- Today Architectural Digest brings you inside one of Los Angeles' most legendary properties, The Manor, currently on the market for $165 million. Built in the style of a French chateau by Hollywood impresario Aaron Spelling and family, the estate boasts 14 bedrooms and 27 baths across over 4 and half verdant acres - larger than either the White House or Taj Mahal.

Whoever "decorated" this estate did a great job, it really made me want to move in and change everything
😂😂
Right?? So underwhelming
😂😂😂😂
Stop it 😂😂😂😂😂
That's exactly how I felt 😊😂🤗 if only the interior(esp. Furniture and Choice of Color coordination) was done impeccably as that of the Magnitude of the House.
I like how their library doesn't try to overdo it with the books. Or nearly any books for that matter.
Probably because it's vacant and staged lol
no one who owns this house could ever be mistaken for being an intellectual
Why would there be books there when it is vacant and on the market? Not like the Spellings books and objects d’art were left there!
But it has the oxymoron of “Incredible scale and intimate space”
Because no one lives there currently 🤷🏽♂️
I love a home that feels like an empty, high-end mall.
Lies again? Thick Sperm Vigrx Plus
That would be the One that was going for half a $B
It didn’t look like that when Candy owned it…that little girl who brought it wasn’t worthy of this masterpiece. This was designed for a Family to entertain HOLLYWOOD and investors IN HOLLYWOOD ect. The little Heiress wanted PRIVACY…🤣🤣 so-called.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stop that.😂
Bless his heart. He's trying so hard to convince himself and others that this isn't completely awful.
what makes it awful?
bad taste, meaningless details, incoherence @@cathywhite6730
If you have to ask . . . @@cathywhite6730
I absolutely love the quaintness and small “intimate” feeling of this little cabin in the city.
😂😂
This intimate cottage
I’ve never understood why larger estates have such a random ratio of bathroom and bedrooms. Why does any house need 27 baths with 14 bedrooms
They’ll be half baths. When every room is the size of a multiplex cinema you need a lot of different toilets or it would take you half an hour to go to the bathroom…
@@itsthepens obviously they are half baths 🤣 they still don’t need 27 toilets tf.
Each bedroom has 2 people....each person needs a bathroom?...and one for the servants.
@@justayoutuber1906 ohhh well when you put it that way 🤔 makes sense
🤣😂😂
I have never seen such a gigantic library with that few books in my entire life !
i have more books lol
It's just staging.
Some of the house really gives off "big event" vibes. Like it's totally not intended for families to live, but instead to constantly rent it out to strangers. I mean I like how spacious this is, but it feels more like they turned large halls into a luxury places to sit and talk during big events. That's it. I can't even call it a home. It doesn't feel cozy at all. And why are there so many couches everywhere... This gives major "rich guy with zero taste who didn't know what to do with all that space"-vibes.
It would be great if transformed into a hotel or bed one breakfast lounge.
Absolutely
Absolutely, and even then - who designs a lux event space and makes EVERYTHING WHITE?!
Projects done on this large of a scale are rarely done tastefully and this home has failed to break that pattern
I think what ends up happening is they hire someone and the guy they hire is trying to make a profit if they put as many craftsman hours as they did in old houses it would cost twice or three times as much and the builder wouldn't make as much as a profit. Like look at the stair railing its so boring some old houses stair railing looks like a work of art that was made in france this one was made in texas and looks very basic.
More accurately...projects done on this large of a scale THESE DAYS are rarely done tastefully.
I have seen gilded age mansions...estates...and those were done to a completely different (higher) level. Even smaller estates, especially those that were built in the past, are much more "homely" than this behemoth.
I had thought that The Manor would be more like that, but I am disappointed that it is so "plain" in comparison to many luxury estates I have been in. Yes, it has space, and the land (location) is expensive, but I would have liked to see a lot more detail/craftsmanship...intricate wall panels, rich woods, gilded/coffered/tray/carved/barrel/groin ceilings, hand painted frescos...Anything that shows exquisite craftsmanship that leads to a sense of warmth and opulence.
It was the tacky 80’s chandeliers and hearts (wtf?) They cast a disagreeable hue on the entire property. Watch it again and pretend those are not there…You will be surprised at how relatively welcoming the rest of the space is. Especially the attic….
this isn't the original interior of the Spelling Manor. It was bought by a heiress when the Spelling family sold it in 2011
Its a nice house, failed is your house not that one in the vid lmao 😂
I will never understand rich people who have the money to build huge, beautiful closets and the best they can come up with is something that looks like a shop
What would you build then?
Something something capitalism etc?
