California Dominates This Week’s Most Expensive New Listings

Which one of these pricey properties is not like the others? Hint: It’s easy to spot, because it’s the only home on our most expensive new listings of the week that isn’t in California.

The straggler doesn’t hail from usual suspects Florida or New York, either. Instead, it comes from one of the most unlikely states in the union: New Hampshire.

And this grand Granite State compound is actually selling at a steep discount. Previously listed for $49 million in 2014, it’s back on the market for just about half that price. If you’re into the idea of sumptuous summering on Lake Winnipesaukee, this just might be the “bargain” you’re looking for.

Back in California, the other new expensive listings include a $45 million mansion once dubbed a perfect 10, the former property of a president in the Palisades, and a remodeled Beverly Hills home that was the toast of society in the ’80s. Dig deep in your wallet and check ’em all out.

1. 72 Beverly Park, Beverly Hills, CA

Price: $45,000,000 ($2,250 per square foot)

The luxe factor: Once known as the “Perfect 10 Mansion,” this Beverly Hills manse was sold by Perfect 10 magazine founder Norm Zada for $16.5 million in December 2010. Back on the market six years later at nearly triple the price, this contemporary compound sits on nearly 7 acres of prime land.

2. 1669 San Onofre Dr, Pacific Palisades, CA

Price: $33,000,000 (price per square foot unknown)

The luxe factor: A proclamation about this former presidential property hitting the market went out in March, and now it’s here. Ronald and Nancy Reagan lived at this address, but their house rode off into the sunset three years ago. It’s been replaced by this “newly constructed compound with views from Griffith Park to Catalina.” Our favorite feature has to be the bathroom plaque commemorating the spot where Reagan received the news he’d been elected president in 1980.

3. 24860 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA

Price: $30,000,000 ($3,000 per square foot)

The luxe factor: Perched on a bluff overlooking the ocean, this mansion boasts a “100-foot grand hallway.” With spectacular views of the Pacific, an easy transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, and a resortlike pool area, this place is what California dreams are made of.

4. 142 and 144 Hopewell Rd, Alton, NH

Price: $25,800,000 ($409 per square foot)

The luxe factor: Combining two huge homes into one megalisting catapulted this compound on Lake Winnipesaukee into the realm of most expensive. Built by the Bahre family (founders of the New Hampshire Motor Speedway), this prestige property is back on the market for almost half of its list price—$49 million—in 2014. If you’re not ready to splurge on the whole package, each property can be purchased separately for $12.9 million. What a steal!

5. 1251 Tower Grove Dr, Beverly Hills, CA

Price: $19,950,000 (price per square foot unknown)

The luxe factor: Owned by Bill and Mignon W. Winans, this modern home designed by Bob Ray Offenhauser was a hub of social activity in the area in the ’70s and ’80s. Sold off by the family trust in 2014 for $6.4 million, the mansion with eye-popping views has undergone renovations over the past couple of years. Back on the market for triple the price paid, you can check Google Street View for a glimpse at the multiyear project. And if you’re into clothes, the master closet “designed with the distinct feel of a luxurious Rodeo Drive Boutique” is a must-see.
