Stewart bought the three-acre lot in 1991 for about $12 million. Three decades later, he listed the home for $70 million.
That’s the story of the Rod Stewart house in North Beverly Park. It has a speakeasy, two gyms, a guest house, and its own lit soccer field.
Here’s what’s inside, what makes it different from other LA mega-mansions, and what happened when he tried to sell it. The price tag didn’t move the way you’d expect.
Where Is the Rod Stewart Mansion?
The estate sits in North Beverly Park, a guard-gated community high in the mountains between Coldwater and Benedict Canyon. It has two layers of security. One guarded gate protects the neighborhood, and double gates sit at the end of the long driveway.
You can’t see the house from the street. Gates and trees shield it completely.
The neighbors are a who’s who. Roughly 70 homes share the enclave, and owners include Justin Bieber, Adele, Denzel Washington, and Magic Johnson.
Inside the Rod Stewart House: Design and Main Rooms
Stewart had Richard Landry design the home in the 1990s. Landry has also built homes for Eddie Murphy, Mark Wahlberg, and Tom Brady.
The listing calls the style an “English Country Estate.” The exterior is a bold yellow, and one outlet described it as canary-colored.
Kitchen, Tea Room and Dining
The kitchen was designed with catering in mind. Two sitting rooms flank it. One is for tea, and the other is a den with a fireplace.
That’s a very British touch. And honestly, a dedicated tea room is the detail I’d miss most if I lived anywhere else.
The formal dining room seats about 20 guests and sits close to a temperature-controlled wine room. Throughout the house, several wood-burning fireplaces add to the Old World feel.
Primary Suite, Bathrooms and Closets
A double staircase leads up to the private quarters. The primary suite has dual bathrooms, huge closets, and a large covered terrace over the pool.
The two bathrooms are one pink and one green. That’s a bold choice, and I love it.
There’s also a large walk-in closet that holds Stewart’s shoe collection. Guest suites come with oversized bathrooms and closets, and some have private terraces.
Outdoor Space: Pool, Gardens and Guest House
Outside, you’ll find lounge areas around the pool and a jetted spa. A built-in barbecue sits near an outdoor fireplace.
The grounds also include a five-car garage and a massive motor court. And the three-story, 4,500-square-foot guest house means visitors get real privacy.
Add the main house and guest house together, and the total comes to about 33,000 square feet.
The Soccer Field: The Detail Everyone Remembers
Let’s talk about the pitch. This is the feature that sets the Rod Stewart house apart from every other Beverly Park listing.
It’s a lit soccer field, about 60 by 120 feet, converted from a tennis court. That’s smaller than a regulation pitch, so “full-size” overstates it a little. It’s still rare to find one at a private home.
The field makes sense once you know Stewart. He’s a devoted fan of Scottish club Celtic. He played seriously well into his 60s.
Former Ireland striker Robbie Keane has said Stewart invited him and others to play on it.
Key takeaway: The soccer field turns this from a nice mansion into a home built around one man’s hobby.
Did Rod Stewart Sell His Beverly Park Mansion?
Not as far as I can tell. I couldn’t find a record of a sale.
Stewart said he planned to make England his permanent base after finishing his tour and Las Vegas residency. His family moved back to the UK in 2016 and now lives in Essex.
But the goodbye wasn’t easy. He told People he didn’t want to sell, and his kids didn’t want him to either. Later reports say he struggled to sell, then changed his mind and kept the property.
Listings change fast, so check current records before you quote the status.
Is the Rod Stewart House Worth the Hype?
For me, yes. Plenty of Beverly Park mansions have marble and chandeliers. Few have a speakeasy, a tea room, and a lit soccer pitch.
The history adds to the appeal. A land purchase of about $12 million became a $70 million listing, then an $80 million relisting, then a $74 million cut. And the owner couldn’t quite let go.
