Once again making its appearance on the market is the stunning Pacific Palisades estate owned by the world-renowned boxing champion, Sugar Ray Leonard. This time around, the asking price for the 1.7-acre property is set at $45M.

Sugar Ray Leonard, a former professional boxer with an illustrious career spanning two decades, achieved unparalleled success by clinching world titles in five different weight classes. He made history as the first boxer to amass over $100M in prize money within the sport.

Given Leonard’s extraordinary achievements, it’s only fitting that his Los Angeles residence mirrors his exceptional accomplishments. Nestled within the highly exclusive Upper Riviera area of Pacific Palisades, the mansion is strategically situated just moments away from the picturesque coastal beaches and the Pacific Coast Highway.

Encompassing the property is a sprawling compound designed in the style of a Florentine Villa. This opulent estate boasts a plethora of amenities, including a luxurious home, a refreshing pool, a charming cabana, a tennis court, and an inviting guest house.

The crown jewel of the estate is the grand Florentine Villa-inspired structure, offering a generous 16,773 square feet of living space, boasting an impressive 8 bedrooms and 15 baths.

Architect Richard Landry, celebrated for his impressive portfolio of high-end residential projects and earned the moniker “The King of the Megamansion,” custom-designed Leonard’s striking compound. Landry, having crafted over 500 private homes, including residences for notable figures like Michael Bolton, Rod Stewart, Tom Brady, and Wayne Gretzky, drew inspiration from Florentine architecture. The resulting design integrates expansive communal areas with arched entrances, striking wooden beams, and unique artistic details.

The interior of the residence is adorned with intricate features, including exposed beam ceilings, ornate tile flooring, and bespoke windows framing captivating views of the mountains and ocean.

Within the sprawling 16,773-square-foot estate lie various parlors and cozy sitting areas, many of which seamlessly connect to the vast estate grounds, effectively blending indoor and outdoor living.

Central to the mansion’s layout is an impressive two-story living room, accompanied by an adjacent dining room that imparts an air of palatial elegance to the space. This sense of opulence is harmonized by the presence of warm wooden elements and gracefully rounded picture windows.

The kitchen exudes its own form of grandeur, characterized by meticulous design elements harmoniously paired with top-tier appliances, marble countertops, and custom-crafted cabinetry.

Journeying to the upper level, one discovers the expansive primary suite featuring a fireplace, an opulent bathroom reminiscent of a high-end resort, and multiple balconies that unveil sweeping ocean vistas.

Throughout the compound, numerous balconies and terraces invite residents and guests to savor the meticulously landscaped grounds, which encompass an oval swimming pool, a putting green, a tennis court, a guest house, and a delightful cabana.
