The iconic Los Angeles property known by the monolithic title “The Manor” is for sale, and it’s every bit what you’d expect from its record-setting $200 million asking price. Featuring over 100 rooms spread across its truly bewildering 56,500 square feet, the Holmby Hills house was built in the late ‘80s for television’s most prolific writer-producer of all-time, Aaron Spelling. The house is currently owned by Formula One racing heiress Petra Ecclestone Stunt, who paid $85 million in cash for it back in 2011.

A foyer with 30-foot ceilings, a striped marble floor and a double staircase greets guests to the monumental mansion, with a veritable resort’s-worth of amenities beyond. At the time of its construction, a barber shop, humidity-controlled silver storage room, a doll museum, a flower cutting room and a number of rooms for wrapping gifts were reported to be among the many dedicated spaces. After purchasing the home, Stunt enlisted interior designer Gavin Brodin for an upgrade that reportedly had up to 500 workers at the house at a time.

Other amenities include a catering kitchen, a subterranean nightclub, a wine cellar, a bowling alley with two lanes, a full spa and home fitness center and a beauty salongwith tanning and massage rooms.

A total of 13 bedrooms include seven staff rooms, and there 27 bathrooms throughout the property—so no partygoer should ever have to wait. Ecclestone Stunt and her husband, investor James Stunt, are apparently looking to sell the property because, with their children enrolled in school in London, they don’t make it out to the L.A. property as often as they’d like.
