British Formula One Racing heiress Petra Ecclestone bought this 56,500-square-foot Holmby Hills mansion in 2011, for a shocking $85 million—still well below the $150 million that sellers Aaron and Candy Spelling had been hoping for. Will Ecclestone fare better with her sale of The Manor? She began quietly shopping it around in July for $150 million (although rumor has it she'd take just enough to beat Fleur de Lys's $102-million record).

A hand-carved library, 29 bedrooms, 40 bathrooms, an Art Deco nightclub: Beverly House in Beverly HIlls has all of those things, plus more pedigree than it knows what to do with. Designed by Gordon Kauffman in the 1920s, it was purchased by actress Marion Davies in 1946 as a gift for her lover, newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst; in the 1950s, John F. and Jackie Kennedy honeymooned at the house; and it has a prominent role in The Godfather. The house is listed for $135 million.

"Considered by many to be one of the great estates in the world [citation needed]," Malibu's Villa Contenta has been on and off the market for years (for a time, you could buy just pieces of the property, like the insane, freestanding indoor pool). Here's the whole thing—greenhouse, natatorium, guest suite, guesthouse, and grounds that include "acres of manicured lawn" and a rose garden up for grabs, plus the giant house with "twin 18th-century chandeliers of amethyst and rock crystal" in the dining room. The property is asking $54 million.

It's pretty unusual for something that's only 14 years old to have a "timeless grandeur and elegance," but that's what the listing says about this place in Beverly Hills. Seven bedrooms and 15 bathrooms fit for a king or Ponzi-schemer, the house is sited on 5.2 acres in Beverly Crest. The ask is $37.5 million.

All signs point to this property becoming a teardown: "One of the last opportunities to own significant acreage in prime Beverly Hills location with the opportunity to build the ultimate compound. 10+ acres up a gated and private drive," plus there's just one picture, of the backyard. (The Redfin listing shows a rendering of a run-of-the-mill boxy house—never good.) Regardless of the many unknowns, this property's asking $29.5 million.

Calling itself Palazzo della Figlia, this Bel Air estate is a "powerful and dramatic Tuscan Villa" with a Buddha statue in it.

Asking price is $27.5 million.

"A fantastic beach house, located in what is considered the best spot on the road," this residence just outside the Malibu Colony gates has a great, newish kitchen and its "original tea house which has been enclosed."
