Despite being on sale in the ongoing economic recession, Candy Spelling’s mansion in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles is on sale for a whopping $150 million (£105 million). It’s the highest price being asked for a home in the US. Television mogul Aaron Spelling built the house and after his death in 2006, it was passed along to his wife. The French chateau-style mansion was built in 1991, has 5,248 square meters of space on more than 4.6 acres and is also the largest private home in Los Angeles County. The main Spelling house is located at the end of a long driveway and is protected by a security system. Other luxurious amenities include a bowling alley, a gift-wrapping room, a humidity-controlled silver storage room, tennis courts, two swimming pools, barber shop and beauty salon on attic, a spa, an 18th Century-style garden, rooftop garden, a citrus orchard and a parking space for over 100 cars. The screening room is also one of the major highlights, where a projector emerges from the floor at the click of a button as shades cover the windows.

Reports say that there are more than 100 rooms in the mansion, but it’s not confirmed. To this, Mrs Spelling says…

You’re really asking the wrong person. There’s a lot. The house has evolved and I actually haven’t counted.

Ms Sally Forster Jones, an estate agent with Coldwell Banker Previews International, said…

Everything there is glamorous, luxurious and on a really great scale. There really is nothing to compare it to.

Well, the largest home in LA is on sale and it would be really interesting to see if it goes for the asked price in this economic downturn.
