As the LA Times Hot Property column mentions, today's estate once belonged to "The Exorcist" author William Peter Blatty but that's not really what makes this Hidden Hills, California mansion so extraordinary. Old Lion Manor is a three acre playground that includes a waterfall with a cave, statuary, a theater with seating for 28, a spa with a massage room, wine cellar with a tasting area and more. The facilities include a tennis court, volleyball court, equestrian ring and stables and a chessboard with life-size pieces. There is even a mechanical bull. The house has recently been rented out for parties (numerous photos of the pool stuffed with people can be found online) and the interior has a bit of a theme park feel with elaborate murals and heavy furniture. It is listed at $27.5 million.

Boy, at least they hired a pro photog, but waaaay too much post-processing w/ the Topaz plug-in.

Is that an ATM in pic #2? What's up w/ that?

is it really so difficult to put the photos in a line on one page as you usually do?

Yes, it appears to be. I figure it's for one of the following:

1 - The owner is so rich, he doles out money to people when the stop by.

2- For those late night poker games and the players run out of money.

3 - You always want an ample supply of bills for the pole dancers.

4 - For hookers that only accept cash.
