This property is on the market for $50,000,000, listed with The Agency. 

This 1930s Mediterranean-style estate, known as Villa Ruchello, sits on 3.35 lush acres, one of the largest residential lots in Santa Monica, surrounded by lawns, gardens and citrus groves. 

Set on a quiet cul-de-sac just one mile from the ocean, the ultra-private and gated estate includes a 1930s mansion and 2 guest houses, offering a total of 14,000 square feet of interior space with 13 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, and dual kitchens. 

The property is prime for entertaining, with a pool house with an entertainer’s bar, wood-fire pizza oven, and an Argentinian grill, adjacent to the 74-foot swimming pool. 

A Japanese-style cedar soaking tub is nestled in a quiet corner of the estate. There’s also a children’s play area and bocce court, in addition to sprawling lawns perfectly suited for hosting large-scale events. 

The entire residence has been reinfused with Hollywood glamour by designer Kerry Joyce, and updated for modern life with automated security control, sound, lighting, and temperature, at the touch of a button. 

The property definitely has a Hollywood feel about it (the home has appeared in “The Entourage” and “Beverly Hills Cop”) with hand-painted beamed ceilings, carved mantels, and a staircase crafted from Moroccan ceramic tile and white oak. 

The bookshelf swings open to reveal its own speakeasy bar by MJ Atelier, and there’s even a hidden staircase that takes you down to the wine cellar by Shamshiri.

The main residence features 8 bedrooms and the luxurious master suite with dual dressing rooms, a luxurious freestanding soaking tub and hamman with steam shower, with direct access to private patios. 

The entire estate features private wells and its own generator.
