      ‘Shake It Up’ Star Bella Thorne’s Snazzy SoCal Estate Just Hit the Market for $4 Million

      by

      Through the years, Bella Thorne has amassed an extensive acting resume. After her breakout role as dancer CeCe Jones in the Disney Channel series Shake It Up alongside Zendaya, she went on to snag TV and movie parts in Blended, The Duff, Amityville: The Awakening, The Babysitter franchise, Famous in Love, and Girl, just to name a few. Along the way, she released the hit single Watch Me. The popular social media influencer also branched out to writing and producing, not to mention fashion and jewelry design.

      Now the 27-year-old Florida native is shifting gears on the real estate front, hoisting her hideaway in the rural Los Angeles area of Topanga Canyon in the foothills above Malibu on the market for nearly $4 million. That’s around $700,000 more than she paid for the place in April 2019, though she did add plenty of personal touches to the Mediterranean-style digs during her tenure. Jason Oppenheim and Erin Montgomery of The Oppenheim Group hold the listing.

      The foyer’s bifurcated staircase is adorned with a massive floral installation created by Kristen Alpaugh.

      Tucked away down a private, gated lane on a 10-acre hillside parcel offering up picturesque mountain, city lights, and ocean vistas, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure was built in 2014. A total of five en suite bedrooms and six baths are spread across roughly 6,600 square feet on two levels with arched windows and a mix of hardwood and stone floors throughout. There’s also a detached 945-square-foot guesthouse with its own bedroom, bath, living area, and two-car garage.

      Among the highlights is a grand double-height entry foyer, which features a bifurcated staircase adorned with a striking faux floral installation that was created by noted botanical artist Kristen Alpaugh in collaboration with Thorne; it is included in the sale. From there, the family room has a marble fireplace enhanced with glass shards, dangling cloud light fixtures, and a black-and-white wall mural depicting legendary Hollywood figures from Marilyn Monroe to Robin Williams.

      The lavender-hued dining room has stone floors, arched windows, and tree-themed French doors.

      A lavender-hued formal dining room sporting French doors with a decorative iron tree motif connects to a kitchen outfitted with a Madre Perla quartzite island, Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and dual dishwashers, while a fireside primary suite has cherubs painted on the ceiling, a balcony, a walk-in closet, and a chandelier-topped bath equipped with a huge soaking tub. And, according to People magazine, the place also has an ivy-laced bar nook and a two-story living area that’s been transformed into a “hangout room” with a hot-pink pool table.

      Once outside, the sprawling grounds are spotlighted by a pergola-shaded patio that’s ideal for alfresco lounging with a built-in barbecue station, plus a grassy lawn hosting a PebbleSheen pool with waterfalls and a mosaic-tiled spillover spa, as well as a fire pit surrounded by banquette seating.

      Nick and Vanessa Lachey List Their Modern SoCal Farmhouse for $7.5 Million

      by

      It’s been barely a year since Nick and Vanessa Lachey put their snazzy Honolulu residence up for sale and doled out $6.8 million for all-new modern farmhouse-style digs in Los Angeles. Now the married reality TV show hosts are already looking to offload their stylish spread tucked away in a prime pocket of Encino with a $700,000 jump in price, asking just under $7.5 million. Craig Knizek and Mauricio Umansky of the Agency share the listing.

      Completed in 2023, the six-bedroom, nine-bathroom abode rests amid a secluded cul-de-sac parcel spanning nearly half an acre in the gated Amstoy Estates neighborhood. Roughly 8,200 square feet of three-level living space is accented with white oak floors, high ceilings, and designer lighting throughout, and the property is securely protected by a perimeter-wide surveillance system.

      A soaring wood door pivots open into the entry foyer, which flows to a fireside living room, an ensuite guest bedroom, and another bedroom that’s ideally suited for an office. An open-concept great room’s formal dining area and family room flow to the kitchen, which is outfitted with stone countertops, a large eat-in island, Thermador appliances, and a butler’s pantry.

      The lower level is decked out with a vaulted safe room, a movie theater, a gym, a recreation room, and a seated bar with a glass-encased wine wall. And a floating wood-railed staircase winds its way up to the top floor, where the primary suite flaunts a fireplace, dual designer showroom closets, and a luxe marble bath equipped with two vanities, a makeup counter, a soaking tub, and a steam shower.

      The amenities continue in the turf-clad backyard, which hosts a covered terrace flanked by a barbecue station, a pool with a Baja shelf and spa, and a fire pit conversation area nestled beside a cabana. Out in front of the two-tone structure is a double-gated circular driveway that empties out at an attached three-car garage, with a sports court sitting discreetly off to the side.

