Elizabeth Taylor’s home has been sold.
The Oscar-winning actress passed away from congestive heart failure in March of 2011 and by mid-May her Bel Air estate was put on the market. The listing price was set at $8,600,000. After being on the market for 33 days it was sold and the final purchase price is undisclosed, for now.
Sitting on 1.27 acres the home is 7,000 square feet, 6 bedrooms, and is a ranch-style house. The property previously owned by singer Nancy Sinatra features a swimming pool with spa, English rose garden, a koi pond, maid’s quarters, a downstairs master suite, a second master suite upstairs with treetop views, and the list goes on and on.
Before Elizabeth Taylor’s passing she owned and lived in the home for 30 years, she bought it in 1981. Elizabeth’s son Christopher Wilding previously said of the property: “The house was where we all gathered, especially at Thanksgiving and Easter. She never entertained the notion of moving.”
The new owner is businessman Rocky Malhotra. Although the Malhotra family is not a household name here in the states he is definitely fond of our houses. Apparently he has snatched up three pricey homes in Bel Air, including Elizabeth Taylor’s. He is chairman of SuperMax World, an India-based company that manufactures and sells household items like, razor blades, shaving products and home manicure sets.
It is reported that Mister Malhotra plans to maintain the house much as the Tinseltwon legend left it and perhaps lease it out.
John is the Vice President here at JohnHart, and as such is responsible for managing and directing the firm towards obtaining its ultimate goals.
He is also one of our main contributors on the Blog. (please see his profile page on the main site for more information.)
