The Lowdown: Rupert Murdoch finally closed on the Moraga Vineyards and Winery, the huge Bel Air estate once owned by Wizard of Oz director Victor Fleming. Now a commercial winery, the the property also includes a wine cave (with an inventory worth $4 million), office building, and a whole lotta grapes. Moraga released its first wines in 1992, and Murdoch reportedly plans to keep the business going. Oddly enough, this isn't the only vineyard with an old Hollywood connection on our list this week.

The Lowdown: This open-plan, many-windowed Malibu house has everything you need for a summer weekend: 61 feet of beach frontage, tons of parking, three fireplaces, an ocean-front spa, game room, and a bar on every floor. Lucky for the new owner that LA summers don't actually end in August.
