Tour a $195 Million Los Angeles Estate With Josh Flagg | Estate Elegance

[@sflspotter6638]

Now this is how you present an iconic estate like this. From the initial entrance gates to the front door entry down to the choices of music. It depicts the true magnitude of grander of this fine specimen of a home. Well done Josh.

[@tommyboy1653]

You better have a non profit buy this place because property tax will be crazy high.😂

[@JANunes805]

Terrific Tour. You let the property speak for itself.

[@johnbrennan8628]

Shout out to Josh for looking younger than he did 15 yrs ago 👏

[@markpb4767]

Lol, you crazy queens

[@ChristiMiles]

Agreed. Grand elegance at its finest, with spectacular beauty.

[@Nadia-e2h2x]

Hi Josh , So beautiful from a bygone time of old ,these estates need to be preserved and cherished. So many houses have been destroyed in preference of white boxes I love the way you treasure these beautiful buildings thankyou Josh❤

[@maron777]

Josh , you were the right person to be hired for the massive job of finding a buyer for such esteemed estate. Your style of timeless elegance presented with light, casual flair makes you the beloved realtor of USA! ❤🎉

[@rosalindasculturalcabana8581]

Thank you Josh for your discreet and minimalist style. Using great videography and music, you allow the property to speak for itself.

[@josephsf2452]

thank God they didn't destroy the interior with contemporary lighting . It's very well done. Exceptional ‼‼

[@tpolerex7282]

As an architectural designer, there actually is much contemporary lighting being utilized here as part of the design. Modern LED’s possess so much great technology that enables a great lighting designer to effectively hide or minimize the visibility of the fixtures, as well as choose the intensity and color temperature, so that you rarely notice the lights, rather, you are aware of the objects and spaces being lit and the mood conveyed.

[@josephcrangle4669]

No massive spec house can replicate the providence and history of an estate like Casa Encantada. The house and grounds are truly spectacular.

[@michaelturley8222]

Am I the only one that thought “meh” lmao obviously luxurious and grand but kinda tacky to me

[@UALHVY]

@@michaelturley8222 The structure is a bit past its prime. The grounds are beautiful.

[@andrewwalker7893]

You mean provenance?

[@mhxxd4]

But it's old and outdated, the land can stay but the house should be torn down

[@wib6044]

Definitely not my style, but I would take it in a heartbeat over the newer mega mansions on the show. Definitely shouldn’t be torn down. At most redecorated.

[@sterlingforbes3872]

JF is the best realtor for this property as he fully appreciates it, every other realtor would have been walking around spilling endless adjectives and buzzwords.

[@estatemediaus]

Agreed! Josh Flagg: Real Estate Historian!

[@michaeledwardson7685]

Josh and the EM Team have created top quality Film! Thank you 🎬

[@coen849]

This is something very different, wow! I love how you gave a tour and let the estate speak vs being a realtor and talk us through it! Absolutely stunning! Thank you for the upload! 🙏🏼

[@ChristiMiles]

Josh shares my love for timeless elegance. We both should’ve been born in a previous time era

[@EarlSkakel]

I've actually been to his house for party and let's just say I walked into the pool house which is bigger than most people's homes and thought it was the main house. The grounds are simply unreal, it's a good video but it doesn't really capture for lack of a better word the massiveness of the grounds.

[@PLH483]

Beautifully filmed. Well done.

[@12MinuteStudios]

Omg, I will never watch any other agent on tge internet show a house...Josh, this was spectacular...Bravo

[@palmspringssnobs5551]

Thanks for letting the house and property speak for itself. Unlike most real estate KZbinrs who annoyingly spew about what stove the house has etc.

[@johngonzales3645]

Thank you Josh and Team. Wonderful presentation.

[@ChristySandhoff]

Well done Josh. This one has it all.

[@cujochihuahua5073]

Love Josh and enjoyed when his grandmother was on the show, fantastic lady with her lipstick 😊

[@b.l.8611]

Wow….!!!!!! Double WOW! I love how you describe the historic significance of the house. Stunning.

[@eddieg6436]

Nice history, nice acreage, no neighbors…….but I can’t even IMAGINE the maintenance on a property like that!!

[@franvarga709]

If you have to ask, you can't afford it. Nor me.

[@glenndagazette]

Wow. This is incredible on every level.

[@CBALiving]

The video is amazing . It showcased the home lovely... Its a magnificent charm is show stopper. This is really an iconic home. Josh Flagg is the right person to sell it. Love the passion he shows for refined architectural homes...

