The actress and singer Cherilyn Sarkisian, worldwide known as Cher, is an American television celebrity who is crowned as the “Goddess of Pop” thanks to her great career, her almighty yet beautiful voice. The purchasing power of these famous artists allows them to buy and sell mansions anywhere in the world without any limitations, such as the mansion that the singer Cher is dealing in front of the cliffs on the shores of Malibu.
Hence, the legendary Oscar winner is placing a price tag of 85 million dollars for this gorgeous California mansion which has been among the singer’s properties since 1989 when she bought it for as “low” as $3 million. To add capital gain to the mansion, for a facade it underwent into renovations to satisfy personal tastes and adapt it to individual requirements of The Goddess. The renovations and decoration was in char of the distinguished designer Ron Wilson and came into reality by famous interior designer Wallace Tutt III (who passed in 2010).
85 million dollars for Cher’s Malibu mansion
24-hour surveillance and dimensions that extend across nearly 75,347 sq ft (0.7 ha) make this kind of estate a property with great privacy, and where one of its most striking features is the large arched windows and doors. The view of the coastline is breathtaking and wide, reaching from Catalina Island and Santa Monica to Point Dume.
It should be noted that this is not the first time the famous singer Cher has tried to sell this property. The house’s dimensions and price can make the negotiation uphill and would require a multimillionaire with a large wallet to make an actual offer. The mansion is described as one of the most visually stunning residential complexes in the area, both in size and beauty, and is undoubtedly symbolic of this specific California location.
A decade ago, it was put up for sale: at that time, the larger offer was $45 millions, but it failed to attract any determined buyers. The home’s main living room achieves an incredible and almost fanciful 32,291 sq ft (3,000 m²) and has once again been renovated with the magic of interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard who has managed to maximize its amenities to include an infinity pool, a fully independent guesthouse and a tennis court.
Breathtaking views of Santa Monica and Malibu
The Moorish style is predominant in the house’s facade, and its spacious rooms are fully decorated with limestone and marble that came all the way from France and Italy. In addition to a fence made from 18th-century Venetian marble, the handmade bronze forged doors are striking and include tiles and ironwork of both Spanish and Moroccan origin. At first, a glance can give you a small idea of the quality of every corner of this construction and the reason for its exorbitant price.
In general, the mansion is a perfect mixture of styles where Indian carvings and exotic dyes predominate, giving an ambience and inclination to many spaces of this beautiful house. Concerning the kitchen, this is not far behind and can offer a perfect environment for the tasting and preparing of gourmet meals, where the equipment is luxurious and, of course, custom-made.
The main bedroom is capable of housing a pair of closets and a living room, as well as doors studded in bronze and made of walnut wood; the security of the house has been thought out down to the smallest detail one of the closets functions as a safe room “panic room”. At the same time, the Turkish hammam inspires the luxurious bathroom.
A house of overwhelming dimensions that can satisfy the most exuberant fantasies that money can offer. At the same time, we hope that the singer can find a buyer for this building, which also has an indoor gymnasium and a specially designed room for the singer’s wigs The wigs are kept in the best conditions thanks to automated “climate control” temperature management system so that the more than one hundred wigs can be held in the best conditions.
The staggering house is facing to the ocean, and it’s hundreds of feet far away from the noisy, always busy, Pacific Coast Highway, which will give the next owner total privacy and peace: the only noise to worry about is the ocean, and that is not a sound that will bother anyone in the world. Is it?
Supposing that you have the money to purchase this gorgeous property, you will also have the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in front of your main gate. This park has great natural paths for a nice walk before sunset, and you are just 30 miles (48.28 km) away from Malibu downtown, or 48 miles (77.25 km) from Santa Monica: halfway from two of the greatest cities in the West Coast but also in the middle of nothing. Nobody will ever bother you.
