The sprawling estate of Bing Crosby has hit the market for $40 million after remaining in his family’s hands for more than half a century. The magnificent 13,635-square-foot French chateau-style residence, featuring a staggering 11 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, is set to shatter the area’s previous record of $30 million set by the sale of Elon Musk’s property in 2021. Situated on 5.38 acres, the house was originally built in 1929 and blends timeless elegance with historic significance. Crosby lived in the home with his wife Kathryn and their three children. The couple made major renovations to the property, adding unique antique furniture and wood paneling from the collection of William Randolph Hearst, who was a close friend of Bing’s. Bing's custom dressing room has largely remained in tact, as does the library with its fireplace, built-in bookcase, and paintings of desert landscapes.
