'Sportsman's Estate' Has It All

There is just no risk of getting bored at 2 Pine Tree Lane in Rolling Hills.

The sprawling "Sportman's Estate" spans more than 2 1/2 acres and includes a pool, indoor racquetball court, home gym, soccer pitch, (paddle) tennis court, home theater and game room. Even with that exhaustive list, we're probably missing something.

Of course, a unique and enormous house like this (6br/8ba, 12,500 sq. ft.) is going to have its price: $7.985M.

Lots of land, big views (ocean and city) and all of those over-the-top extras put a home like this into that price territory. But if you compare this playland at 2 Pine Tree to some kind of comparable property in Beverly Hills or similar areas in Los Angeles, even $8M looks like a deal.

Close followers of Palos Verdes-area real estate may remember this property. It was listed for a long time, starting in July 2013 all the way through last November. A different broker had the listing, and for most of that time the asking price was higher: $8.700M.

The new agent has gotten an outstanding set of photos, worthy of the property, including aerial shots, and wrote an inspiring description of the home. (Naming the property the "Ultimate Sportsman's Estate" was a stroke of brilliance. Some homes really do deserve names or labels like that.)

Not all of us can afford an $8M house (really!), but we can all appreciate it online, and dream a little dream. We're providing several photos here, but see the full listing for the complete set.
