Castillo del Lago- Madonna' s former Hills home



Address: Near the Lake Hollywood, East Hollywood Hills 90068, LA , USA
Status: For Sale
Price: $14,950,000
Former Owner(s): Madonna Louise Ciccone

Basic Voyeur: 1920'S Mansion high up in hills of hollywood, Nine bedrooms, wine cellar, even a look out tower, something of an area landmark, one in a kind of opportunity

Boyfrapp's View: This pink palace has something of a chequered history, before Madge it was owned by gangster Busgy Sigel ( don't ask we don't know) back in the 1930's then in 1993 the queen of pop brought the place partly because of its spanish revival and its secure feel thanks to that tower! According to M's little brother's bio she spent $5m on the place in 1993 then he spent a further $3m on renovations, brothers you just can't trust them! Not only was little bros work expensive it also cause some tension with the neighbours it was white then chris painted it pink with stripes. Which we actually quite like! Castillo became something off a poison property for M not only did it sell for around $5m three years later despite the $3m updating by brother chistopher, Madonna swiftly moved out after a stalker broke into the grounds one sunny afternoon (no it wasn't us!) since then no idea who been living there however we still think its a great house, unusual, pretty and castle like the only cons is that its in the wrong part of the Hollywood Hills 90068 is not as fashionable as 90069 daahlings' plus secure and private it may be but its a treck from the sunset strip and the celeb havens of beverly hills & bel air etc.............
