belgravia, St. John’s Wood, and Hampstead.