❤️ 💙
At the end of the day, they're still rich and you aren't. So who is the clown here?
@@kaeez lol, why are you so butthurt and intent on defending people that you don't even know?
Thank you Architectural Digest, as an architectural designer, I took this as a lesson in how NOT to design a large house.
It's garish and below your usual standard.
Says a guy that designs ugly unlivable nightmares
I've had my eye on this property for quite some time. I plan on moving in right away and plan to stay for at least a year or until the new owner discovers that I am there.
A family home for generations…now on the market after just the one 😅
what do you mean?
@@asiac9317 I was only owned by one generation and Candy decided to sell it instead of keeping it in her family for generations
@@asiac9317 After her husband died, Candy Spellings sold it to Petra Ecclestone who sold it to someone else. A home for generations generally suggests that it would be in the SAME FAMILY for generations.
@@davidcattin7006 I am aware thanks.
Truth 😭
I once interviewed for a live-in position here. And I had my interview with Petra in the primary suite. It was absolutely crazy. The interview was actually really nice little conversation with the primaries who were really chill, but the whole attitude in the house from the other staff was just so scary. I was literally shoved into a closet by the maître d’, because he thought that one of the primaries might be walking down the hall at the same time and it would be rude to even be seen.
I’m sorry for my ignorance but, what is ‘primaries’ referring to? I can’t find it on google.
Are primaries the owners and their guests?
If you interviewed with Petra you were already with “the primary” considering she was the owner! 😂😂😂😂
Well, if you're going to be shoved into a closet, might as well be one that's a large as an entire apartment!
While I don’t think I would refer to this house as ever being visually on par with genuine châteaux built in centuries past, I still find it interesting to compare how it looked originally to how it looks now as it quickly becomes apparent that the designers in charge of each version had very different visions in mind: whereas the original attempted to artificially evoke feelings of old world grandeur, wealth, and respectability, the current iteration seeks to shed the idea of belonging to a long line supported by intergenerational wealth and instead seeks to appeal to the tastes of new-moneyed celebrities and influencers.
Geeeze what a mouthful of word salad
@@123pb - What? The comment said everything that needed to be said, without the use of unintelligible or confusing speech. It made perfect sense. I feel like either you don't actually know what "word salad" means, or your reading comprehension is poor.
Taj Mahal is not a world wonder, for its massive size. It's more of the beauty. So... Idk why AD felt the need to compare it here. I'd recommend Chitorgarh fort if you need size comparisons of old-world architecture in India.
It's just a play with words, a certain frame through which you can make something sound more appealing by making an (unrelated) association: the Taj Mahal is a world wonder and this is even bigger, therefore this is just as good if not better. And that's disregarding the absurdity that the Taj Mahal or the White House are famous for their size, which they're not.
It's just an empty claim, in this case to market this property.
Usne India ka naam kab liya ....?? Bewkuf 😡
Narrow minded
and it's story which that house does not have...
Oh my days stop with youre stupid irrelevant political bs of "taj mahal isnt the real wonder of the world" go visit indias "real" hindu heritage and temples .
I absolutely love AD, but I feel like more and more they are missing the mark lately. I think most of us are looking to experience beautifully curated houses, great design and inspirational homes. It seems like now they are showcasing homes with little character and featuring artists and celebrities that have no style or whatsoever.
Style and taste is subjective. Who are you to tell someone else that their taste is objectively wrong?
Amen.
@@GradietPanda12345 Maybe not "wrong" but definitely cookie-cutter / generic. I agree with that first comment 100%.
Yeah but this style is much better than the 8 minutes of 'this artist designed this' that we don't care about - just show the house.
@@GradietPanda12345 I'll do it
I really HATE when they show these AMAZING properties and DON"T show the garage area. You know these people have fleets of cars and it would be great to see where they keep them
They also seem to have an aversion about showing the actual WC fixture(s). Maybe they assume a buyer would change all that.
This is Architectural Digest, not the real estate company luring buyers, uploading this video..different priorities. Thus why he focused on history and design.
I love the library being described as “intimate” 😋
“The Manor was built in the style of a French château, with many details from that period” what is that even supposed to mean??? ‘French château’ is not a period lol And this house looks nothing like a French château at all. As someone stated in previous comment, this is AT MOST “châteauesque” (I would even say châteauesque-Y)
Agreed… but it still looks good! 😉
looks like a fancy funeral home
You get what they meant though so why so boujee? Lmao
Yeah I agree with you as well. This gentleman, you could tell, was not confident in his speaking abilities or not very prepared in memorizing his script, I’m unsure of which.
Americans….
