Music icon Quincy Jones’s custom-built Bel-Air estate is drawing renewed attention after a significant price reduction as it remains on the market.
Where Q Called Home
Jones, the celebrated producer behind Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” “Off the Wall,” and “Bad,” died in November 2024 at age 91. His nearly 25,000-square-foot Bel-Air residence first listed in May 2025 with an asking price of $60 million.
The sprawling 24,920-square-foot property is now priced at approximately $46 million following a $9 million reduction, according to Mansion Global, citing listing information from Zillow and Compass.
The home was custom built for Jones in 2002 and reflects a level of personalization that can make even spectacular celebrity estates harder to sell.
Ultra-custom luxury homes often mirror the tastes and lifestyle of their original owner so closely that they appeal to a narrower pool of buyers, despite their scale and prestige, Mansion Global reported.
Jones’ daughter, actress Rashida Jones, previously described the 2.3-acre property as far more than a display of wealth.
Perched on a promontory in Lower Bel Air, the estate offers sweeping views that stretch from the Los Angeles skyline and the San Gabriel Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, according to Mansion Global and Robb Report.
“My father loved his home so much,” Rashida Jones told The Wall Street Journal in May 2025, when the house was put on the market. “He created it from the ground up with his boundless imagination.”
The mansion was designed by architect Gerald “Jerry” Allison, known for high-end hospitality projects around the world.
Allison drew inspiration from South Africa’s famed Palace of the Lost City, shaping a bold, resort-style residence that blends dramatic architecture with warm luxury, according to Mansion Global.
At the center of the home is a grand dome-ceilinged living room anchored by a built-in bar and library, Robb Report reported.
A sunlit, double-height atrium flows into a wine bar, cellar and tasting room, which connect to an indoor garden that softens the scale of the interior, according to Mansion Global.
True to Jones’ legacy, the estate also includes a professional recording studio large enough to host full music sessions, Mansion Global reported.
The residence contains five bedrooms, eight full bathrooms and nine half-baths, according to Mansion Global.
The primary suite occupies its own wing and includes multiple walk-in closets, a private gym, a den, a balcony with panoramic views and a spa-style bathroom, Mansion Global reported.
Additional amenities include a screening room, office space with a reception area, a security office and an elevator, according to Mansion Global.
The grounds are designed for entertaining and relaxation, with manicured gardens, multiple terraces and verandas, an infinity-edge pool and spa, alfresco gathering areas and a lighted tennis court, according to Robb Report.
The features give the estate the feel of a private resort.
