$60 Million Mansion on Billionaire’s Row Comes With 12-Car Gallery, Dinosaur

The latest in real estate for billionaires is offering mega-mansions that are a cut above the rest. And no one does that better than architect Paul McClean.

The name Paul McClean might not ring a bell, but we’ve featured another of his famous designs here: the Opus, the $100 million Beverly Hills mansion that came with a gold Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce in the massive auto gallery. This one is cheaper and less impressive from an automotive perspective, but still worth a look.

Situated at 1175 Billionaire’s Row, the unofficial name of the Trousdale area in Beverly Hills, this monster of a mansion comes with every luxury amenity you could ever dream of, so as to make you not want to ever go out. These include two large pools, an indoor waterfall, a spa and gym, wine cellar, movie theater, a dinosaur skeleton and a 12-car auto gallery.

Listed with Williams & Williams for $60 million, this mansion is described as the perfect family home. If you don’t mind kids running all over your fancy rugs and getting crayons on your Italian marble, or even knocking down that skeleton piece of art.

All jokes aside, this mega-mansion is part of the current trend of offering all-inclusive retreats, with a little something for every taste. The 12-car auto gallery, which, as far as we can tell, doesn’t come with any of the cars pictured in the listing (unlike the above-mentioned Opus), should speak to car enthusiasts. The space offers plenty of options in terms of future uses: it could be used as a garage or turned into a display area for your classic car collection, or could even be turned into an entirely different thing, like a venue for festivities of all kinds.

When you’re not down there tinkering on your prized wheels, you could be chilling by either pool: the mansion comes with a large outdoor infinity pool (with jacuzzi and open firepit right next to it) and an indoor lap pool fed by a waterfall. McClean loves to create water structures and to reinvent space so as to erase the boundaries between the outdoor and the indoor.

Most walls on the mansion double as windows and open at the click of a button. This way, and by creating bridges instead of hallways, McClean is able to bring the outdoor inside with a simple touch: just open the windows and you’re more or less outside, as the agent from Williams & Williams explains in the walkthrough video available at the bottom of the page.

Everything in the house is centered around these two pools. The master bedroom is right by the infinity pool, while all guest bedrooms (six in total) have direct access to the lap pool. There are two kitchens (a family one and a chef’s kitchen), three bars (priorities, right?), a temperature-controlled, from-farm-to-table pantry, a beauty salon for mani-pedis and blowouts, a fully-equipped gym, a spa with sauna, cold and hot plunge and shower, and a billiards room. The movie theater can seat up to 18 people and, right next to it, a temperature-controlled 1,000-bottle wine cellar with tasting room.

The dinosaur skeleton is also on this bottom level. It is life-size but, contrary to reports from a few years ago, it is not the real thing: it’s a work of art. The same agent in the video below tries to push the family home angle by saying kids simply love this dino. As if they would ever be allowed near it for fear of bringing it down.

The mansion is massive, with a total of 21,000 square feet (1,950 square meters) of total living space, seven bedrooms and eleven baths. All bedrooms have en-suites, and the master comes with his and hers closets and his and hers bathrooms finished in the most elegant Italian marble.

“The most spectacular and luxurious organic modern home ever constructed, in the prestigious Trousdale neighborhood of Beverly Hills,” the listing reads. “This modern Shangri-La features only the most top of the line amenities in the world including two luxurious pools, two gourmet kitchens, walk-in temperature controlled pantry, an oversized theater, wine cellar, billiards room, car museum and mind blowing audio/visuals.”

These are big words, but the mansion lives up to the hype. Photos in the gallery above might not do it justice, but the video is better able to show off this opulent, massive, gorgeous mansion. At $60 million asking price, it’d better be all that – and some.
