The exquisite modern mansion, adorned in rich wood and luxurious marble and featuring a 6,000-pound brass floating fireplace, is set upon 1.45 guard-gated acres, offering ultimate security and privacy. Located at the end of a private cul-de-sac, embraced by lush landscaping, olive trees, and verdant greenery, the mansion was crafted in 2021 by Max Nobel of Nobel LA and boasts seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, soaring 40-foot ceilings complemented by exposed steel beams and a 65-foot pool.
Simmons, one of the most famous basketball players in the country, was traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Brooklyn Nets in 2022; he spends the majority of his time in New York and is ready to sell.
“This is a beautiful home that I’ve enjoyed, but because I spend most of my time on the East Coast, sadly, it often goes unused. It’s time to move on,” said Simmons, the 2018 NBA Rookie of the Year. “As an Australian native, where homes are often sold through auctions, I’m familiar with the process and am confident Concierge Auctions will find a suitable buyer on auction day.”
Designed with unique character and unparalleled craftsmanship, 24350 Bridle Trail Road showcases a facade crafted from vertical reclaimed wood and charcoal-hued brick, giving the residence a distinctively masculine feel. Beyond the gates, a driveway leads to two motor courts and a three-car garage.
The heart of the property is its great room, with double-height vaulted ceilings, panoramic windows, elegant Pietra marble floors and direct backyard access. The living room and formal dining room, divided by the custom floating brass fireplace, are filled with natural light. Two striking custom-design chandeliers, created by Preciosa Lighting, define the space. The contemporary kitchen seamlessly flows into the outdoor patio complete with a cozy fireplace, offering beautiful views of the pool. It lies off the great room and leads to a hidden professional-grade chef's kitchen, ideal for entertaining behind the scenes. The backyard space offers an alfresco dining area, a fireplace, and a cabana with myriad amenities including a video wall and a barbecue.
The primary suite includes a fireplace, seating area and a designer walk-in closet. The additional six bedrooms include en suite bathrooms and views overlooking the greenery. There is also a soundproof movie theater, a stunning gym (crafted by Simmons himself) and a Zen garden staircase with a bonsai tree leading to the upstairs bedrooms. A detached guest house with a custom bedroom, kitchenette, walk-in closet and private infinity plunge pool lies along the hillside of olive trees on the property.
“The buyer of this Hidden Hills modern retreat will experience true luxury in every way. Designed by Nobel LA, the home offers a private sanctuary for both relaxation and entertainment, with meticulous attention to detail evident in every corner," Salgado said. "From the floor-to-ceiling Italian brass fireplace to the al fresco dining area, state-of-the-art appliances and stunning 65-foot pool and spa, this is a true immersion into the ultimate living experience."
Hidden Hills lives up to its name as one of Southern California's most exclusive enclaves. Lying amidst the natural contours of the Santa Monica Mountains, about 30 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, the remote gated community offers unparalleled privacy and allure amongst just 1.7 square miles. Home to approximately 1,725 residents, there are three horse arenas and 25 miles of riding trails. Notably absent are sidewalks and streetlights. Hidden Hills is approximately 20 miles southeast of Malibu, providing quick access to the area's beautiful beaches and coastal amenities, and is conveniently located within reasonable driving distance of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
“Properties like this that offer unparalleled luxury, location, seclusion and privacy are the hallmark of what we offer, and what our buyers are looking for,” said Chad Roffers, CEO of Concierge Auctions. “Having worked with many high-profile sellers on the sale of their homes over the years, we’re honored Ben chose to work with us to ensure this unique residence is paired with a well-qualified buyer who will appreciate all it has to offer.”
