Spelling Mansion on Market for $150 Million
By: Diane Tuman, Zillow Content Manager | March 27, 2009
Candy Spelling, widow of the late mega-TV producer Aaron Spelling (”Charlie’s Angels,” “Dynasty,” “Starsky and Hutch,” “Beverly Hills 90210,” “Melrose Place,” “The Love Boat,” “Fantasy Island,” “Vega$,” “Hart to Hart,” … and the list goes on and on…) and mother to Tori and Randy Spelling, has put “The Manor” up for sale for $150 million, according to Gawker.
Located in the Westwood section of LA at 594 S Mapleton Dr, Los Angeles, CA, the home is being co-listed by Coldwell Banker’s Sally Forster Jones. It is said to be the most expensive home for sale in the U.S.
Here are a few interesting anecdotes about the sale:
- Spelling doesn’t know how many bathrooms the 56,000 sq ft home has.
- Spelling had her Wheaten Terrier “Madison” pick out the real estate agent.
- Spelling is trading mansion life for a luxurious, two-story condo in Los Angeles that she bought last year for $47 million.
If the Mapleton address is familiar-sounding, it’s because Hugh Hefner’s “other” home (next to the Playboy Mansion) is 500 S Mapleton Dr and it, too, is for sale — for $27.9 million.
An interview with Candy Spelling will air tonight on ABC’s 20/20.

I would like this property but have only $ 350,000
to spend. Is that possible?

Based on your expressed budget, I think if the house remains unsold for a few years (like that unsold $125,000,000 home a few doors down listed two years ago), my thought is it can’t hurt to ask! Why, if you ask nicely, who knows? At the very least, Candy just may decide to sell you one of the bathroom fixtures in the Master Suite, engraved “To Charles, from Candy Spelling” or something like that, maybe even signed, for $350,000! You would be getting quite a collectible.

If you get to sell it, could you kindly donate some money for the special education of California?
Good luck!

Crappy house. The roof leaked for years and the home and attic is full of mold. The front and one side of the house face a very busy and noisy public park and at night the drug dealers and hookers fill that park. You are kitty corner to Hefners Sex Palace and you can hear his sex parties late into the night and the Police and DA Cooley have been taped with underage girls at Hefners “Mansion” so no one can shut the all night parties and bs up at the Playboy Whorehouse. I can understand why shes tired of going out to her Tennis Court and having to sweep womens panties and condoms off before she can play since the girls at the parties that dont want sex are raped on the abutting Country Club Golf Course. I am suprised she lasted this long most people next to the Whorehouse move out within a few years of making teh mistake of buying within a mile of it.

$150 million are you kidding! I find it highly unlikely this home will sell for that much. Doesn’t she know we are in a recession???

The middle class and below are in a recession not the folks she’s trying to reach.

56,000 square foot home? That is more than an acre at 43560! Wow! Massive!
