From a Bel-Air estate to a Spanish Hacienda to an iconic New York residence, these properties offer five-star pedigrees for global buyers. When marketing top notch properties, those with a history behind them are especially interesting.

Bel-Air, California: Il Sogno (The Dream)

Available for the first time in half a century at $ 45 million, Il Sogno (The Dream) on Perugia Way is a 12,000 square foot grand gated Tuscan villa-style home. Built by Mark Daniels with interiors by Kalef Alaton, named one of the 20 greatest designers of all time by Architectural summary.

Craftsmen from Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast have helped create an authentic Italian villa. A team of Italian artists from the internationally renowned studio Renzo Mongiardino in Rome hand painted the frescoes that adorn the domed ceiling, walls and wood floors.

The villa’s expansive gardens were designed by David Jones, Nancy Reagan’s personal florist, Jackie Kennedy and Elizabeth Taylor. A hand-tiled swimming pool, a sunken cave spa, fountains, huge lawns, formal gardens, and specimen trees make up the grounds. Views of the Bel-Air Country Club golf course and UCLA complete the picture.

Placerville, Colorado: Berman Buckskin Ranch

The backstory of this recreational Colorado ranch is that the main ranch was originally designed for Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone. Today it is home to three-time Word of Poker champion and renowned entrepreneur Lyle Berman who reinvented the ranch when he bought it. Berman’s resume included six years as president and CEO of restaurant and retail chain Rainforest Café.

With a total of 17 bedrooms and 15 baths on 1,418 acres, the ranch is listed at $ 24.5 million. The new owner can embrace the Colorado lifestyle via 10 miles of mountain biking and horseback riding trails.
