Behind Bel Air’s coveted East Gate, a legendary private estate known as Rosewood has quietly entered the rental market — and it comes with a monthly price tag of $175,000.
Located at 500 St. Cloud Road, the grand Georgian-style residence spans roughly 23,000 square feet across 1.5+ acres of manicured grounds, offering nine bedrooms, a staggering number of bathrooms, and a lineup of amenities typically reserved for luxury resorts and historic estates. Michael Nourmand and Adam Sires of Nourmand & Associates hold the listing.
Designed by acclaimed architect Richard Manion, the property blends formal European architecture with over-the-top entertainment spaces including a massive ballroom for 120 people, a championship tennis court, and even a 12-car showroom garage set with an old school soda fountain diner.
And wait until you see what it looks like inside!
A grand Georgian estate hidden inside one of Bel Air’s most private enclaves
Rosewood sits behind the neighborhood’s prestigious East Gate, placing it among the most secure and discreet addresses in Bel Air.
A gated motor court leads to a stately red-brick façade accented with limestone details, traditional columns, custom moldings, and classic blue shutters — giving the estate the look of an old-world European manor rather than a modern Los Angeles home.
Sprawling European manor spanning 23,000 square feet
Worthy of a Bridgerton setting, the palatial residence stretches across approximately 23,000 square feet, surrounded by pristine lawns, formal gardens, and resort-style outdoor amenities.
An entry crowned by a skylight and sweeping spiral staircase
Inside, the home opens to a showstopping foyer anchored by black-and-white marble floors and a grand spiral staircase.
Above it all sits an oval skylight dome that floods the entry with natural light, immediately setting the tone for the scale and formality found throughout the residence.
Timeless luxury finishes throughout
High ceilings, intricate millwork, and marble fireplaces continue across the home’s main entertaining rooms.
Formal living spaces framed by French doors and garden views
The formal living and dining rooms are designed for large-scale entertaining, with soaring ceilings, detailed moldings, and expansive French doors opening directly to terraces and landscaped grounds.
With marble fireplaces, views of the gardens
Marble fireplaces anchor the rooms, while long sightlines keep the outdoor gardens visually connected to nearly every major space.
Wraparound terraces extend the entertaining footprint well beyond the interior.
A gourmet kitchen with butler’s pantry
At the heart of the estate sits a chef’s kitchen outfitted with marble surfaces, bespoke cabinetry, premium appliances, and a large central island.
A full butler’s pantry supports formal entertaining, while the kitchen flows directly into more relaxed living and dining areas that open to outdoor terraces.
With ample space to host dinners (for an entire crowd)
The layout makes it easy to host both grand events and everyday gatherings without disrupting the home’s formal spaces.
A bespoke mahogany office with rich woodwork offers a stately workspace
Throughout the home, high ceilings, custom moldings, marble fireplaces, and coffered ceilings reinforce its formal Georgian style.
A bespoke mahogany office with rich woodwork offers a stately workspace, while French doors appear across multiple rooms to maintain a strong indoor-outdoor connection.
The estate includes elevator service to all levels, generous storage, and layered security systems designed for high-profile residents.
The palatial primary suite has a ceiling medallion and Old World charm
Upstairs, the primary suite functions as its own royalty-ready private wing, complete with a sitting room, fireplace, terrace access, and expansive walk-in closets. Lavish yet restrained, the space is a designer-perfect modern take on Old World opulence.
Four additional guest suites share the upper level, each designed with privacy and generous proportions in mind.
Two marble bathrooms for the primary bedroom alone
Two separate marble bathrooms serve the suite, reinforcing the estate’s palace-like scale.
A lower-level ballroom designed for 120-person events
The estate’s lower level is dedicated almost entirely to entertaining and wellness — highlighted by an elegant oak-paneled ballroom complete with its own stage and bar that would make even the cast of Bridgerton swoon.
Designed to accommodate up to 120 guests, the space feels closer to a private event venue than a residential room.
Surrounding it are a wine cellar, secondary kitchen, gym, massage room, and an additional guest suite.
Equally impressive grounds with tennis court, pool, and garden structures
Outside, Rosewood unfolds like a private country club.
The grounds feature a North-South championship tennis court, pool and spa, fountains, expansive lawns, and multiple alfresco entertaining areas with built-in bar and BBQ zones.
Conservatory, gazebo, and a treehouse tucked among the landscaping
Adding to that whimsical Regency-like vibe, the property also features a gazebo and a conservatory.
There’s even a treehouse tucked among the landscaping, adding a whimsical touch to the otherwise formal estate setting.
A 12-car showroom garage with a vintage soda fountain diner
Below the home sits one of its most unexpected features: a showroom-style garage level capable of displaying up to 12 vehicles.
The space is designed like a private auto gallery — polished, expansive, and theatrical — paired with a nostalgic soda fountain diner that feels straight out of mid-century Americana.
Staff quarters, elevator access to all levels, enhanced security systems, and extensive storage are also housed below.
Living in one of Bel Air’s landmark estates comes at a premium
Massive estates of this scale rarely appear on the rental market in Los Angeles, particularly ones combining formal European architecture with resort-level amenities and event-ready spaces.
With its ballroom, tennis court, auto gallery, and palace-like interiors, Rosewood stands apart even among Bel Air’s most impressive properties.
For $175,000 / month, the next tenant will be living in one of the neighborhood’s true landmark estates, stepping in the shoes of Los Angeles royalty.