That "library" had about eight books and two bookshelves of space
And nothing quite says "library" like a built in bar... For that price, I want a flippin' Barnes and Noble amount of books.
@@mekkio77 If you can afford "that price" you can have a whole Barnes and Noble delivered! ;o)
They rebranded it as a library for whatever reason ..it was originally Aaron's office and in knowing that it makes more sense.
Renovations of The Manor were done shortly after Petra Ecclestone purchased the estate (if memory serves me right).
Originally, The Manor's interior looked entirely different. Candy Spelling (wife of Aaron Spelling) explained more about the primary heart and soul of the estate in a video a few years ago.
Y’all it’s on the market. It’s just staging. And that’s a huge house to stage. I think it’s amazing!
Is it not weird to have a "library" with like 12 books in it?
Library (without books) designed to entertain….
Oh so, not a library then
The other rooms had 0, does that make it a library?
@@JF-gy7tt dont forget its also an office
It's vacant and staged, you know?
@@burtonsnow845 Yeah that's not how you stage a library lol
The inside looked WAY better when the Spellings owned it. It actually matched the theme, architecture, and aesthetic of the home.
I was thinking of trying to find video/photos of when they owned it, cuz I can't imagine it would have been as boring as it is now...
fr bro, I remember seeing this on the TV when I was littler cuz me and my mom would watch this every now and then just to see how cool the houses were.
@@WadeMcLuresearch up Selling Candy Spelling Manor & you’ll discover a 2 part documentary from the 2010s showing Candy selling the estate, the resolution may be low but it’s everything you’ve ever imagined & more.
Agree
I totally agree
The Manor is amazing. I still find it humorous the he never could get a membership the Los Angeles Country Club even though he lived on it. I am glad he built it so I could look at it.
Hi I'm enjoying the tour of this beautiful home and I love the size and the inside it's a wonderful place for my family.
Mansions shouldn’t look like they were designed with resale as a top priority.
None of the details and amenities are any more unique than what you’d find in a suburban Minnesota $2million home. The house just has more of them, in larger sizes, in oversized roomed. The style and color palette are as generic as it gets. The only room that has any character is the barbershop , but even that is a bland facade plastered over an oversized, mostly empty room. And they hid it away in the attic.
Welcome to the USA
@@googlebox oh yes, so true!
it's a big mcmansion
Yessss. Those 4 gold side tables in the Main Livingroom were straight from Wayfair...and the accessories on the Library shelves were from Homegoods. Never let that happen again.
toBornottoB think that’s just the staging
I'm just looking at it and think "who on earth would need such a house.." we live in a strange world.
…….Welcome to Los Angeles.
I thought that too. 😖
I wonder how many years they actually lived in it. Seems pointless to me.
No one reason its still on the market.
For big business people, they need space for themselves, friends, servants, chefs, stylists, makeup artist etc.
Superb Well Illustrated Video . Merci
This video really ought to be way longer, because it's so big and expansive!
French Chateau isn't a period, though Châteauesque is a style. It's Architectural Digest, we expect more.
He didn't say it was a period tho?
Same I was like 👀
@@sandman__1295 he did actually.
It’s not that serious
@@omm8701 it actually is, doesn't matter if you're even watching this for entertainment, they are a very well known architectural magazine, and as such, they should be more careful with details like this.
Love the more toned-down style of the broker. They're usually all hysterically screaming superlatives at you in these videos, nice to see a person speaking in a normal voice.
Agree, but it looked like he could barely choke down any more of the spiel by the end of it. Either that or he could barely keep from laughing.
@@davidcattin7006 yeah, he’s like “500 tons of steel 🤢” I’m feeling him
He sounds like he's struggling to find nice things to say about the place, and I totally feel him. 😂
I came to say this. He came across very likeable!
I remember watching an interview in the 90s with the cast of Beverly Hills 90210, they mention going over to The Manor and having parties and bowling at the bowling alley inside the house.
My attention goes directly to the design of the handrails on the stairs and I like it with the white staircase. The oval on the ceiling is very different for me plus there seems to be a mirror before the molding. I see this bathtub is similar to the modern bath tub look I like in white. This bathtub sits flat on the floor instead of legs. With a mansion this big a utility or modern industrial aesthetic makes sense to me. I see this movie theater is fancy with its capacity for a lot of movie chairs including couches to lay down vertically.
As beautiful as it looks on the outside, it looks like a french château gone wrong on the inside to me, really cold and impersonal
i cannot fathom how real people have real money that can afford something like this. absolutely mind blowing
Most who can obtain things like this are satans people
The light tho. The light is the most beautiful thing in the house. It would be lovely to see the interior light just as dusk settles outdoors.