      The co-hosts of Netflix’s reality dating shows Love Is Blind and The Ultimatum purchased their Hawaii home near Oahu’s Kahala Beach in 2022 for $8.8 million, soon after Vanessa was cast in the CBS show NCIS: Hawaiʻi  in 2021, and subsequently sold it last summer for nearly $9.5 million soon after the police procedural was canceled after three seasons. Before moving to Hawaii, they also transferred an L.A.-area home to tennis pro Naomi Osaka for $6.3 million.

      Fashion Designer Lela Rose Puts Her Whimsical N.Y.C. Triplex on the Market for $10.8 Million

      by

      A newly listed triplex maisonette in the heart of Tribeca was made for fashionistas—quite literally.

      The $10.8 million condo is being brought to market by the fashion designer Lela Rose. Stocked in high-end stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, Rose has dressed numerous celebs, from Anne Hathaway to Gwyneth Paltrow. Her five-bedroom, 5.5-bath abode is clearly suited for a creative, with showstopping amenities that you’re unlikely to find in many New York City apartments. Richard Orenstein at Brown Harris Stevens holds the listing.

      Tables rise from the floor and drop from the ceiling of the bamboo platform.

      Brown Harris Stevens

      A private street entrance leads you into the 6,000-square-foot residence, where you land in the formal living room, with 16-foot ceilings and grand gallery walls for showing off your art. Adjacent is a bamboo platform with a wet bar, where Rose carries out her “dinner theater”: Mechanized glass dining tables drop from the ceiling and rise from the floor, with space for up to 68 guests. For meals during which you’re not trying to make such a statement, a more standard dining area sits just off the stainless-steel chef’s kitchen.

      Past a small lounge area, a sculptural staircase takes you up and down to the sleeping quarters. The primary suite is situated on the middle level, where the bedroom spills out to a private decked terrace. An office sits on the opposite side of the deck, and there’s a massive closet lined with red carpet. Rose is a fashion designer to the stars, after all.

      A tequila tasting room is found on the lower level of the unit.

      Brown Harris Stevens

      Two additional bedrooms are found on the upper level, and a guest suite occupies the lower level. Down here, there’s also a playroom for kids and a temperature-controlled tequila tasting room for adults. If you’re moving in with any furry friends, there’s a whimsical dog elevator to boot—Rose’s dog couldn’t do all the stairs.

      As someone who makes a living off of her taste, Rose has certainly imbued her signature style into her home. That’s a common theme when designers and their associates bring their residences to market, and we get a peek at their personal preferences when it comes to everyday living. Last month, for example, Valentino cofounder Giancarlo Giammetti listed his $17.5 million Manhattan penthouse. With a bedroom blanketed in leopard-print carpet, the unit felt quite befitting of the Italian businessman.

      Bill Koch’s Storied Cape Cod Compound Once Hosted JFK. Now It Can Be Yours for $24 Million.

      by

      Billionaire collector Bill Koch is parting ways with a piece of Cape Cod history. 

      His 7.5-acre waterfront estate in Osterville’s gated Oyster Harbors enclave just hit the market for $23.85 million with Joanna Dresser and Kelly Crosby of LandVest | Christie’s International Real Estate—and it comes with some serious provenance. Before Koch bought the property in 2013 for $19.5 million, it belonged to banking heir Paul Mellon and his wife, Rachel “Bunny” Mellon, the influential horticulturist who designed the White House Rose Garden. The Mellons hosted everyone from movie stars to world leaders here, including their close friends John and Jackie Kennedy. 

      The main house, built in 1954, clocks in at 7,300 square feet with eight bedrooms and plenty of breezy, understated style. Think wide-plank floors, original fireplaces, and views of either the gardens or the sea from just about every room. There are also two two-bedroom guest cottages, a former art studio-turned-private suite, a greenhouse, and a beach house that’s barely changed since the Kennedys came by for cocktails.

      Outside, Bunny’s signature is everywhere. She spent years shaping the gardens—layering native plantings, specimen trees, and orchards into a landscape that feels effortless and relaxed. And in classic Mellon fashion, when the property lacked natural dunes, the couple simply brought in 2,000 tons of sand to build their own 20-foot privacy berm. 

      “It is important to me to preserve the home the way I remembered it when I used to visit Paul and Bunny, and maintain their influence and style over the estate,” Koch said in a statement.

      The property includes over 500 feet of waterfront, a deepwater dock, and access to a small private island that now serves as a bird sanctuary. Koch has used the home as guest overflow in recent years and occasionally rented it out for $25,000 a week, The New York Post reported. 

