XXL Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Madonna sells her mansion in Beverly Hills for $19.5 million http://www.latimes.com/classified/realestate/hot-property/la-fi-hotprop-madonna-20131024,0,4008013.story#axzz2iisg7964 By Lauren Beale This post has been updated. See the note below for details October 24, 2013, 1:39 p.m Madonna has sold her mansion in Beverly Hills for $19.5 million, The Times has confirmed The property was first marketed last year as a pocket listing and this year appeared on the Multiple Listing Service priced at $22.5 million. During her nearly decade of ownership, the pop icon rebuilt and expanded the estate, completing it in 2010. The discrete MLS listing showed only an aerial view, and agents and their clients who toured the home were among the few who have had a look inside. The gabled-roofed behemoth sits behind gates on 1.25 acres of landscaped grounds. The compound, accessed by a 500-foot tree-lined driveway, includes a nine-bedroom main house, two guesthouses, a resort-size swimming pool and a tennis court. There is a two-story dining room, a gym, a theater/screening room, an art studio, a bar and 17,000 square feet of living space The singer-songwriter, 55, is one of the best-selling female recording artists of all time. Among her hit songs are "Vogue," "Borderline" and "Material Girl." She bought the property in 2003 for $12 million, according to Times archives Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency and Barry Peele of Sotheby's International Real Estate were the listing agents. Ben Bacal, also of Sotheby's International Real Estate, represented the buyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 So it finally sold? I feel like it's been on the market for like a decade now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Oh and Castillo De Lago will always be my fav Madonna home. Did she sell it cause she didn't like living in LA or was it cause she was never there? That home was to die for! It was so stunning. So rustic, so hollywood hills, soooo beautiful. I would love to live there. Walk outside in the morning in a jock with the California breeze hitting me. It's a beautiful home, perfect backyard for a party.

It's fantastic, I think at the time it was reported Madonna didn't feel safe there anymore, especially with Lola... Remember hat stalker just climbed over the walls.

VogueMusic Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 She seems to be a New Yorker 100% now. Plus, hasn't she always stressed how much she actually hated living in LA, and has always preferred NYC? Castillo De Lago was beautiful though. Didn't some Russians buy it and fuck it up?

XXL Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Oh and Castillo De Lago will always be my fav Madonna home.

I would love to live there. Walk outside in the morning in a jock with the California breeze hitting me. It's a beautiful home, perfect backyard for a party. She sold it because that time (1995) was when she started living part time in the UK, starting with the Evita recording sessions, way before Andy Bird and Guy, she was spending more time between NY and London and then she actually married a Brit 5 years later and when she purchased new properties in Beverly Hills they reflected her new role as a mother first and then as a mother and a wife, obviously still grand properties (not the average mum and wife property lol) but more functional. I loved both her Diane Keaton and Sela Ward purchases. The Diane Keaton one was in Loz Feliz I believe This Castillo Del Lago property is grand and nice but imo not suitable to family life, it's more in the tone of formerly famous superstar living a secluded life in her gilded castle. I think this house was as good as it went along with the aesthetics of the post Erotica/ Bedtime Story era/Evita incipit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Yeah the scary guy, not suitable for Lola and trouble with neighbours made her want to move (if my memory serves correct). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenButterfly Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I swear I've seen Castillo De Lago used for a backdrop of filler shows on VH1 Classic and shows on other networks, correct me if I'm wrong. I think that One Hit Wonders of the 80s/90s show may have been filmed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rachelle of London Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I love Castillo del Lago my fave M house is the Coconut Grove house , someone uploaded pics in the old Madonna Houses thread! The house on Star Island isnt so impressive but still lovely!!

Raider of the lost Ark Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 The Wallace Neff house she bought from Diane Keaton of North Roxbury Drive was/is to die for. Unfortunately that wasn't (megastar) safe either. Most likely the reason the bought the house on Sunset Boulevard. Although "on" is not quite correct except for the adress and the gate. The property itself is a flag lot surrounded by other estates which guarantees complete privacy. Too bad there were never any pictures except for this aerial shot.
