Erewhon Owners’ Bel Air Mansion Sells for $29 Million

Entrepreneur Dara Mir will now be able to enjoy a Hailey Bieber smoothie in the former home of Erewhon’s owners.

Erewhon CEO Anthony Antoci and president Josephine Antoci have sold their Bel Air mansion for $28.5 million to Mir, husband of “Shahs of Sunset” star Lily Ghalichi, Robb Report reported.

The home at 755 Sarbonne Road sold for more than $6 million above what the Antocis paid for it a year ago. Shortly after purchasing the property, the couple put it up for rent, with the most recent price being $200,000 per month, according to Robb Report. Mir secured the property for $4.5 million less than the final asking price — a nearly $9 million discount from the original asking price of nearly $37 million.

The property was acquired by an entity tied to Nigerian businessman Kola Aluko in 2012 for $24.5 million. At some point after that, Thomas Flohr, founder of private jet company VistaJet, bought the Sarbonne Road property in an apparent off-market deal. The Department of Justice, in pursuit of Aluko, attempted to seize the property after it had been transferred to Flohr, leading the Swiss businessman to pay $16 million to avoid losing it. He then listed the manse at $63 million, which dropped to $22.5 million by the time the Antocis bought it in May 2024.

Spanning 15,000 square feet on a 1-acre lot, the property features six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms and a bevy of amenities for its new owner. The main entrance has a curved staircase with a wooden door framed by limestone blocks. The palatial home has 16-foot ceilings and travertine floors with an elevator between the three floors.

A formal living room includes a wet bar and fireplace while the formal dining room has a sweeping view of the city. The home’s great room opens out to the pool and includes a casual lounge, a dining nook and a family kitchen. It also has a secondary chef’s kitchen.

New owner Bir can find peace and quiet in a wood-paneled study or enjoy a movie in a screening room with another wet bar. The owner can also work up a sweat at the fitness center and cool off in a spa next to the infinity-edge lap pool. The terrace overlooks the city and is shaded by olive trees.