      The listing comes as Koch trims down his Cape portfolio. He’s also asking $10.5 million for a nearby 1.75-acre parcel and previously listed another piece of the former Mellon spread for $16 million. Meanwhile, his real estate holdings still include a ranch in Colorado, a Palm Beach compound, and a $125 million estate outside Aspen. And if this sale wasn’t enough, Koch just offloaded nearly 8,000 bottles from his famed wine cellar in a record-breaking auction at Christie’s. The three-day sale brought in $28.8 million.

      Legendary Singing Cowboy Roy Rogers’s Former L.A. Home Can Be Yours for $7.2 Million

      by

      Roy Rogers passed away in July 1998 at age 86 with his wife and co-star Dale Evans by his side, but the beloved singing cowboy’s legacy lives on at the Los Angeles estate he once called home—not to mention via his long-running weekly TV show bearing the sign-off tune Happy Trails to You and the 90 or so movies the good guy in a white Stetson starred in throughout his lengthy career. On the market for the first time in more than half a century, the traditional residence is now up for sale in the San Fernando Valley community of Sherman Oaks for $7.2 million.

      Owned by the “King of the Cowboys” for almost 30 years before he relocated to his final resting place at the Double-R-Bar Ranch in Apple Valley near the California city of Victorville, where the Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Museum once stood before it was shuttered in 2009, this particular house in the desirable Longridge Estates neighborhood was built in the late 1930s and resided in by Rogers during World War II. Last sold to attorney Stephen Taylor and his wife Elizabeth back in spring 1971 for a mere $102,500, the place has been in the same family ever since.

      A cozy fireside library dressed in rustic knotty pine paneling gives off cabin-like vibes.

      Resting amid a gated hillside parcel spanning a full acre, with 135 feet of “sweeping frontage” on Longridge Avenue, the wood-sided and stucco structure features four bedrooms and five baths in a little more than 5,000 square feet of decidedly dated living space on two levels. A bright blue front door opens into a wallpapered entry foyer, which flows to an expansive formal living room sporting a bay window and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace enhanced with a tiled surround.

      A dining area connects to the stone-floored kitchen, which is outfitted with ceramic countertops, a central island with a cooktop, and a breakfast nook that spills out to a large patio adorned with built-in redwood seating and a barbecue station. Other highlights include a sunroom with a bar and pool table setup, an office with an en suite bath, and a cozy wood-paneled library/den warmed by a fireplace.

      The formal powder blue-hued living room features a wood-burning fireplace with a tiled surround.

      An upstairs primary suite comes with a fireplace, Juliet balconies, a separate lounge, a walk-in closet, and a bath flaunting dual vanities and a step-up soaking tub. And rounding it all out are the greenery-encased grounds, which are showcased by a large swimmer’s pool encircled by a sundeck, as well as a spacious cabana. There’s also an attached 1,075-square-foot garage with room for up to four vehicles.

      Per the listing, which is held by Donovan Healey of Coldwell Banker Realty and comes with plans to build a new modern house on the site, the true value of the property lies in its land, location, and limitless potential. “Whether restored, reimagined or rebuilt entirely,” Healey said, “this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a world-class estate in a setting rich with history and charm.”

      A window-lined space with a seated bar serves as a billiards room.

      Most remembered for his harmonious voice and crinkly expression and, of course, his golden palomino pal Trigger, the Ohio native recorded hits such as Tumbling Tumbleweeds and Cool Water with the Sons of the Pioneers trio before getting his big break as the star of the 1938 film Under Western Stars. He went on to have his biggest hit as a solo artist in 1946 with My Chickashay Gal, and also took part in touring rodeos, marketed clothes and toys, and even had a restaurant chain named after him.

      Rogers was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame twice, first in 1980 as a member of the original Sons of the Pioneers, and again in 1988 as an individual. In 2025, the U.S. Library of Congress added Happy Trails to the National Recording Registry, a list of audio recordings deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” Dale, who he married in 1947 and called his “sweetheart and hunting and fishing partner all wrapped up into one,” passed away three years after him in 2001.

      NASCAR’s Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Just Sold His North Carolina Ranch in a Record-Setting $12.2 Million Deal

      by

      In North Carolina racing country, it’s only fitting that the newest real estate record belongs to a NASCAR champion.

      Ricky Stenhouse Jr., winner of the 2023 Daytona 500 and two-time Xfinity Series champ, has just sold his Mooresville estate for $12.2 million, setting a new residential price record for the greater Charlotte metro area. Known as Slide Job Ranch, the roughly 140-acre spread blends equestrian grandeur with high-octane heritage, a nod to its string of motorsports legends, including former owners Ernie Irvan and Joe Nemechek.

