An Estate Inspired By Italian Renaissance
The eternal pop singer wanted each mega mansion room to feature splendid oceanic views. Basilicas and modern Italian structures from Venice, Italy, inspired the architecture. It took nearly five years for the songstress to create a panoramic home on the Malibu strip. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cher commissioned designer and architect Ron Wilson and Wallace Tut III to build over 16,000 square feet of magnificent oceanfront mansion.
The seven-bedroom Venetian-palazzo style home features striking arched windows and doors. The detailing on Italian design is so accurate that an 18th-century Venice-style marble balustrade from William Randolph Hearst’s collection at San Simeon was purchased to adorn the palatial space. The primary residence is filled with curated Asian art and museum-worthy furniture from the Renaissance era in Europe. Hand-wrought bronze doors, custom-made tiles from Spain, and Moroccan marble are some of the main highlights of this mega-mansion.
The Custom-Made Interior Fixtures Worth Millions
According to Architectural Digest, the Academy Award-winning singer drew inspiration from the Moorish Alhambra palace to decorate the interiors of her mansion. Cher’s home features the finest limestone and marble-induced collection, calling it her dream project. The theatrical elegance in each room comes with personally hand-painted Eastern motifs on the ceilings. The romantic ambiance caused by the Moroccan-style lanterns in every room adds to the vintage touch, silk clad walls and high-end drapery in the bedroom give a dramatic visual feel along with the open ocean views. The private seating area comes embellished with Moroccan Mashrabiya wood panels. The turquoise silhouette of the waters is felt in the open living space and family entertainment area.
The grand arched entrance to the estate welcomes guests with custom-carved panels from Rajasthan, India. Antique lanterns and candlesticks purchased from London give the entryway a magical touch. The most impressive part is the living space ceiling, hand-painted by Brad Southwick with gold leaf stencil and tea stain. The 19th-century-inspired custom furniture pieces are sourced from around the world. A 17th-century elm wood Chinese daybed, hand-carved coffee table, and sofas adorn the spacious room.
The Moroccan-inspired dining room features whimsical Marrakech lanterns, mid-century chairs from France, and ivory white walls painted by Benjamin Moore. The immaculate kitchen features custom handmade cabinets. Silver tile backsplash, Moravian star lantern, and vintage fixtures. The modern appliances complement the wooden ceremonial pieces. The Asian-inspired family room is done with a 19 century-Indian daybed, coffee table, and colossal rug. The powder room and bathrooms are decorated with distressed mirror fixtures for a reflective style. Antique Indian mirrors adorn the sinks, and custom wall scones and bronze taps give it a palace feel.
The Opulent Primary Bedroom And Insane Exotic Additions
According to LA Mag, the grand driveway is lined with forty palm trees. An octagram-shaped fountain surrounds the lush courtyard with Moroccan details, and the exterior passageway is decorated with voguish lanterns. The infinity pool has stunning ocean-side views and a relaxing lounge area. The highly private quarters of the singing diva open with a heavily carved walnut door. Her bedroom boasts Indian silk pillows with a 1920s famed Syrian bed, which Hollywood elite Rudolph Valentino once owned. Egyptian lamps and exquisite marble fountains add an air of mystique. The bath is done up in custom limestone and Egyptian art deco.
The most insane feature of the luxe estate, according to Vanity Fair, is the climate-controlled wig room that houses over 100 pairs of wigs of the stylish If I could turn back Time singer. The mansion has a meditation room where spiritual sessions by a Buddhist monk are frequently held. It also boasts an indoor-outdoor gym and an expansive theater room on the lower level. The private estate features a panic room for safety situations and a grand courtyard for tent parties. It also features a guest house in Balinese style, along with separate quarters for servants.
The colossal property spans from Point Dume to Santa Monica and Catalina Island beyond and speaks of patience and rich taste in the interiors. With unhindered views of the turquoise Pacific Ocean, the $85 million worth of property is an imposing masterpiece.
