Having originally bought this spectacular home in Thousand Oaks nearly two decades ago, hockey’s greatest superstar, Wayne Gretzky and his wife, Janet, soon hired architect Richard Landry to redesign the vast 6.5 acre property.
In 2007, the couple moved out, selling it to baseball-star-turned-financial-advisor Lenny Dykstra, who subsequently had to sell the home having gone into foreclosure.
The Gretzkys bought it back in 2018 for $14.9 million and turned the stunning home back into a beautiful celebrity home (as Dykstra had reportedly trashed the mansion) and now it's back on the market for the princely sum of $22.9 million.
Perched on the crest of a hill with breathtaking 360-degree views of the Santa Monica Mountains and Lake Sherwood, this impressive home boasts several buildings, with two detached guest houses and formally landscaped gardens.
Designed in a Colonial Revival-style, the interior features an enormous 13,276 square feet of living space, with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms.
