The house of famous business mogul, film producer, and record-setting pilot, Howard Hughes, is now for sale, complete with a wine vault that can hold 2,500 bottles.
Becoming a film tycoon in the late 1920s, he shot to fame following his controversial and revolutionary movies The Racket, Hell’s Angels and Scarface.
Also making a name for himself in aviation, Howard set multiple world air speed records and constructed the largest flying boat in history, setting himself as an aviation pioneer.
The billionaire combined his love of flight and films with his movie, The Aviator, using his eight-bedroom mansion as part of the film set, after moving into the home in 1928.
Boasting 10,179 sq ft, seven full bathrooms, five half bathrooms, and a 24-foot kitchen island, the extravagant home is now for sale, nearly 100 years after Howard’s move.
Each of the eight bedrooms hosts a double bed, spacious wardrobes, en-suite bathrooms, and a stunning view of the grounds, covering 0.6 acres.
The chef’s kitchen sports brass countertops and walls, making the kitchen glow, and a 24-foot kitchen island before opening into a small sitting area with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.
And guests will never want for wine, with a temperature-controlled vault which is capable of holding 2,500 bottles.
Venturing outside, the cobblestone courtyard hosts an outdoor fireplace, perfect for entertaining.
Complete with an inviting pool, a custom-built stone pizza oven and several lounge areas, this property was made for hosting.
The attached guest residence comes complete with a full kitchen and bathroom, ideal for guests wanting to spend the night.
Situated next to a large golf course, residents are merely a one-minute stroll from practising their swings.
Located in Los Angeles, California, US, the Spanish Revival Estate sits beyond a gated driveway, complete with a motor court, a three-car garage and an accompanying workshop.
The property is currently listed at £18m ($23m).