      The deal, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, marks a dramatic return on investment for Stenhouse, who purchased the property in 2013 for $3.8 million. Represented by Josh Tucker and Joey Adams of Corcoran HM Properties, the driver sold the estate to an all-cash buyer from South Florida—someone with no ties to NASCAR, despite the home’s track-side pedigree.

      The sprawling 140-acre estate has extensive equestrian amenities.

      Cameron Glenn

      “This estate is truly one of a kind,” Tucker says. “From its world-class equestrian facilities to its resort-style grounds and exquisite architectural craftsmanship, it’s a rare property not only for Charlotte, but for the entire Southeast.”

      Originally built around 2000 and extensively renovated under Stenhouse’s ownership, the more than 9,100-square-foot main residence is packed with plush details: a gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops and a walk-in pantry, a private library, a home theater, and expansive terraces that look out over the sweeping grounds. Outside, a vanishing-edge pool, pool house, putting green, and alfresco kitchen with fireplace turn up the resort vibes.

      Horse lovers will find plenty to gawk at, too. The European-style stables stretch 5,500 square feet and feature 18 custom stalls, a climate-controlled tack room, and a covered arena designed to top-tier standards.

      The main house features luxe touches like a gourmet kitchen, private library, home theater, and expansive terraces.

      The property was last available at $12.99 million but ultimately sold after it had been taken off the open market. The sale eclipses the previous Charlotte-area record: an $11.5 million waterfront estate on Lake Norman sold in July 2024.

      “This record-breaking sale is a testament to the continued strength of the Charlotte luxury market,” Tucker says. “Buyers at this price point are looking for more than just a home—they’re seeking a particular lifestyle, ultimate privacy, and unique amenities, and this property delivers on all those fronts.”

      Stenhouse, for his part, isn’t heading far. He and his wife Madyson still own a neighboring 160-acre parcel, which they purchased in 2018, and are reportedly considering building a new home nearby. Slide job, indeed.

      Jake Paul Drops $39 Million on a Legendary Georgia Sporting Ranch

      by

      Jake Paul has been talking about buying a ranch for most of his life. Now, at 28, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has done just that—only on a scale few could have imagined. In a deal that quietly closed in April, Paul paid $39 million for Southlands, a nearly 5,700-acre sporting plantation in Georgia’s Decatur County. The sale, brokered by Jon Kohler and Walter Hatchett of Jon Kohler & Associates, is one of the largest recreational land transactions in the Peach State’s history.

      Paul revealed the purchase earlier this month on The Iced Coffee Hour podcast, saying he used the roughly $30 million he earned from his 2024 boxing match against Mike Tyson to fund the deal. “I’ve wanted to buy a ranch for the last 15 years,” he said. “I wanted a place where I can wakesurf, hunt, and build a racetrack.” He also spoke about growing his own vegetables and spending time in nature, drawing inspiration from childhood visits to a cabin with his father.

      The main lodge has eight bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms.

      Jon Kohler & Associates

      Paul, who also owns a $16 million mansion in Puerto Rico, chose one of the South’s most storied estates. Southlands, dating back nearly a century, was originally assembled as a 26,000-acre tract by pioneering conservationist Herbert Stoddard, co-founder of the nonprofit organization Tall Timbers. In 1937, Rhode Island senator and industrialist Houghton Metcalf bought the land and built a lodge overlooking what’s now Lake Seminole.

      The property spans 5,700 mostly undeveloped acres.

      Jon Kohler & Associates

      By the late 1950s, International Paper had taken over, transforming it into a teaching forest and southern headquarters for its 12-million-acre timber empire. The property remained under corporate ownership until 2010, when philanthropist and land investor Jim Dahl acquired it as part of a 160,000-acre deal. After reselling much of the land, Dahl hung on to Southlands as his crown jewel.

      There’s a stocked lake for fishing, in addition to a 30-acre duck pond.

      Jon Kohler & Associates

      Today, the plantation includes 4.5 miles of lake frontage, a stocked fishing lake, a 30-acre duck pond, vast irrigated fields, and five miles of spring-fed creeks with waterfalls. Wildlife is abundant—wild quail, trophy whitetail deer, and turkey thrive here—and the land is managed to the highest standards.

      The main lodge, perched on a bluff, has eight bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms. There’s also a new horse barn for quail hunts, a manager’s residence, a guest house, and multiple outbuildings, all surrounded by pine forests and long, private roads.

      In the podcast, Paul called the property a dream come true. And, of course, for the right kind of land buyer, Southlands always has been.
