Quincy Jones’ Bel Air Home Takes Another Price Cut

A Bel Air megamansion owned by late music icon Quincy Jones has taken yet another price cut.

The domed home at 1101 Bel Air Place has seen a $6 million haircut with a new listing price of just under $40 million, Mansion Global reported.

It’s the latest slashing at the Lower Bel Air property since it hit the market last May for almost $60 million. The home first took a hit to $55 million, and last month, the price dropped again to $46 million. This latest list price represents a loss of roughly 33 percent from its original ask.

Jones purchased the vacant 2.3-acre lot in 1972 for $200,000, or nearly $87,000 per acre. The music producer tapped late luxury hospitality architect Gerald “Jerry” Allison to build a home at the site. Jones moved into the manse in 2002 and lived there until his death in November 2024.

The home spans 24,920 square feet and features five bedrooms, eight full bathrooms and nine half-bathrooms. The mansion’s primary suite has multiple walk-in closets, a gym, a den, a private balcony and a spa-like bathroom. In the same east wing of the house, Jones built a recording studio, complete with its own entrance, reception area, security office and a photo gallery. The east wing also boasts a screening room and several guest suites.

The central wing houses a library, a bar and a terrace as well as a separate wine bar, wine cellar and tasting room that open out into an indoor garden. Outside, the property has a lighted tennis court, multiple verandas and patios, and an infinity-edge pool with a hot tub.

“My father loved his home so much,” Jones’ daughter, actress Rashida Jones, said when the property hit the market last year, per the Wall Street Journal. “He created it from the ground up with his boundless imagination.”

Jones won 28 Grammy Awards and 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 such as “The Wiz” and “The Color Purple.” He died of pancreatic cancer in November 2024 at the age of 91.
