Sheryl Crow purchased this home in March of 1993 for $885k, which means she profited over $10 million when she sold it in 2014 for $11 million. She sold the property to Alan Ball, famed writer/director/producer of "Six Feet Under," "American Beauty," "True Blood," among others.

The gated compound, nestled into an up-sloping valley at the base of Runyon Canyon, has three residences that together encompass more than 10,0000-square feet. The Spanish Revival style main house has four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms plus a double-height entry, library, wine cellar, music room and an eat-in kitchen. A footbridge over the driveway links the main house to the two other residences, an early 20th-century Craftsman-style home with four bedrooms and three bathrooms and a late 19th-century cottage with three bedrooms, two bathrooms. Pathways meander throughout the property that includes a children’s playground, a campsite, a teepee, several palapas, and a resort-style infinity edged swimming pool.
