Music producer Richard Perry has officially beat it out of Beverly Hills, selling his home of six years for $8.535 million.

Perry bought the home six years ago for $7.2 million and lived there with actress Jane Fonda, his partner at the time. The couple announced last year that they were ending their relationsh­ip of nearly a decade; Fonda has since decamped to Century City, where she bought a town home in a gated community for $5.45 million.

The gated contempora­ry home, built in 1961 and since renovated, was previously owned by late television director John Rich. It features clean lines, beamed ceilings and a glass-walled elevator. Large double-glazed windows take in leafy backyard views.

Within more than 7,500 square feet are an updated kitchen, a large great room, four bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. The lower level holds a recording studio, media room and diner-style wet bar. The master suite has a sitting room and an adjoining office.

A paver patio encloses a solarheate­d swimming pool in the backyard. Elsewhere are a meditation garden, a fire pit and a lookout point for enjoying canyon-toocean views.

Perry, 75, is credited with scores of popular music hits during the 1960s and ’70s and has won producer of the year awards from Rolling Stone and Billboard magazines. He has produced hit albums and singles for such artists as Rod Stewart, Carly Simon and the Pointer Sisters.

Jade Mills and Valerie Fitzgerald of Coldwell Banker Residentia­l Brokerage were the listing agents. Jonathan Nash and Stephen Resnick of Hilton & Hyland, an affiliate of Christie’s Internatio­nal Real Estate, represente­d the buyer.
