Possibly, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson should run for president of the cutthroat HOA at North Beverly Park before he starts his presidential campaign. In what is considered to be the most exclusive and expensive guard-gated community in Los Angeles, he’ll have to deal with some of the most high-maintenance residents, folks who’ll have his legendary callused hands full dealing with them. The highest-paid actor in Hollywood (the “Fast & Furious” franchise, “Jumanji” franchise, “Ballers”) and his wife Lauren Hashian have recently moved into a new house in the neighborhood, with Denzel Washington, Sly Stallone, Rod Stewart, Eddie Murphy, and Sofia Vergara as neighbors.
In the mountains above Beverly Hills, Beverly Park is a particularly luxurious estate that The Rock purchased for $27.8 million last week. His Rockness quickly negotiated a price of $2 million and change off the list of the property, which was briefly available for sale earlier this year for million. The deal went down quietly and closed off-market.
In 1993, rocker Alex Van Halen built the property, which has been owned by The Rock since then. It was sold to The Rock by Hollywood actor Paul Reiser (“Mad About You,” “Beverly Hills Cop,” “Stranger Things”); before that, it was owned by Paul Reiser. There are nearly 18,000 square feet of living space in the Mediterranean-style compound, which includes the main mansion and a separate guesthouse.
A previous listing described the house as “a complete resort” despite spanning over 3.6 acres on one of the most private lots in the neighborhood. Several wow-worthy amenities are included on this palatial property, including a full-size tennis court, a baseball diamond at home, dozens of olive trees, an elevator, a movie theater, and a music studio — installed by Van Halen, naturally — along with indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
Behind iron gates, a long, olive tree-lined driveway leads to a pea gravel motor court with a central stone fountain at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. With its ivy-encrusted archways and Mediterranean landscaping, it feels much more like a Tuscan estate than a typical L.A. mansion.
There are turrets, balconies, and covered loggias on the red-tiled roof of this mansion.
Located in a room with mint green walls and French doors opening to the backyard is an indoor, lap-lane pool.
He owns a 45-acre equestrian estate in Powder Springs, Georgia, about an hour by car northwest of Atlanta, where he and his family often spend time when they are not in California. The pastoral property was recently listed for sale, priced at .5 million.
