The FIFA World Cup 2026 is here, and Los Angeles is hosting. As the USMNT takes the pitch and the city opens itself to the world, we're thinking about the kind of real estate that matches the scale of the moment. And really, there's only one answer. Ten years in the making, and the largest and grandest private residence ever built in the urban world, The One doesn't just win the World Cup of Luxury Real Estate, it laps the field. It sold at auction through Concierge Auctions in 2022 for $141M.
A home of this magnitude will never again be built in Los Angeles, cementing The One in a class of its own.
The One, Bel Air, Los Angeles | Sold for $141M
Floating above the city on 3.8 gated acres, The One commands 360-degree views of the Pacific, Downtown LA, and the San Gabriel Mountains. The numbers defy comprehension: 105,000 square feet, five pools, a 10,000-square-foot sky deck, a 400-foot private running track with glass-walled city views, a nightclub, a full-service salon and spa, and a Dolby Digital theatre seating over 40—all surrounded by a shimmering moat on three sides. The kind of over-the-top fame and wonder that only exists in Los Angeles.
Four More of Our Favorite Properties in the City of Angels
Los Angeles has always attracted the world's most ambitious real estate — and Concierge Auctions has had the privilege of representing some of its finest. Here are four more standout properties from our LA portfolio.
11870 Ellice Street, Malibu, California | Sold for $28.090M
This 20,000-square-foot contemporary masterpiece in Malibu's exclusive Marisol development was built to a different standard entirely. Indonesian-inspired design incorporating Feng Shui principles throughout, a 95-foot infinity pool with unobstructed Pacific views, six ensuite bedroom suites each with private terraces, a 2,000-gallon aquarium, hand-carved natural stone walls, and floor-to-ceiling motorised glass walls dissolving interior and ocean into one. Built from super-engineered concrete designed to last centuries.
The Knoll House, 2 Oak Knoll Terrace, Pasadena, California | Sold for $17.5M
This was the largest single-family estate in Pasadena, designed by Myron Hunt in 1916 and later expanded by Gordon Kaufmann. The 32,000-square-foot property comprises a 12,300-square-foot residence and a 20,500-square-foot entertainment gallery, set on 2.38 acres with nine wood-burning fireplaces, a 46-seat movie theatre, a two-story atrium art museum, a hand-carved Tiki bar, a billiards room, and a 2,500-bottle wine cellar. Meticulously restored to blend historic craftsmanship with modern luxury throughout.
1035 Stradella Road — Bel Air, California | Sold for $18.4M
Residing near The One, this massive 12,130-square-foot modern estate was developed as a live, work, and play oasis. Cantilevered architecture appears to float above the hillside on 1.3 gated acres, with views from Topanga Canyon to Downtown LA and the ocean. Three levels of outdoor entertaining, a 73-foot pool, and a lower-level wellness retreat fits the bill of ultra-luxury LA living.
Villa Firenze, 67 Beverly Park Court, North Beverly Hills, California | Previously listed at $160M
Before The One, there was Villa Firenze, the property that set the world record for the most expensive home ever sold at auction. An authentic Italian village across nine pristine acres in North Beverly Park, the property is 20,000 square feet, and includes three guest residences, a resort pool, a lighted tennis court, and a 30-car courtyard framed by 40-foot Canary Island palms. Built over five years by architect William Hablinski, it sold at auction in 2021, breaking Concierge Auctions' own world record at the time.
