Former Spelling mansion sells for nearly $120 million

Ecclestone originally shopped the limestone-draped mega-mansion as a pocket listing in 2014 at $150 million before bringing it to market in 2016 at a 33% premium: $200 million.

At the time of the sale, it was on the market for $160 million.

The $119.75-million closing weighs in as the priciest sale in California history, edging out a neoclassical-style mansion in the affluent Silicon Valley community of Woodside that sold for $117.5 million in 2013.
