Model Christina Estrada Lists Beverly Hills Villa for $26M

A former supermodel wants to sell her 1930-built villa in the Beverly Hills Flats, enlisting an agent behind the Playboy Mansion and Chartwell Estate megadeals to find a buyer for the $26 million home.

Christina Estrada hired Gary Gold, an agent with Forward One Real Estate to market the home at 722 North Maple Drive.

Estrada was married to the late Saudi billionaire Walid Juffali in 2001. Their high-profile divorce settlement in 2016 resulted in Estrada being awarded 75 million pounds, which is equivalent to $94.3 million based on current exchange rates.

Gold’s resume includes representing the sellers in several headline deals. That includes the $100 million sale of the Playboy Mansion in 2016. There was also the $150 million sale of Chartwell Estate in Beverly Hills in 2019 and the 2021 auction of the Hearst Estate for $63.1 million, also in Beverly Hills.

The long-time Hilton & Hyland veteran, who last held the executive vice president title at the brokerage, left in 2022 for Coldwell Banker Realty. Earlier this year, Gold made the move to Forward One.

Gold described his latest listing in the Flats as “the quintessential Beverly Hills estate.”

The 9,000-square-foot Maple Drive property sits on over half an acre and has five bedrooms and eight bathrooms. Highlights include a two-story foyer, pool, chef’s kitchen and five-car garage. There’s also a two-bedroom guest house.

Maple Drive is part of a raft of activity in recent months for the tony Flats neighborhood, which is bound by Sunset Boulevard to the north and Santa Monica Boulevard to the south.In January, David Salzman, president of the production firm behind hit series such as “Full House” and “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” sold his Flats home at 702 North Sierra Drive for $17 million. Last month, a trust tied to celebrity business manager Michael Karlin and accountant Marc Sniderman sold 622 North Elm Drive for $19.9 million after less than a month on the market.
