A Rare Look Inside a $75 Million Tag Front-Designed Masterpiece in Bel Air

by Alyson Pitarre

Listing agent Florence Mattar of Coldwell Banker Realty in Beverly Hills calls it “an unprecedented, unparalleled estate of unmatched beauty and elegance.” One peek inside the breathtaking and groundbreaking $75 million Bel Air mansion, which debuted on the market back in May, and it is immediately clear why Mattar opted for such a glowing description of the property.

Beginning with the views: a sweeping panorama takes in the ocean, Catalina Island, a twinkling array of city lights and the distinctive white profile of the Getty Center.

Architecture by Tag Front celebrates the organic modernist aesthetic for which the L.A.-based firm is known. Indoor-outdoor living mixes with refined textural and sculptural details throughout its 20,000 square feet. Walls of glass vanish entirely to allow seamless flow between gracious rooms with nine-foot ceilings and the adjoining wraparound patios, lawns, and gardens suitable for entertaining on a grand scale. It’s the perfect setting for displaying art – and there is already plenty of it throughout the residence. “Prepare to be captivated,” says Mattar.

Gated and private, the nine-bedroom residence is surrounded by majestic landscaping on a 1.1-plus acre lot. Curated materials – Portuguese limestone, Calcutta marble, fine millwork – set a sophisticated stage for the most luxurious appointments – an Italian kitchen, a 20-seat theater, a wine room, a tranquil spa, a gym, an elevator and a fully-equipped caterer’s kitchen with a dumbwaiter.

The grounds match the home for beauty, serenity and resort-style amenities, with an ocean-view, infinity-edge curved pool with a Baja shelf and curved pool deck, a lighted grass tennis and sport court, a reflecting pool, an outdoor living room and a lovely dining pavilion.
