Former Spelling mansion sells for nearly $120 million

The Manor was built in 1991 for late producer Aaron Spelling and his widow, Candy Spelling. She then sold it to its current owner Petra Ecclestone, daughter of Formula One billionaire Bernie Ecclestone, for $85 million in an all-cash deal eight years ago.

Nicknamed “Candyland” during the Spellings’ reign, the W-shaped estate introduced extravagance unrivaled at the time: 20-plus customized rooms including a flower-cutting room, a humidity-controlled silver storage room, a barbershop and multiple gift-wrapping rooms.

A French wine and cheese room was furnished with sidewalk-cafe-style tables and chairs — plus French music. A one-lane bowling alley featured its own shoe closet.

A staff of 30 was employed to run the place.
