First known for her music, Cher has become an admired style icon in fashion and home décor. While her clothes are glitzy and colorful, her properties are surprisingly rustic. Last month, the star listed her Tudor-style Los Angeles house and now her former Beverly Hills mansion has hit the market for $68 million.Built in 1980, this was Cher’s first home after her divorce from Sonny Bono, and she made sure it was exactly what she wanted. Not only is the compound grand in size, but it’s unlike any other property in the area since it was designed by Cher from start to finish. It certainly caught Eddie Murphy’s eye since he bought it from the singer in the late 1980s. The property changed hands again in 1994, which is when additional land parcels were acquired; creating the 14-acre estate that is for sale today.The 7,000-square-foot Moroccan-style guesthouse is move-in ready, but the 20,000-square-foot main house is in the middle of an interior remodel. The silver lining? A new owner can now bring his or her vision for the main house to life just as Cher did many years ago.For the price of $68 million, the gated residence offers 11 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, as well as outdoor perks like a pool and tennis court. Additionally, it’s an equestrian paradise thanks to the five horse stables, white-graveled riding rings, and ample nature trails.Joshua Altman and Matthew J Altman of Douglas Elliman have the incredible listing, which was first reported by TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.
