Hollywood A-lister Mark Wahlberg has sold his 30,500-square-foot mansion in Beverly Park for $55 million, which amounts to $32.5 million less than he sought last spring.
Wahlberg and his wife, Rhea Durham, sold the 12-bedroom, 20-bathroom chateau-style spread at 71 Beverly Park, the Wall Street Journal reported. The buyer was undisclosed.
The “Boogie Nights” star and the fashion model bought the 6.2-acre property for $8.25 million in 2009, and built the mega-compound in 2014.
The couple first listed the property for $87.5 million in April 2022, then dropped the price to $79.5 million in November.
Set within the exclusive gated community in the hills close to Mulholland Drive, the Richard Landry-designed estate consists of a main house, guesthouse, poolside cabana and viewing pavilion.
The Beverly Hills Post Office compound also includes a full-size tennis court, five-hole golf course and its own skate park. A motor court wraps around a grassy island and fountain.
The formal mansion has a two-story foyer, which features an elaborate double staircase. It has limestone floors, an elegant living room flanked by two fireplaces, and six sets of French doors. A separate formal dining room has a crystal chandelier, patterned wallpaper and another fireplace.
A wood-paneled library, which stands two stories tall, offers a marble fireplace of its own. There’s another fireplace, one of at least seven in the main house, in the family room, which adjoins the main kitchen and two marble-topped islands.
Highlights include a glass-walled gym, wine cellar with tasting room, movie theater for 15 guests and several wet bars.
Outside, a vast glade and grotto-style pool with waterfalls are surrounded by formal gardens and trees.
The Wahlberg estate was among the biggest in Beverly Park, which includes the residences of such celebrities as Sofia Vergara, Justin Bieber, Denzel Washington, Rod Stewart, Eddie Murphy, The Rock and Magic Johnson.
In March 2022, billionaire Alec Gores sold his 31,000-square-foot chateau in Beverly Park for $70 million. In January, Adele bought a Beverly Park estate from Sylvester Stallone for $58 million.
