An iconic Bel Air mansion that once served as the fictional home of The Beverly Hillbillies has hit the market–for a cool $350 million.

Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, Hilton & Hyland, and Berkshire Hathaway Home Services made the announcment Monday.

Known as “Chartwell,” the estate sites on 10.3 acres. It was built in 1933 by architect Sumner Spaulding and was enhanced and restored under the direction of the recently deceased owner, media magnate A. Jerrold Perenchio, after he purchased the estate in 1986. Perenchio engaged designer Henri Samuel, known for his work on estates owned by the Vanderbilts, Rothschilds and Valentino, to redesign Chartwell.

Over the subsequent 30 years’ adjacent properties were acquired, including the post-White House Bel Air home of Ronald and Nancy Reagan as well a Wallace Neff guest house and a long private driveway. Inspired by 18th Century French Neoclassical design, the main residence is approximately 25,000 sq. ft. in size and poised for entertaining in grand style. Features include exquisitely detailed limestone facade, a ballroom, world-class wine cellar, formal salon and period- paneled dining room. The grounds encompass expertly manicured gardens, a tennis court, covered parking for 40 cars, 75-foot pool and fully equipped pool house, all set against sweeping panoramic views of downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean.

The property is listed by Jeff Hyland, Drew Fenton and Gary Gold of Hilton & Hyland; Joyce Rey, Jade Mills and Alexandra Allen of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury; and Drew Gitlin and Susan Gitlin of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services.

Zillow’s Zestimate on the property, as of Monday, was listed as slightly more than $37 million.

Here’s a You Tube video of the house posted in 2014.
