Bruce Makowsky’s spec house returns to market

Two wine cellars are stocked with Champagne, and an auto gallery is filled with a $30-million fleet of exotic cars and motorcycles — including a Bugatti, a vintage Allard and a custom Rolls-Royce. A Hobie Cat sailboat sits on a deck outside. A helicopter tops the roof.

The backyard is anchored by an 85-foot infinity-edge pool with a swim-up bar. In addition, there are 17,000 square feet of entertainment decks that take in 270-degree views from downtown to the ocean.

Should it sell for $150 million, it’ll be the most expensive home ever sold in Los Angeles County — by far. The current record belongs to an oceanfront property in Malibu’s Carbon Beach that hotelier Peter Morton sold last year for $110 million.

Makowsky said his offering is much nicer, but if the market dictates the most someone will pay, he wants to bring Billionaire down to a range where it can reasonably sell. That level of wealth exists, he said.

“People are spending $70 million on a private jet or $250 million on a yacht like it’s nothing,” he said. “Those aren’t their primary homes.”

He added that the $38-million price cut is an adjustment to the global market. As the dollar strengthened compared with the euro and the British pound over the last year, it boxed out potential international buyers — a market Makowsky hopes to attract.

Nine-figure home sales remain rare but not unfeasible. Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores paid $100 million for a Holmby Hills spec house in 2016, and the Playboy Mansion hauled in $100 million the same year.
