A 50,000-square-foot compound in Brentwood, CA—one of five locations dubbed “marijuana mansions” in Los Angeles—was initially designed as a stoner’s paradise, marketed with a rooftop garden and other amenities. The seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom house sold last week for $44 million to financier Jeff Feinberg, former director of Soros Fund Management.
The cannabis plants have since been removed, a listing broker representative told New York Post. Initially, the 10,000-square-foot, rooftop deck was offered with six cannabis plants, tended by a dedicated budtender. “[The buyer] did not want it so it was removed prior to closing,” the representative said.
The mansion also came with cannabis smoking rooms, which the developer Ramtin Ray Nostrati says will be used as cigar rooms. It was one of five “marijuana mansions” he built for active and retired athletes seeking “at-home, anti-inflammatory medicine,” according to a TMZ report from 2018.
“I built and designed this home with the idea in mind that you would be on vacation every day when living here. I wanted to bring the inspiration of resort living to life at a residential property where you never wanted to leave,” Nostrati said.
The mansion is still heavy in “greens,” with a vegetable garden, moss wall, cactus garden, and a golf green. The rooftop deck also has a full bar, outdoor fireplaces, and patio areas. There are 30,000 square feet of outdoor living space, and the lot is 1.26 acres total.
Inside, the mansion features a “living wall” of moss, backing a three-story staircase with a 26-foot chandelier descending to a cactus garden at the base of the stairs. The staircase leads up to a living and dining area complete with a 1,000-gallon aquarium, bar, two kitchens and a 22-foot, floor-to-ceiling fireplace, one of at least five indoor fireplaces.
Not enough? The mansion also includes a three-hole putting green with 360-degree views, with a wood-paneled sports simulator room featuring 13 games, a couple’s massage room and an indoor jet pool with a waterfall cascading from the ceiling.
It’s safe to say that, even though the cannabis-centric perks were removed from the behemoth of a home, the new buyer will have plenty to keep themself occupied.
