History

The Mon Rêve estate originally stood at 301 North Carolwood Drive, once owned by celebrity Barbra Streisand. [2] [3] [1] When Streisand owned the property it featured a 9,500 square foot home with five bedrooms and seven baths. The walled and gated Mediterranean-style home featured a pool, two-story living room, sunrooms, library and screening room. Streisand had decorated the interior with her Art Nouveau collection. [4]

The home was sold to music executive Les Bider in 2000 and demolished shortly thereafter. [5] The vacant lot was listed at US $13,995,000 by Linda May Properties, purchased in 2014 by David Bohnett for US $13.25 million. [2] [3] [5] Bohnett used the land as his own personal park before selling it to Dream Projects LA and developer Gala Asher. [5] [6]

The current home was completed in 2016 and listed at US $150 million on April 12, 2016, the second most expensive residence for sale in the United States at the time. [2] [7] [8] It was purchased in 2016 by billionaire Tom Gores, owner of the Detroit Pistons, in a US $100 million transaction in which several properties changed hands. [6] [7]

Description

The main house contains 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2) including 10 bedrooms and 20 bathrooms. [2] The master bedroom occupies 5,300 square feet (490 m2) and opens to a heated covered patio. [2] Paying homage to the history of the property, Club Mon Rêve is an entertainment facility within the house that includes a wine room, a lounge, and a movie theater complex with a separate valet entrance for guests.

The Carolwood Pacific Railroad (CPRR) was a 7+1⁄4-inch gauge ridable miniature railroad run by Walt Disney in the backyard of his home in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. It featured the Lilly Belle, a 1:8-scale live steam locomotive named after Disney's wife, Lillian Disney, and built by the Walt Disney Studios' machine shop. The locomotive made its first test run on December 24, 1949. It pulled a set of freight cars, as well as a caboose that was almost entirely built by Disney himself. It was Disney's lifelong fascination with trains, as well as his interest in miniature models, that led to the creation of the CPRR. The railroad, which became operational in 1950, was 2,615 feet (797 m) long and encircled his house. The backyard railroad attracted visitors to Disney's home; he invited them to ride and occasionally drive his miniature train. In 1953, after an accident occurred in which a guest was injured, the CPRR was closed to the public.
