Previously described as the "greatest entertainment house ever”, his wife Candy Spelling once recalled how “all the stars came through'' at events, including Jackie Kennedy, Prince Charles, and “every star from every one of Aaron’s shows.”

The Manor spans 56,000 square feet , with 123 rooms, including 14 bedrooms, 27 bathrooms, multiple living rooms, four bars, and three kitchens.
Amenities include a Hollywood-approved screening room, a wine cellar, and a spectacular library. There’s also a gym, bowling alley, and hair salon.
On the grounds are a swimming pool, tennis court and four two-car garages with a parking lot with space for another 100 vehicles.
The Holmby Hills property made history in 2011, when Candy Spelling sold the home to British heiress Petra Stunt, the daughter of Formula 1 racing magnate Bernie Ecclestone.

At age 23, Stunt purchased the palatial estate for $85 million in cash, and invested an additional $20 million to remodel the property with a team of 500 under Los Angeles interior designer, Gavin Brodin.
The interiors were updated with a monochrome and Euro-chic aesthetic, although the redesign kept much of the property’s original integrity intact.
Aaron Spelling’s original film editing room (located behind the screen of the movie theater) was preserved during the remodel, complete with his hand-written notes.
The mega-mansion was last sold in 2019 for a record-breaking $119.7M to an anonymous Saudi Arabian buyer who purchased Holmby Hills mega-mansion “sight unseen”.
At the time, ‘The Manor’ broke the record as the highest price for a sold home in California.
One of the greatest estates in the world and an iconic piece of Los Angeles history.
