Old Lion Manor's Deep Price Cut

Filed under: Estates

I was browsing through the MLS listings when I saw some old familiar pictures and a new low price that made me do a double take. Old Lion Manor, a Hidden Hills, California estate once owned by "The Exorcist" author William Peter Blatty hit the block last year at a hefty price of $27.5 million. 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 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 but it is a pretty amazing spread. How low did it go? This home is now listed at $8.65 million. Think it will find a buyer now?

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.
