This massive compound was once home to Sonny and Cher from the mid-1970's to 1988 when she sold it for $5.9M. The buyer was Eddie Murphy. He renovated the property and expanded the living quarters before selling 7 years later for $4M, a $1.9M loss. Yikes. It's most recent asking price in late 2016 is $85M. 

Located in Benedict Canyon, minutes from Rodeo Drive and behind a guarded gate, this is an incomparable equestrian dream across sixteen magnificent acres. Here, miles of riding trails meander through magical woodlands, winding back home to five deluxe stables and two horse rings. A 20,000 square foot main house, now being freshly reenvisioned, is invisible from the rest of the compound. The ultimate equestrian environment with a group of magnificent stables; a pair of pristine and white-graveled riding rings as well a tennis court with seating area, lavishly landscaped grounds and more. A stunning 7,000-square-foot Moroccan guest house, soaring arched windows prove to be walk-through doorways to the landscape beyond. Moroccan tiles, hand-carved wooden doors, and coffered ceilings create a richly inviting ambiance. Sequestered in the canyon just moments from the Beverly Hills Hotel, this vast treasure is part rustic, part refined and wholly without equal.
