Priced at $8.9 million (which is a mark down from its original $9.5 million listing price), the 10-bedroom, 13-bathroom house has bounced on and off the market for nearly a year and a half. The estate is hidden away in the high-end community of Avila, which allows for all the privacy a new owner can possibly desire.

Along with a striking 28,893-square-foot main house, the property also has a 2,600-square-foot guesthouse.

  • Elevator

  • Many terraces

While it’s strange that the home has managed to fly under the radar of Zillow Gone Wild for so long, fans have recently sunk their teeth into the estate.
