European-style villa is on track to set a price record in Beverly Hills ‘flats’ area

All aboard.

Take the train and check out this huge estate owned by real estate developer Alan Casden in the area known as the Beverly Hills “flats.” In addition to a 26,800-square-foot mansion, two guesthouses and a sunken tennis court, miniature locomotives wind through the 1.68-acre property.

The asking price of $58.888 million makes it the most expensive residential estate ever offered in the neighborhood.

The elegant manor, built by architect Budd Holden in 1990, is entered by a large courtyard set behind gates.

Marble fireplaces and coffered ceilings highlight the living spaces, which include a classic grand salon, a formal dining room and a living room.

The main residence features eight bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, including a 5,000-square-foot master suite. Other amenities include a two-story wine cellar, a two-story wood-paneled library, a billiards room and a theater room.

A resort-style pool with a waterfall and slide sits out back, surrounded by a tiled patio and manicured lawns. The two guesthouses add an extra 4,800 square feet of living space.

Christophe Choo of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury is the listing agent.
