I first heard about this estate a year ago after the Wall Street Journal reported that media billionaire Haim Saban was putting his Acapulco, Mexico vacation home on the market. A year later and the home is still on the market for the same price. The three-acre gated compound in the Las Brisas community is the estate that Warner Communications (which became Time Warner) used to entertain clients and celebrities. In the late 1990s, Time Warner needed to cut costs and sold the home known as Villa Eden to Saban for around $7 million in 2001. The home has 12 bedrooms (plus five bedrooms in the servant quarters), 17 bathrooms, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, two pools, five massage rooms and a wine cellar. The expansive home has jetliner views of the Acapulco bay. It is listed at $12 million.

Some of the furniture could be reupholstered or replaced. But overall a nice value.

I might change the pool to an infinity pool as an update.

Wow, its like a resort! Unbeliavble views! I have never seen a house have an indoor tennis court, thats pretty cool.

Indoor AND outdoor tennis courts? Somebody's not taking any chances on the weather. LOVE the cool marble floors in the bedrooms, and the outdoor space is also nice. The screening room needs a complete re-do, however.

Very nice looking real estate, it definitely has that Villa appeal, and the warm weather makes it all the more relaxing to be swimming in those outdoor pools. Not bad at all, definitely agree with previous comment that I'd have to redo the furniture, but to each their own taste.