Now this is beautiful! I love a house with space!!!
As a french everything that AD calls "french" - don't look french at all, sounds like some marketing thing to make you pay x10 the price
Okay, I'll admit the barbershop in the middle of the attic is kind of great. Hilarious, and more character than the rest of the house.
it gave me business class on the titanic vibes. Like this is your space, don't come down to the normal floors where the rich people are
I know the roof leaked because I know the company that had to fix it.
The attic part was pretty cool: I liked the random small barber shop up there.
This is the house that I have as my wallpaper. I have a dream I was living in that house and I loved it 110 percent. One day just maybe I’ll get a house like that
If I were a billionaire I would buy The Manor. I like the look much more than the mid-century moderns that you see all over LA. The Razor House is an exception - I do love that home (supposedly the inspiration for Tony Stark's place) and if it were in Bel Aire or Holmsby instead of near San Diego it would rival the price of The Manor - but The Manor is my favorite.
@@jamesrawlins735 you can get this house if you are just a millionaire bc its only $165m
I like how he says, “all of this is on the market for 165 million”, like he was presenting the steal of the decade. 😅😭😂 #OneDay
I prefer houses that connect more with the exterior, with nature, not even one window was shown open to see the views, I feel this house was design just to impress others, definitely lacks the warmth I expect a home should have...
IKR? For the number (I lost count) of "French doors opening to the outside" you never got to see any of them open. And that sun room had so much furniture in it you couldn't even get to the French doors!
So don’t buy it
This isn't a home though
@@davidcattin7006 you could get to the French doors
nice presentation and matching commentary. enjoyed......
This is probably my most favorite house in the world. If I had the money, I will definitely buy it
When he showed the sitting room for the primary bedroom I thought 'lol imagine if the bathroom also had a sitting room', then 30 seconds later he literally takes us to the sitting room of the secondary bathroom😆😂
😂
As a french man I can promise you there is NOTHING french is that house.
We have MUCH MORE taste.
8:20 isn't that pool area more Italian than French as well?
Kudos Candy. You DID that.❤🎉😊
The sunroom is the most beautiful part! 😍
Literally walked past this house today. It’s huge and stunning on the outside. Right next to Holmby Park.
There are no words to describe this masterpiece. One thing was shocking: library has no books 🤔
Because they only sell the mansion not books.
Nice I recently just watch the documentary of this home “Selling Spelling Manor”😅 nice to see in HD quality too
This manor reminds me so much of the one in the series Dynasty.
Imagine having to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and you have to trek through a two story closet to find the toilet haha. Seriously gorgeous mansion though!
Here is my library, where I keep vases and upright plates! 🤣
I love the library!! It would be awesome to stock the shelves with my books!! 😊😁
Incredibly incredible
Imagine losing your cellphone. Now where did I leave that damn thing.
you would have enough staff to search for it
I have to make a choice and i choose to let youtube go. I wont do vlogs theres no point if choose to make website if i couldnt sell my curriculum.
@@vocaloid444 Way to post something completely off topic. I think you missed the point. I was trying to be funny.
I remember the lore of this house when I was growing up - Thinking “I wanted a gift wrapping room!”
Yep, the 1999 guinness book of world records description...
Don't forget the "Flower Cutting Room" - and there were even plans for a zoo, but by the time the house was almost finished Torrie had really outgrown wanting a zoo.
Breathtaking 😍
1 word... Magnificent ☀️
3:58 "Walls for art.." as opposed to normal, peasant walls on which no art can be hung, of course
It's gorgeous, but there is no reason for anyone to own a house this large. I mean, what a waste of space. Unless you have multiple families living in it, or you have 12 kids, it's just a waste.
They're not for families to live, they're for parties, large gatherings, large getaways.
I know a very good reason why somone would have something like this. Because they can and because they want to
I dont like this house, i think for 160 million, you could do soo much better, but thats me and it aint my money
Good thing you can’t afford it
This home is in Los Angeles…….enough said.
True
Thank you manager ❤😂😊🎉
It keeps on coming back in the market!
The house has lost any French charm it may have had during the Spellings reign. Now it just looks like an over-sized copy of all the other mansions in Los Angeles.
For real, there is no charm in this house anymore. Someone else needs to take it over and put some personality in it.
Such a pity the interiors were turned into the tacky 2016 Glam-fluencer design style after it was purchased by Petra Ecclestone lol
oh yeah
I love this style!!
I Just Love 💕😘 The neutral color coordination.
I would be so lost in that house lol insane homes like this exist when so many are homeless.
