It takes a certain kind of guy to name his home Heaven. Maybe the kind of guy who walks around town in a cowboy hat and is famous for being one of television's most notorious villains. As Hagman tells it in a video (after the jump) it was love at first sight for him and his wife Maj when they saw the hilltop estate in Ojai, California. They bought the property in 1991 and built the Mediterranean-style house with nine bedrooms the following year.

The home is designed for entertaining, there is a guest house and an open but covered space fits more than 200 guests with a lap pool and retractable roof. Hagman may have played an oil tycoon on television but the home is equipped with a huge solar polar system which sliced his electric bill to pennies and enabled him to sell back electricity to the town. The home also has its own helipad.

The property is designed to take advantage of views of the Pacific ocean, Channel Islands, mountains and valley and sliding glass walls offering unobstructed views. This home hit the market last November for $11 million but as the Wall Street Journal reports it is now listed at $9.5 million.

The name pretty much sums it up. This has to be the most liveable large estate ever presented by Luxist. And $9.5M, it actually seems like a bargain.

Larry can I please live there until you sell it? :) I have never and will never live in a home as gorgeous as this!! Just thought I'd take a chance and ask! ox

Nice home.

Deidre: Typo/grammar error -- should be for HIM and his wife.

VERY nice indeed and yes, I too think it's a bargain at this price. It's apparent they put a lot of thought into the design of this home. Loved it!

Living off the grid in style. All it needs now is a 'Living Machine'.

Beautiful, but who the heck needs a house that big...

So sad for the reason that he had to put his beloved house up for sale. He and his wife moved because she is suffering from Alzheimer's. He's such a good guy, and he absolutely adores his wife and would not be separated from her, even now. The disease is a cruel thief. We should do all we can to put a stop to it.
