Leonard Ross, current owner of the Hearst estate in Beverly Hills, has decided to take the property off the market. The home, which was up for sale for $165 million, was at one time the most expensive home listing on the market. The property, which sparked interest in several potential buyers, was placed on the market last summer. However, it failed to spur sufficient interest to entice a buyer into putting in an offer. The Mediterranean-style property that spans more than six acres in size was once the home of William Randolph Hearst, a former newspaper magnate.

According to real estate agent Stephen Shapiro, Ross simply changed his mind as he felt attached to the property.

The Beverly Hills property boasts numerous extravagant features, including 72,000 ft.² of living space that embodies tennis courts as well as swimming pools. Additional features include vaulted ceilings, a large library, and three separate living structures on the property. The front of the home features an elaborate landscape consisting of shaped shrubs and garden sculptures.

It is unclear what Ross wants to do with the property, however, it is expected that he will retain the property without re-listing it for a good amount of time.
