Zsa Zsa Gabor & Elvis Presley Both Lived In This Luxury Estate
It is a truly historic occasion when Zsa Zsa Gabor, Elvis Presley and, a party with The Beatles – one of the most storied celebrity luxury homes in America is for sale at $23.45 million. And what makes this luxury estate even more incredible is this Bel Air home was built in 1955 by eccentric playboy, wealthy businessman and aviator Howard Hughes!
Howard Hughes was also a romantic friend of Ava Gardner, Katharine Hepburn and several more Hollywood stars – wow, talk about making the rounds!
It was later Elvis Presley entertained The Beatles there in 1965.
Zsa Zsa Gabor bought it in 1974 and stayed until she sadly she died in 2016.
A roundup of impressive celebrity guests who have visited the property includes Queen Elizabeth, Ronald Reagan, Elizabeth Taylor and Frank Sinatra.

This luxury estate is well-known in the film industry too as it was the location for the movies Behind the Candelabra, starring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, and in the Oscar-winning film Argo, starring Ben Affleck.
Below, you can see the epic foyer and how it suits the celebrity luxury lifestyle. This luxury estate is truly a historic home and will be cherished by so many of their fans.
Zsa Zsa was on her sixth of nine husbands when she purchased the house, married to Jack Ryan, the creator of the Barbie doll, Hot Wheels, and Chatty Cathy. They were divorced two years later, but as Zsa Zsa was fond of saying, “I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house.” What an epic quote from the queen celeb herself.
Zsa Zsa Gabor continued to live in the house for 40 years and three more husbands. She decorated it lavishly from the era and place in history to which she felt most connected, the French Court of Louis XV, with touches of gold leaf, elegant furnishings, and her ultra-feminine dressing table.
When Zsa Zsa died, so did part of the legendary Old Hollywood glamor.
This luxury estate sits on over an acre, it is now being offered with two options. The first with approved permits and plans from the award-winning architectural firm Harrison Design to construct a new 24,000-square-foot, two-story residence including a 4,100-square-foot garage as well as a pool and covered loggias.
The plans for the new residence feature an open-plan living/dining room, study, grand circular staircase, family room and the kitchen with two islands and a butler’s pantry completing the first floor.
The second-floor plans include a master suite with a sitting room and adjoining covered terrace, his-and-her baths, his-and-her closets plus four ensuite bedrooms and a playroom.
The lower level offers a recreational room with a bar, a screening room, a gym and a steam room. The plans for the new residence offer seven bedrooms and 10 baths.
For those who want to preserve the feel and actual touch of this historic home where celebrities roamed and famous movies were made, the second option offers the opportunity for remodeling and updating the existing Hollywood Regency-style home while preserving most of the home’s elegant attributes.
The current residence features spacious rooms with high ceilings, the main level that opens into a circular foyer to a grand living room, formal dining room, six bedrooms including a master suite with a two-room closet, seven bathrooms, office, breakfast room, and chef’s kitchen with a butler’s pantry.
