Bel-Air Megamansion Lists for $88 Million With Wine Gallery

A newly constructed megamansion in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, has been listed for $88 million, positioning it among the week's most expensive real estate offerings. The property, developed by Michael Chen’s Luxford Group and designed by SAOTA, is situated on a 1.7-acre promontory overlooking the Bel-Air Country Club and offers panoramic views stretching from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean. This spec mansion was reportedly used previously as an event space, including for a Louis Vuitton design exhibit, according to The Real Deal. The estate is located within a gated enclave, emphasizing privacy and exclusivity.

The lavish residence is equipped with extensive amenities designed for high-end entertaining and luxurious living. It features two distinct kitchens: one for catering and another as a showroom. A prominent 1,000-bottle wine gallery is a central feature, alongside a home theater boasting a 16-foot screen. Other interior highlights include a hand-carved stone bar and a lounge area with a striking 50-foot water wall. For outdoor entertaining, a 2,500-square-foot rooftop deck provides dual pergolas with city skyline views. The property also includes a dedicated wellness pavilion with a massage room, steam shower, and dry sauna, offering a private spa experience.

The resort-caliber grounds are designed for recreation and relaxation, featuring a lap pool that transitions into an infinity-edge pool with an integrated spa. A swim-up bar enhances the poolside experience, complemented by a sunken fire pit lounge. An outdoor kitchen with a barbecue pavilion is also available for al fresco dining. For automotive enthusiasts, the property includes a showroom-style garage capable of housing up to nine sports cars. Additionally, a private staff suite with separate access ensures discreet service for residents and guests.

This Bel-Air listing joins other notable high-value properties recently featured on the market. These include a condominium in Tribeca within a building designed by Robert A.M. Stern, a three-level condo in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, and a newly constructed compound in Palm Beach, which offers direct beach access to the Atlantic Ocean via a private tunnel. Another significant property mentioned is Maison de la Reine at 10772 Chalon Road in Los Angeles, listed at $32,500,000. This historic eight-bedroom mansion, built in 1928 for Alphonzo E. Bell, the founder of Bel-Air, was once owned by Queen Noor of Jordan and later by Hollywood producer Steven Reuther, who added its cinema and editing suite. The 10,600-square-foot residence features a checkerboard terrazzo foyer.
