Another Price Cut for Quincy Jones’ Bel Air Home

The listing price for the home of late music icon Quincy Jones has taken another cut.

The Bel Air megamansion is now listed for just under $46 million, down $9 million from its previous price of $55 million, Mansion Global reported. It’s the second haircut at the property since it went on the market this past May for almost $60 million.

The manse at 1101 Bel Air Place spans 24,920 square feet. Jones purchased the vacant 2.3-acre lot in 1972 for $200,000, or nearly $87,000 per acre, and recruited late luxury hospitality architect Gerald “Jerry” Allison to build a home at the site. Jones moved into the completed mansion in 2002 and lived there until his death in November 2024 at age 91. “He created it from the ground up with his boundless imagination,” his daughter, actor Rashida Jones, told the Wall Street Journal of the estate last year.

Quincy Jones’ home features five bedrooms, eight full bathrooms and nine half-bathrooms. The primary suite in the east wing has multiple walk-in closets, a gym, a den, a private balcony and a spa-esque bathroom. The east wing houses the recording studio Jones had built, complete with its own entrance, reception area, security office and a gallery where Jones displayed pictures. There’s also a screening room and several guest suites in the east wing. The house’s central wing includes a library, a bar and terrace, as well as a wine bar, a wine cellar and a tasting room that all open out into an indoor garden. The exterior includes a lighted tennis court as well as multiple verandas and patios and an infinity-edge pool with a hot tub.

Jones, a 28-time Grammy Award winner, was best known for producing Michael Jackson hits like “Thriller,” “Off the Wall” and “Bad.” He also composed the scores for more than 30 films, including “In Cold Blood,” “The Wiz” and “The Color Purple.” He died of pancreatic cancer in November 2024 at the age of 91.
