Quincy Jones’ Bel-Air estate bought for $200,000 now asks $34.85 million

 Quincy Jones spent decades turning a 2.3-acre Bel Air hillside into a private estate designed around his life, music and love of entertaining. The late record producer bought the land for $200,000 in 1972, then commissioned architect Gerald “Jerry” Allison to create a sprawling custom home inspired by a luxury resort in South Africa. The finished residence, completed in 2002, eventually became a roughly 25,000-square-foot retreat with five bedrooms, 17 bathrooms, a recording studio, cinema, pool and tennis court. As reported by Mansion Global, the estate is now asking $34.85 million after previously being listed for nearly $60 million. Quincy Jones spent decades turning a 2.3-acre Bel Air hillside into a private estate designed around his life, music and love of entertaining.
