Oakley Founder Lists His Beverly Hills Mansion for $68M

Following the record-breaking sale of his Malibu mansion for $210 million, Oakley founder James Jannard has now listed his distinctive Beverly Hills residence for $68 million.

Unique Architectural Design

Perched on a 2-acre promontory in the prestigious Trousdale Estates, this cement, aluminum, and glass fortress stands out starkly from its surroundings. Inspired by Stonehenge, Jannard and his iDGroup architects designed a home with a futuristic aesthetic, featuring Brutalist interiors with high ceilings, concrete walls and floors, custom furniture, an industrial fireplace, and a state-of-the-art kitchen.

Luxurious Features

The property, which Jannard bought in 2009 for $19.9 million, includes five bedrooms, ten bathrooms, and spans 18,000 square feet. Key amenities include a theater, gym, elevator, wine cellar, and an infinity pool. The home also boasts expansive glass walls that provide an indoor-outdoor flow, with some walls retracting into the ground.

Comfortable Accommodations

Despite its industrial design, the residence offers comfort with wood floors and abundant natural light in the bedrooms and bathrooms. It is designed to provide luxurious accommodation for both residents and guests.

Contrasts with Malibu Estate

This Beverly Hills home presents a stark contrast to Jannard's recently sold Malibu estate, which included 300 feet of shoreline, a formal rose garden, tennis court, guesthouse, staff quarters, putting green, and a pavilion. The sale of the Malibu estate set a California record.

Jannard's Real Estate Ventures

At 75, Jannard is known for his success as a product designer, inventor, and entrepreneur. Besides founding Oakley and Red Digital Cinema Camera Company, his extensive real estate portfolio includes properties in Malibu, Newport Beach, and islands in Fiji and the Pacific Northwest.
