A luxurious Los Angeles megamansion known as Casa Encantada has returned to the market with a significant price increase. The 60-room, 40,000-square-foot estate in Bel-Air is now asking $175 million, up from its November listing price of $165 million.
Built in 1937 by architect James E. Dolena for Hilda Weber, the widow of a multimillionaire glass manufacturer, Casa Encantada boasts seven bedrooms, 20 bathrooms, and expansive grounds featuring a tennis court, pool, and botanical gardens. The property spans over 8.4 acres above Bel-Air Country Club.
Casa Encantada has a rich history, having been sold by notable owners including billionaire Gary Winnick, who purchased the estate for $94 million in 2000. The current listing price marks a significant increase from its original asking price of $250 million, making it one of the most expensive homes for sale in the US.
The mansion’s value is not only driven by its luxurious features but also its historical significance. Listing agent Josh Flagg notes that Casa Encantada is “one of the most important houses in the United States.” The property’s high price tag is a testament to its status as a rare and exclusive luxury real estate gem.
