Beverly Hills estate, Los Angeles, California

The wealthy casino magnate Steve Wynn has owned this magnificent estate in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, since 2015. The property was listed for $110 million in January 2021. Remarkably, Realtor reports that the price was strangely increased to $125 million after the renowned estate failed to find a suitable buyer. This makes the property one of the priciest house listings in California to date. Subsequently, there have been several price reductions, with the listed price in March 2024 being a much reduced still noteworthy $65 million.

The Bella Vista Estate, Summerland, California

The opulent residence, which was constructed in 2005, blends the beauty of 18th-century Italian and French interior design with Neoclassical grandeur. This elegant dining room features a skylight, double French windows, a flowery ceiling fresco, a subdued green color scheme, and a view of the polo field that brings the outside within. There are further living and dining rooms, a family room, and a gourmet kitchen in this house.

This 200-person ballroom will enable the owner to host some amazing post-match festivities. In addition, there are many additional places to keep guests entertained, such as a sports bar, gym, spa, and movie theater with 20 seats. There is plenty room for guests thanks to a separate guest wing, two more guest cottages, a pool house, and a polo clubhouse.

The Flicker Estate, West Hollywood, California

Visitors are welcomed by a grand chandelier made of gold and breath-taking vistas seen via a wall of glass that reaches the ceiling. Beyond are indoor and outdoor eating rooms and a striking floating herb garden built by Italian Arclinea. Almost every room in the house opens out onto a large terrace, allowing for indoor-outdoor living.

Apart from the several terraces, the outside spaces are just as magnificent as the opulent inside. If the 30-person Jacuzzi tub, 18-foot underground firepit, 100-foot infinity pool, and several seating spaces aren't enough to keep you and your guests occupied, this floating volleyball court made of white sand will.

Willow Creek Estancia, Rancho Santa Fe, California

This magnificent Rancho Santa Fe house is located about thirty minutes north of San Diego. The 77-acre estate, which was most recently marketed for $98.5 million, offers both an exquisite equestrian lifestyle and luxurious living. Although there are 'only' six bedrooms and seven bathrooms in the main house, there is more than enough space for all of your equine friends and staff accommodations elsewhere on the estate.

The home has many dining and sitting rooms, a spacious office with a fireplace and its own independent door and other spaces with exposed beams.  A wine cellar, tasting area, billiards room, and even a section designated for arts and crafts are located on the basement floor. The first level is dedicated to the master "retreat," which comprises a spacious bedroom with a fireplace and a private terrace, as well as an office, a workout room, a huge bathroom, and twin walk-in closets.

Though the ranch is obviously focused on horses, there's much for non-equestrians to do as well. Adjacent to a "recreation pavilion" that features a card table, arcade, bowling alley, and exercise facility is one of the separate guest homes.

The owner and their visitors may unwind on the many terraces and verandas of the estate, swim in the 20-foot lap pool, fish the 15-acre private lake full of bass, practice meditation in the loggia, or just wander through the rose garden. Finding enough time to do everything will be their sole challenge, which is a good issue to have!