[@evanperroncino1713]

Epic house Josh!!!! Only you can pull off these beautiful houses!!! Well Done!! 👏👏

[@n0rbakn0rbak38]

Does it come with sprinkles?

[@tonygarcia5197]

Thank you for the tasteful tour. This is how house tours should be. Kudos! I don’t want to hear an agent telling what I can see for myself!

[@sandraboyle2520]

🤩This is Luxury at its Finest. Classy ⭐

[@AnKyNguyen-t6h]

Incredible. The house is so elegant and friendly compared with that sky-high value. It's wonderful to know about this amazing property on earth. Thank you for sharing.

Unless you're a multi-billionaire

[@14thegr8]

Beautiful! Please do a longer tour or have Enes do a tour of this beautiful estate.

[@lornamikhaiel858]

This estate belongs to the house keeping and Gardner's. They are the ones there day and night looking after all . Thanks to them ❤❤

[@brule1961]

All of the furniture was custom made for the home when it was built. When Hilton purchased it, he kept it as it was. And he only paid $250k.

[@mtark1]

The architecture is outstanding! Thank you for sharing, Josh,

[@estatemediaus]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bradbundy1471]

Hardly the most important house in the United States. I will take a log cabin in the forest with a fireplace, loving family and good food. For a hundred grand and Happy as hell. 🌲🌲 🥸

[@AudiophiliaChannel]

Beautifully crafted video of a magnificent home. Even the music used was great (Ravel String Quartet). Good luck, Josh with your sale.

[@eddieg6436]

Peter Marino just re-imagined the new Chanel boutique on Rodeo Drive.

[@terrifryday3641]

I always wondered what grand pa Hilton's house was like.... this did not disappoint. amazing estate. Can imagine the memories the iconic family would have had here. the pool yard and guest house reminded me of the hotel in my city ! (Australia)

[@greeneyedwarlock882]

I'm an independent Professional Photographer here in the midwest and I've shot lotsssss of magnificent historic homes in the area and know what I'm talking about when it comes to truly exquisite houses and estates. This is definitely in that category, however "the most important" home in the country is ridiculous. A important, stunning & historic home, yes, "THE" most important, no. Very nice job on the video though with no narration.....the music was perfect and no narration let the photos do all the talking.

[@maryjoognibene6218]

This was a Beautiful showing!! Thanks Josh!

[@guilloramirez3866]

Mr. Flagg it was delightful seeing how the 1% lives. I was wondering who composed the music it was beautiful. Wish you many success in the sale of this precise home.

[@bradcolby3624]

Absolutely stunning Josh. Nice presentation

[@rarndt3903]

Stunning! A privilege to see it.

[@davidwall951]

I was in this estate several times after Mr. Hilton passed away. What happened to the furniture that had remained as part of the house from its founding owner, it was stunning?

[@DennisonLewis]

It was auctioned off

[@ValentinaMitchell1]

An elegant masterpiece.

[@sweetpotatopie4283]

Stunning property. Curious what the yearly taxes and monthly upkeep is for a home like this? Probably 5K for monthly grounds upkeep.

[@dorothygale1104]

Property taxes in California are 1% of the assessed value of the home. Purchase price is the initial assessed value and thereafter increases to assessed value are limited to increases in the CPI regardless how the market balue of a property may increase.

[@ericyoshimurapalmspringsre6734]

Well done Josh! What a treat seeing inside! It is the only home in Los Angeles that is almost completely surrounded by a golf course fairway. It is like a large island in the middle of the one of the nicest golf clubs in the country. How opulent.

[@alishariat1435]

Thank you for the tour and the great Ravel Quartet

[@davidgolf3245]

For 195 mill, do you get a membership at Bel Air Country Club?? Just curious, since I am a golfer and no longer working. I am short by 193 million FYI.. Awesome video and presentation.

[@dorothygale1104]

Membership at Bel Air CC is comprised of those who couldn’t/wouldn’t be able to become a member at Los Angeles CC, which is thee most exclusive club in SoCal.

[@bethdixon501]

Truly the quintessential estate on the west coast. Spectacular !

[@itsthepens]

A wonderfully minimalist video of a truly spectacular estate. My only qualm would be those two huge covered metal verandas on the top floor of the rear elevation; they give it the air of a vast gas station

[@MrMustangrick]

Great video Josh. Thanks !

[@Sophia1991sd]

I wish this tour was a lot longer and more detailed. like Enes tours. this amazing estate deserves a plus one hour tour

[@KellerCt]

Tremendous. Absolutely stunning Josh.

[@billdonohoe8266]

Spectacular presentation of this estate!

