Brutalist Mansion Custom Built For Basketball Legend Listed For Nearly $12 Million

Los Angeles Laker Wilt Chamberlin Hired Architect David Rich To Design The Estate

By Dolores Quintana

This mansion, at 15216 Antelo Place, is an unparalleled property that is not quite like any other. It is a true architectural marvel. Designed by renowned architect David Rich, inspired by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright, and built for basketball icon Wilt Chamberlain, this Belair estate is named “URSA MAJOR”. The five-bedroom and eight-bathroom property is currently listed for sale for $11,995 million as reported by Mansion Global.com. The estate has 9,395 square feet of living space and sits on a 2.513-acre lot. 

It is nestled atop a 2.5-acre promontory on a tranquil cul-de-sac, the property boasts breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean and the Los Angeles city skyline, Stone Canyon reservoir, and the valley below.

This five-story masterpiece seamlessly blends grandeur and modernity. The soaring cathedral ceiling of the five-story living room, adorned with walls of windows, majestic tree-like columns, and Bouquet Canyon stone, creates an awe-inspiring ambiance. Meticulously renovated to incorporate contemporary amenities and luxurious materials, the estate features a media room, billiard room, gym, redwood sauna, and an outdoor kitchen, offering endless opportunities for indoor and outdoor entertainment.

The picturesque grounds are a verdant oasis, with lush gardens providing a scenic backdrop. A standout feature is the extraordinary swimming pool, reminiscent of a personal lake, which wraps around the residence—a testament to the property’s exclusivity, as current building codes prohibit such unique designs. For the ultimate convenience, residents can swim directly from the outdoor pool into the main house, a rare and distinctive attribute.

The brutalist architectural design is softened by ample glazing, allowing abundant natural light to permeate the interior spaces. The rich character and historical significance of this residence remain unmatched. The motor court and garages, located behind gated access, have space for up to ten vehicles. Additionally, a substantial climate-controlled storage structure is available on the premises.

This remarkable estate represents the epitome of magnificent architecture, offering complete privacy and security within a prestigious celebrity enclave. The listing is held by Bobby Syed of  Coldwell Banker Realty and you can get more information at his website.
