In Bel-Air, a mega-mansion with a sub-zero vodka room seeks $139 million
Jack FlemmingIn 2014,
doctorDr. Joseph Englanoff paid $5 million for an empty plot of land in the hills of Bel-Air. He spent the next seven years crafting an amenity-loaded mega-mansion on the property, and the home has finally surfaced for sale at $139 million.
If he gets his price, it will be Bel-Airs second-priciest home sale ever. The record was set in 2019 when Lachlan Murdoch paid $150 million for the famed Beverly Hillbillies mansion.
The $139-million tag also makes it the third-priciest home currently on the market in L.A. County.
Ironically,Coincidentally, the top spot belongs to The One, another Bel-Air mega-mansion listed for $295 million thats set to be auctioned off due to foreclosure if it cant find a buyer soon. Englanoff, who doubles as a real estate investor, is a lender on that property, and hes owed about $36 million.
While most Bel-Air mansions come with a laundry list of amenities, Englanoffs latest creation, called La Fin, brings new meaning to the word.
