Joyce Rey and Stephen Apelian, Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialists affiliated with the Beverly Hills office of Coldwell Banker Realty, have listed the sprawling compound of Director Taylor Hackford and Actor Helen Mirren for $18,500,000 or $45,000 per month lease. Located in Los Angeles, the approximately 10,200-square-foot residence has nine bedrooms, five of which are in the main house and three in the guest cottage, and 10 bathrooms.
“A residence of exquisite style and exceptional privacy, this remarkable compound abuts Runyan Canyon at the top of a private winding drive with gorgeous landscaping, mature trees and Hollywood sophistication,” said Rey. “With its celebrity pedigree, expansive grounds and gracious indoor-outdoor design, this gated enclave is both a private sanctuary and a distinguished setting for lavish entertaining.”
Since its construction in 1911, the property has had only four owners. The first was Dustin Farnum, often known as Hollywood's first movie star, who starred in Cecil B. DeMille's "Squaw Man," which was the first feature film shot in Hollywood. Next was journalist, columnist, and film producer Mark Hellinger, whose short story gave rise to "The Roaring Twenties," starring Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney. After Farnum came Gail Patrick who had a very successful acting career and was executive producer of the “Perry Mason” series. Patrick was one of the first and most successful female producers in Hollywood. The fourth and current owners, Director Taylor Hackford and Actor Helen Mirren complete the illustrious line of Hollywood dignitaries who have owned this fabulous residence. On approximately 6.5 acres, the spacious and elegant main residence has a swimming pool and wide terrace for lounging, dining and entertaining. Separate from the main home, there is a three-bedroom guest house and five-car garage with an office and loft-style apartment above.
“With gorgeous city lights views, manicured gardens and beautifully detailed interiors, this estate offers unique comfort and refinement,” said Apelian.
