The Long Battle Between Two of LA's Craziest Mega mansions | Armonk Homes

[Left: Fleur de Lys; right: The Manor]
A few days ago, news broke that Petra Stunt is hoping to sell the infamous Holmby Hills estate known as The Manor for at least $102 million. That number, of course, is not a coincidence: it's the record sale price set by the nearby Fleur de Lys estate just a few months ago. But that's only the latest shot fired in a long war between the neighboring megamansions; the story involves television kings, heiress sisters, acres of limestone, and so much more, and we've broken it all down for you right here:
The Estate
Fleur de Lys: LA's fifth largest house is about 35,000 square feet on 4.6 acres with 12 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, a pool/spa complex, a ballroom for 500, a two-story library, a commercial kitchen, a staff dining room, a cutlery room, security center, and 3,000-square-foot wine cellar with tasting room. It's also covered in limestone. It was built in 2002.
The Manor: Los Angeles's largest house (for now) is 56,500 square feet on 4.69 acres, with 14 bedrooms, 27 bathrooms, gobs of Italian limestone, a projection room, wetbar, library, service wing, billiards room, two-lane bowling alley, wine cellar with tasting room catering kitchen, gym, beauty salon, doll museum, and at least one giftwrapping room. It was built in 1990.
Rich Idle Blonde Woman It's Most Closely Associated With
Fleur de Lys: Suzanne Saperstein built Fleur de Lys with her ex-husband David I. Saperstein, who made his fortune in radio traffic reports. They split shortly after their palace was finished.
The Manor: Candy Spelling built The Manor with her now-deceased husband Aaron Spelling, the wildly successful television producer known for creating Dynasty; Beverly Hills, 90210; and Charlie's Angels. (They're Tori Spelling's parents, BTW.)
For Sale
Fleur de Lys: Fleur de Lys first went up for sale in 2007 asking $125 million.
The Manor: The Manor was first listed in 2008 for $150 million and stuck with that asking price until the day it sold for way, way less.
