The surrounding grounds are no less spectacular: A resort-style pool dominates the deck just off the house, along with a jacuzzi and pool house (a caretaker apartment occupies the second floor) and a cabana kitchen. Formal gardens and a fountain are part of the four acres of manicured lawn. There’s also a sports field, a tennis court, a basketball court, a fenced dog run and a six-car garage. Security patrols the property 24/7. Neighbors include Denzel Washington, Sly Stallone and Eddie Murphy.

The auction of the mansion is scheduled to start on January 26, 2021, and bids may be placed until February 3. The digital company Concierge Auctions is responsible for the event, and has not yet released the minimum bid. The owner will be forced to accept the highest bid, which is likely to break the record value offered by a mansion auctioned in the United States.

The property, originally offered for sale in 2018 for $165 million, is now put up for auction by its owner, the current president of Air Lease Corp, with the aim of optimizing the sale.
