The Manor (Los Angeles)

The Manor (also known as Spelling Manor and Candyland) is a mansion on Mapleton Drive in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, across the street from Holmby Park and bordering the Los Angeles Country Club. Aaron Spelling (the television producer of series including Dynasty, Charlie's Angels, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, 7th Heaven, Melrose Place, Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed) built it as his private residence. Designed by architects James Langenheim & Associates, the property's construction was overseen by Spelling's wife Candy and it was finished in 1988 for $12 million. The Manor is the second largest house by official living space in the Los Angeles metropolitan area; the mansion is also bigger than both the White House and the Taj Mahal. After Aaron's death, the property was subsequently owned by British heiress Petra Ecclestone, daughter of Formula One racing magnate Bernie Ecclestone. Ecclestone purchased the home in 2011 for $85 million after it had been on the market for two years with an asking price of $150 million, making it the most expensive residential real estate listing at the time. In June 2019, it was sold for $119.7 million, a new record in California history. It would later be sold again in August 2025 for $110 million, which was lower than the asking price of $137.5 million.
