At 29,000 square toes, the key home on the house is rife with about-the-leading amenities like a two-tale library, an Art Deco nightclub, a screening room, two separate flats for personnel or company, a five-bedroom gate house, an Olympic-measurement swimming pool, and a tennis court.

These opulent features could explain why the property has attracted so several notable persons more than the years. John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy used their honeymoon at the household. A long time later, scenes of strike movies The Godfather and The Bodyguard have been filmed on the premises. In 2019, Adele held her 31st birthday party listed here. And just previous yr, Beyoncé filmed element of her groundbreaking visible album Black Is King on the grounds. 

This is not the 1st time the home has been up for sale. It arrived to sector as part of a bankruptcy case, and had been on and off the industry even prior to that. In 2016, it was stated for a staggering $195 million.
