No one is buying that house because of the land, they're buying for the house. Which will be used as a private residence once Hugh is gone.

100 million is a tear down... Right.
My grand parents lived in a 1950s ranch style house (1/4 acre lot, 2000 sq/ft) in SoCal with no view and it sold for 1 million when they died 15 years ago.

But who knows, maybe they will turn it into a museum or a hotel?
I believe they brought Hef's exwife's house which was at one time also Playboy property. They plan to rejoin the properties as a private residence again when Hef dies.

Bah! They should turn it into a museum.

This (then) 11 year old used to look in awe at the pics from all those parties. Tons of scantily clad babes in the grotto with the likes of the Rolling Stones and other celebs partying like maniacs.

No, the buyer said he will use it as his private residence.

Not sure I would want to live at such a well known place. I would think the TMZ tour bus and other tourist gawkers would be a daily occurrence. Even the house from the Goonies has to deal with trespassers, I cannot even imagine the type of security need to keep people off your property at the Playboy mansion. Seems like drunk frat boys would be a constant middle of the night problem.

I wonder if the house comes with closets stocked full of silk pajamas and robes. Is that something you keep... Or burn and bury under a thick layer of steal and concret?