It’s not necessary a “home” in the traditional sense.. it’s a Hollywood stage to entertain, do business and write off business expense..with a few bedrooms as an after thought..
I needed more footage of that attic. That was, by far, my favorite part of this house.
Amazing job the house is beautiful
Very cool visit tanks.
“The manor was built on the former estate of Bing Crosby, they tore the house down-“ excuse me WHAT
…..The city of Beverly Hills was mortified that the Crosby estate (and 3 other surrounding properties) was torn down.
The only thing I remember about this Aaron and Candy Spelling giga-mansion, which is what it was called back in the late 80s, when it was first being built, is Candy wanting partway through construction, the foundation lowered so she would not have to gaze upon the sign on the Beverly Hills Robinson’s department store from her bedroom window. An often denied rumor.
respectfully loving this Manor
i'd understand if it's for hosting parties but I honestly cannot imagine living in such a large space. I mean this both as a compliment and an inconvinience-- I think i'd lose my mind in a space this large. I know the way to go is usually to have a ground keeper/ several maids but if you're someone who prefer to take care of their own stuff, this would nightmarish
Can you imagine how long it would take to vacuum and mop . Then the utilities…I’m getting anxiety 😟
@@gina.siganoff Lol..One of the original owner, Candy Spelling lived there alone for a few years after her husband's death before selling it to Petra Ecclestone in 2011.
@@gina.siganoff It took around 50 servants to maintain the house and grounds.
I drive by this house frequently. It's not far from where the Playboy Mansion used to be. The Manor is next door to a public park, and is absolutely huge. It's crazy to think that this is going for more than what "The One" sold for, despite "The One" having amazing views, and even more amenities and features.
“The One” doesn’t have 4.7 acres
One is garbage. Even the builder went crazy & bankrupt.
this is something if i had $500M I would still buy it. what a piece of art
This is incredible
This building is to a French chateau what a drag performer is to Marie Antoinette at a French themed party. It's louder, gaudier, bigger, and entirely more absurd than its "inspiration" ever was.
It's also so discordant. Take the solarium, which is amongst the nicer parts. Walls and windows are nice. Then you look at that modern ceiling with can lights and the whole thing collapses. The building doesn't quite know what it wants to be, other than entirely too much.
Library has everything except books. Love the vanity.
Just awesome!!
Really it's so beautiful we want to see a similar house in London
"A family home"...with 14 bedrooms and 27 bathrooms? I guess you could go on for a week without seeing a (specific) family member.
This could be used for a gifted orphanage program . Or even turned into a X-men house 😂
It would be a perfect rescue mission for rehabilitating LA's homeless population and in turn rehabilitate Candy Spelling's reputation of being a classless broad.
the bowling alley did it for me 😮🤯
Insane how something so pretty can be so soulless
The architecture is nice but the actual styling and interior design is atrocious. The furniture takes a classic looking house and makes it tacky.
While having been built with the best and most expensive materials, I am perplexed as to why nobody stays in it for generations as Candie/Candy Spelling intended. It is cold and impersonal; nothing feels cozy or homey inside. Several rooms come close like the suite of rooms the Spellings lived in that was separate from the rest of estate.
It’s because the previous owner said it’s haunted.. they moved out
Good job presenting.
Absolutely Gorgeous Home.
Best of luck to you in the future.
Thank You,
Natasha Samuel
The best part about this estate is the backyard with the pond and land that it gets you in LA and they didn’t even really show that. Plus this house has a modern design interior that feels dated. Would’ve preferred it to be really traditional or to be up to date in term of the interior furniture and finishes.
looks like 1980s inside
I want to see more of it! The grounds and garages, lol. It's very incredible. I remember seeing when Candy showed it on TV, years ago, on HGTV I think.
When Candy owned it it looked like a place for royalty. The inside reflected the outside. Now it’s been stripped of all the beautiful chandeliers and fireplaces All the wall sconces were from Europe. She took over 7 years Into building and designing each room. Petra brought a huge team in and it took 60 days. That about sums of what we see today.
Yep it was and damn has it changed for the better.. I hate Candy spellings taste.. Old fashioned and horrific wallpaper
I loved how the library didn’t have an library features
Beautiful!!
This house is beyond beautiful both in its current state and its former look. I've been obsessed with this house for years, we finally get to see new parts of the house and rooms never shown before.
Though it's a shame what they have done in the library to the (I believe) oak panels ...
This is not a house though, it's a hotel. 14 bathrooms? Are you kidding me? There's an off chance that they've all been use at once, but mostly it's just gluttony. You're insane when you buy this.
