BEL AIR, CA -- Cheryl Tiegs was
America’s favorite model in the 1970s and ‘80s as the three-time cover girl for Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues,
four-time covers on People and
three times at Time.
Her ‘70’s posters in a white fishnet bathing
suit and then her pink bikini photo solidified her role as America’s first
baby-boomer supermodel.
Almost
as beautiful as Cheryl, her Balinese-style Bel Air home is for sale at $18.5
million, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.

Tiegs’ enclave is
situated on 1.43 lush acres behind gates that open to a long drive giving
privacy and entrance into something that feels much more like the deep tropics
than suburban Los Angeles.
Perched on a
promontory with 180-degree views, it is awash in palm trees, huge Monstera
vines and tropical flowers throughout the home’s landscape and pathways.
The house itself is a study in bold natural
elements, textures and colors from fabrics, floors, dark-wood beams, glass
walls opening to vegetation and stunning views.
The 4,770-square-foot
house has five bedrooms, five baths, chef’s kitchen with large butcher block
island, huge open spaces for entertaining both inside and out, a wine cellar,
pool, guest house and three-car garage.
Cheryl began modeling when she was 17 appearing on the covers of Glamour, Seventeen and Elle.

Ahead of her time and a natural entrepreneur,
Cheryl was noted for being first at many things we take for granted today
including the first model to start a signature line of clothing and
accessories, which were sold exclusively at Sears.
Tiffany Mills |
During the 10-year life of that business,
almost a billion dollars of her merchandise was sold.
With her
modeling career taking her all over the world, Cheryl was able to pick from her
own experiences how she wanted to live.
When it came time to
buy her own home, she found solace and inspiration in the Balinese way of life
and duplicated that environment in her own Southern California home.
Bel Air was
originally developed in the 1920s by oilman and tennis-champion Alphonzo
Bell Sr. intended as something similar to Beverly Hills but without the
celebrities.
Despite Alphonzo’s plans, celebrities who now
make Bel Air home include Cheryl, Jennifer Aniston, Jay-Z and Beyonce.
Jade Mills |
Also not far from
Cheryl’s home is a 1930’s Bel Air estate that is the most expensive home
currently for sale in the United States at $225 million.
Jade
Mills and Tiffany Mills of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, Beverly Hills are the
listing agents for the Tiegs property.
