Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne put Hidden Hills estate on the market
Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne have listed their Hidden Hills estate for sale at $12,999,000.
The 2.5-acre promontory sits off a cul-de-sac in the gated community. The Cape Cod-inspired mansion, built in 2001 and featured in the June issue of Architectural Digest, may not be what one might expect from the couple. The house has a paneled study with fireplace, a home theater and studio area, six en suite bedrooms and a guest apartment with kitchenette. The family room of the 11,000-square-foot home has sliding barn doors and a reclaimed brick fireplace.
The grounds include a swimming pool, spa and a barbecue island. A bathroom by the pool raises the total number of baths to 10.
Sharon Osbourne, 58, is a judge on “America’s Got Talent” (2007-present) and a co-host on “The Talk” (2010-present). She also is the manager of Ozzy, 62, formerly lead singer of Black Sabbath before launching his solo career. He has sold more than 100 million albums over four decades and will be on tour again in Europe next month.
They have owned the property since 2007, when they bought it for $12,388,500. That’s just long enough for Sharon Osbourne to have thoughts of moving again.
“I get itchy feet,” she said in the AD interview. “We’ve never stayed in any place longer than seven years.”
The couple also have a Malibu beach house for sale at $9.5 million.
Tomer Fridman of Ewing & Associates Sothebys, Calabasas, is the listing agent for the Hidden Hills property, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