[@cyberla]

Classy home fit to house a royal family. Only the Rose Garden looked dated other wise love the birds chirping and tennis sound effects 🙌

[@gerardguida7727]

Just think...... whoever buys this Estate,...is probably going to spend at least 5o million in Updating and Renovation! That's Big Money 😊.... Beautiful Estate and Beautiful Video Production....❤😊

[@DennisonLewis]

It's already been renovated

[@dorothygale1104]

The current owner, Karen Winnick, the wife of Gary Winnick (former CEO of Global Crossing who passed away in Nov. 2023). The Winnicks bought the home from David Murdoch (owner of Dole Food Co.) for $94M in 2000 (the highest price in the US at that time) and spent $40M+ to restore the home to its original state. FYI - a restoration returns a home to its original condition with no changing to the floor plan or layout of a home, while a renovation involves changes to the configuration of a structure and/or adding space to a structure. While the architecture and interior design of the home are from another era (the 40,000 sf mansion was built in 1938), but the restoration has the home in the same condition as it was when it was completed in 1938, which I can attest to as I have been a guest there several times. This is the type of important historical property that an owner would restore to its original condition vs. renovating a home like this. Renovating to make this home look more modern would be like painting over the Mona Lisa. David Murdoch, the previous owner, purchased this home in 1980 from the Estate of Conrad Hilton for $12.5M, the highest price ever paid in the US at that time. Conrad Hilton bought this home in 1950 for $225,000, which was a fraction of the original $2M+ cost to build it in 1938.

[@gerardguida7727]

@@dorothygale1104 Wow!...thankyou for all that history!🙂

[@elove312]

Very well done to let the home speak for itself. We don’t need some over hyped realtors talking like they’re at a Las Vegas prize fight.

This beautiful estate would be the perfect place for the next private magical music concert - Starring - Ms. Angelina Jordan - OMG.!!!

[@ailsabarnett7925]

Josh this is truly a spectacular house that I’d buy in a heartbeat, I’m just missing one crucial thing…..$191m to purchase it! I do think you ought to though, I think you suit this house x

[@Kookaburger]

Elegant timeless beauty

[@denysedubois9334]

Superb house. Not seeing bedrooms or bathrooms. 1. Wanted to limit the staging budget to the ground floor perhaps as well as needed a re-design? 2. Not seeing the bathrooms must be because they are all need to be gutted due to the old 3” square porcelain tiles everywhere with old grout. The current owner listed the Casa back in late spring 2023 for over $250M. Now with Flagg having the listing since June ‘24… I hope he has better luck due to his knowledge.

[@lodks613]

For golfers, I have a question. This property has pretty high elevation from golf course. Is it safe from golf balls?

[@quinnpa1976]

Nice!! At 2.5%, that's almost a $5 million commission!!

[@crizzy8373]

LOVE the music!!

[@erindanelleavilaavilaguerr7251]

It shows as mine but its theirs up there. It shows columbia monarchy property but I don't know.

[@true2016blue]

Beautiful video!

[@matthewtorchiana6418]

It's quite a home, but the most important? I beg to differ. I know of a home that who's site was selected in 1791. Families took up residency before it was even completed. The residents lived there on average 8 years. It was burned down during the war of 1812. It was rebuilt, and expanded, and it received its first renovation in 1902 and then again in 1952. I confidently say it has seen more important guests over it's existance that any other residence in the United States. It has 132 rooms and 35 bathrooms over 6 floors and contnues to be a living example of the history of the United States. If you want a tour, the address is 1600 Pennsylvanie Ave NW, Washington, DC. No argument that Connie's house is magnificent, but not the most important. The sales commission is, but not the home itself.

[@mtark1]

And the music is perfect for this estate.

[@dorothygale1104]

I can't deal with the white paint over the millwork and some of the other wood treatments, but this is about the only way you can buy class in LA. You certainly can't do that with "The One"...lol. Hey, paint can always be stripped and with this place you can pretend to be the head of the "syndicate" in an episode of Mannix or Cannon, 70's detective shows that I'm sure I've seen this place on.

This isn't even in the same league as the Biltmore House in the Carolinas. Now that house is amazing. This house is so,so

[@thomaskeiper4534]

Beautiful house and property indeed. However, it being “ The most important house in the United States “. I disagree. Obviously, you’ve not seen the houses/estates, with their gardens belonging to the Delaware duPont family’s. In example Nemours Mansion & gardens. Now… on the property is the nationally known Nemours Children’s hospital foundation. Then, there’s the Vanderbilt Mansion Biltmore. Very few can hold a candle to it.
