Steve McQueen's House and Garage - Back on The Market?
 |
Description:
Please stay tuned to this site and this posting because the situation may change in the future as it is a complicated short sale scenario for the buyers, sellers and the banks involved.
The current owners had reduced the price $1,151,000 from their original asking price. Due to that low price of only $799K, they received multiple offers that drove the selling price up (but we cannot say how much because the deal is still in escrow).
Call me at 877-781-5128 because I'm the only agent that can be your buyer rep. on this deal .. according to me. Seriously, if you're interested then let's talk.

A Santa Paula ranch once owned by actor Steve McQueen and his third wife, Barbara Minty, has come on the market and it can be yours!
Built in 1892, the house has period detailing and antique stained glass windows, but has been updated with commercial-grade kitchen fixtures and appliances.
The ranch includes 3 acres of Syrah vineyards, fruit trees, a 3-acre equestrian facility and the airplane hangar where McQueen kept his prestigious car collection.
The "King of Cool" and Ms. Minty moved into the Santa Paula, California, home in 1979 and married in the living room of the Victorian home in 1980.
The "King of Cool" apparently found a measure of peace in Santa Paula, Calif., where he could stash his collection of cars, planes, and motorcycles, and the locals didn't seem to think it was such a big deal that a legendary movie star was living in their midst.
Steve McQueen had largely turned away from Hollywood when he settled in the town, about 75 miles northwest of Los Angeles, in 1979. Drawn there, according to biographers, by the town's reputation as the vintage-plane capital of America, the tough-boy icon purchased a nearby 15.33-acre ranch with an 1892 cottage and a 4,200-square-foot hangar that he stuffed with dirt bikes, Indian motorcycles and rare sports cars.
McQueen, who became one of the world's highest-paid actors in the 1960s, honed an image of toughness in such noted films as "Bullitt," "The Great Escape," and "The Cincinnati Kid."
But he started turning down most roles in the 1970s, focusing instead on auto and motorcycle racing and traveling the back roads of the West. He purchased two vintage Stearman biplanes and persuaded a Santa Paula local to become his flight instructor.
