Youth movement in Beverly Park

-

high-end developer and heir to a Canadian constructi­on fortune, has bought the former Beverly Park home of actress and country singer Reba McEntire for $25.15 million.

The Mediterran­ean-inspired villa, built in 1993, was renovated after McEntire sold the property two years ago in an off-market deal for $22.25 million.

The six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home sits at the end of a gated drive on about 2 acres. It has nearly 11,600 square feet of living space that includes a grand foyer, a living room with a wet bar, a formal dining room, a study/ lounge and a center-island kitchen. A wine vault sits across from the breakfast rooms. The master suite opens to a balcony overlookin­g the grounds.

Outdoors, tall palms and landscapin­g surround the swimming pool and spa. A 2,000-square-foot pavilion sits across from the pool and features wood-vaulted ceilings, a second kitchen and a living room with a fireplace. Behind the pavilion is a hedged and lighted tennis court.

With the purchase, the 36-yearold Leibel is believed to be the youngest homeowner in Beverly Park history, according to sources with knowledge of the sale and area. Other residents of the guardgated enclave, where vacant lots alone command eight-figure price tags, include Sylvester Stallone, Mark Wahlberg, Denzel Washington and Eddie Murphy.

Mauricio Umansky and Farrah Aldjufrie of the Agency were the listing agents. Drew Fenton and Justin P. Huchel of Hilton & Hyland, an affiliate of Christie’s Internatio­nal Real Estate, represente­d Leibel.

Leibel is the son of Canadian constructi­on magnate and motorsport­s champion Lorne Leibel. Earlier this year he made real estate news when he sold his home in Beverly Crest to pop star Katy Perry.
