Luxury homes often mimic resorts and hotels in their amenities and design, and the late Quincy Jones’ Bel Air home is a perfect example: the acclaimed record producer South African hotel The Palace of the Lost City, which was designed by his friend, architect, Gerald “Jerry” Allison, who then went on to create Quincy’s formidable estate.
Currently listed at $59,995,000, this remarkable five-bedroom, 17-bathroom residence is nothing short of stunning. Boasting breathtaking vistas of both the San Gabriel Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, along with an impressive 25,000-square-foot layout, this property offers plenty to admire.

We trust that the next homeowner will carry forward the tradition of joy, warmth, and elegance associated with the name Quincy Jones.

The structure is designed in a circular shape to offer 360-degree vistas, ensuring that wherever you stand, the cityscape remains visible. This outdoor space exudes both grandeur and serenity, as marble columns alongside cozy seating areas harmoniously merge tough and gentle elements.
