The “Beverly Hillbillies” Estate Is On Sale – Price Reduced!
That’s right, it’s the real estate bargain of the century! The 10.3-acre Bel Air estate known as “Chartwell” is for sale — and the original price of $350 million –
YES, $350-MILLION!
– has been reduced to a fire sale price of only:
$195-Million!
Aside from being the most expensive house in the US, the estate was featured as the Clampett mansion in the classic TV show, “The Beverly Hillbillies.”
And now, the price has been cut from $350-million to only $195-million – and you get A LOT OF HOUSE for that price!
As Fortune just reported:
“The house that was featured as the setting for The Beverly Hillbillies has been on the market for roughly two years and has yet to secure a buyer. And now, the owners have dropped the price—again—by $50 million.
That puts the estate, formally known as Chartwell, at just over half of what the original asking price was when it hit the market in August 2017. The initial asking price was $350 million.
The 10.4 acre estate, with a 20,000 square foot main house and a 5,700 square foot guesthouse, actually belonged to A. Jerrold “Jerry” Perenchio, the media tycoon who sold Univision in 2007 and had a hand in the production of 1970s sitcom hits including The Jeffersons and One Day at a Time. Perenchio died in May 2017.
It’s about as upscale as posh real estate can get, with 11 rooms (including five in the guest house), a 75-foot pool with pool house, tennis court, and parking for 40 cars in the garage. And that’s not even including the 12,000 bottle wine cellar.”
I’ll take it!

The mansion was originally built in 1933 by architect Sumner Spaulding, and most recently owned by entertainment mogul Jerry Perenchio, who purchased the estate in 1986. He recently died, and the house is now for sale – with a massive price reduction!
It’s just one of the cool landmarks in LA for entertainment junkies to enjoy – like the legendary Formosa Cafe:

The iconic Formosa Cafe is one of Hollywood’s great haunts, and people were devastated when it closed a few years ago – but now it has reopened for a new generation of Hollywood to enjoy!
Here is the story of this iconic institution:

I have to agree that it’s a bargain, relatively speaking.
But unless they might accept around $25,000, I am sadly out of the running. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Pete, it’s a bit of a commentary on the shockingly high prices here in LA…studio apartments rent for $3k per month, and $5-million homes are “tear downs”
