Los Angeles County saw four home sales around the $20-million mark during September, including deals involving a commercial real estate mogul, a Netflix executive and a boxing champion. Here’s a look at the high-water sales.

$25.5 million — Beverly Hills

Floyd Mayweather Jr. wasted little time in spending some of the $100-million purse he received from his fight against Conor McGregor. The now-retired boxer was the buyer of a French modern-style mansion on North Crescent Drive that sold for $25.5 million.

Developed by Nile Niami, the 1992-built residence was recently renovated and has nearly 15,100 square feet of refined living space. Features include mirrored wall fireplaces, a cocktail lounge/bar, a gym and a 20-person home theater.

A swimming pool and spa, pool house staff suite, guesthouse and four-car garage also lie within more than half an acre of grounds.

The property originally came to market two years ago for $38 million and was more recently listed for $28.95 million, records show. On top of the $25.5-million sale price, Mayweather paid another $500,000 for the high-end furnishings.

Drew Fenton of Hilton & Hyland, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, was the listing agent. Nichelle Robinson and Barbara Robinson, also with Hilton & Hyland, represented Mayweather.

In the 100 block of Bliss Canyon Road, a Palladian-style mansion that was once listed for as much as $78.8 million sold for about a third of that price.

The 35,000-square-foot home, which took commercial real estate magnate Donald Abbey nine years to build, is reached by a hand-cut, rock-wall driveway that ends at a massive porte-cochere.

Beyond the arched front doors are scaled formal rooms with 40-foot-high ceilings, a two-story library and a 2,000-bottle wine cellar. Domed ceilings feature hand-painted frescoes. A total of seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms includes two master suites.

Expansive loggias open to a swimming pool shaped like a stylized cross. A spa, a pool house, a temperature-controlled pond and a subterranean firing range also lie within about 8 acres of grounds.

Joshua and Matthew Altman, the Altman brothers of Douglas Elliman, were the listing agents. Runjing Chen of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage represented the buyer.

$23 million — Malibu

A bluff-top estate formerly owned by British hotelier Paul Kempin sold on Cliffside Drive for $2.75 million less than the asking price of $25.75 million.

Set behind gates in the Point Dume area, the European-vibe house has seven bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms in nearly 7,700 square feet of living space.

A two-story entry with a floating staircase sits just beyond the front door and opens to separate living and dining rooms. The master suite, which features an ocean-view terrace, and four en suite bedrooms make up the second floor.

Outdoors, more than an acre of park-like grounds includes various patios, a barbecue island and a swimming pool and spa.

Mia Trudeau of Hilton & Hyland and Chris Cortazzo of Coldwell Banker shared the listing. Cortazzo also represented the buyer, a corporate entity with a tax address based in Switzerland, according to public records.

The modern Italianate-vibe house sits behind walls and gates and has a private funicular that leads to the beach. A swimming pool and spa, an outdoor lounge and a two-bedroom guesthouse also lie within more than half an acre of grounds.

The three-story main house devotes the majority of its square footage to open-plan space and has a free-flowing living room, dining room and chef’s kitchen on the main floor. Pocketing glass doors open to expansive terraces for indoor-outdoor living.

Chris Cortazzo of Coldwell Banker was the listing agent. Jonah Wilson of Hilton & Hyland represented the buyer.

The Georgian-inspired traditional-style home, designed for small- and large-scale entertaining, features amenities such as a putting green, a lanai with a fireplace and a saltwater swimming pool. A poolside cabana holds an outdoor kitchen and an additional bath.

Some 13,050 square feet of neutral-tone interior includes a two-story entry, a chef’s kitchen, a library, a music room, seven bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. A two-way marble fireplace sits between the living and dining rooms.
