$88 Million Bel-Air Estate Hits the Market Overlooking Golf Club
A newly constructed lavish megamansion designed by SAOTA overlooking Bel-Air Country Club has just hit the market in Los Angeles for an eye-watering $88 million, making it tee its way to the top of the week’s most expensive homes list.
The stunning spec mansion perched on a 1.7-acre promontory was developed by Michael Chen’s Luxford Group and is said to have “previously served as an event space, including for a Louis Vuitton design exhibit,” according to The Real Deal.
Nestled in a gated enclave, the property boasts uninterrupted views from downtown L.A. to the Pacific Ocean. Over-the-top amenities include two kitchens, including a showroom and catering; a 1,000-bottle wine gallery; a home theater with 16-foot screen; a hand-carved stone bar; and a lounge with 50-foot water wall.
Custom-built for entertaining, a 2,500-square-foot rooftop deck has dual pergolas to soak in the skyline views. There is also a wellness pavilion with massage room, steam shower, and dry sauna.
Outdoors, the resort-caliber grounds boast a lap pool flowing into an infinity-edge pool with a spa, a swim-up bar, a sunken fire pit lounge, and a kitchen with barbecue pavilion.
There is also a showroom-style garage for up to nine sports cars and a private staff suite with separate access.
More spectacular estates to make the week’s most expensive homes list include a Tribeca condo in a Robert A.M. Stern–designed building, a three-level condo in Sunny Isles Beach, FL, and a newly constructed compound in Palm Beach with tunnel providing direct beach access to the Atlantic Ocean.

Maison de la Reine: This historic eight-bedroom mansion was built in 1928 for Alphonzo E. Bell, the founder of Bel-Air, and later became the home of Queen Noor of Jordan.
