Movie Set Estate in Sun Valley, Idaho Where Marilyn Monroe Starred In ‘Bus Stop’ Listed for Sale at $16 Million

Marilyn Monroe Starred in Hollywood
Prize-Winning 1956 'Bus Stop' Movie

 

SUN VALLLEY, IDAHO -- Blonde Bombshell Marilyn Monroe was one of Hollywood’s greatest sex symbols, still a beauty icon decades after her 1962 suicide.

 Her career as a top-billed star lasted just 10 years, but her films grossed over $200 million (equivalent to $2 billion today) and she took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress for her performance in Some Like it Hot.

Movie Set Estate in Sun Valley, Idaho
 Where Marilyn Monroe Starred
 In 1956 Prize-Winning
 ‘Bus Stop’ Movie 

She was known for playing “dumb blondes” for comedic effect, but the woman behind the character was a far more nuanced individual, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.

 

In 1956’s Bus Stop, directed by Pulitzer Prize-winner Joshua Logan, Monroe got her first chance to step outside the stereotype with a dramatic role. She studied at The Actor’s Studio to prepare for the film, which became both a critical and commercial success. 

Joshua Logan

A sprawling Idaho estate that served as one of Bus Stop’s main locations has now been listed for sale at $15.99 Million.

  Located in Sun Valley, Idaho, the twelve-acre property includes the main house, a guest house, and a barn set up for entertaining.

Lucille Ball

It is the guesthouse that once played host to Marilyn Monroe, portrayed as “Grace’s Diner” as well as the location for several other films.

Ernest Hemmingway 

The 2000-square-foot guesthouse features two beds, two-and-a-half baths, and lots of old Hollywood history. 

The nearby “party barn” is a 3000-square-foot event space that features a magnificent dormitory, a fully fitted kitchen, a living area, one-and-a-half baths, a terrace, a conservatory, and several heated garages.

Gary Cooper

 

The main house is a beautifully designed 6000-square-foot modern craftsman with five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, a study, and a spacious open floor plan that connects the living and dining areas.

Clark Gable

The home’s two levels and prominent windows showcase the spectacular mountain views. The home features warm mahogany wood accents and multiple stone fireplaces, a three-car garage, an outdoor hot tub, a huge fire pit, and several terraces with water features.

Errol Flynn

Breathtaking views of Bald Mountain, as well as the Smokey and Boulder Mountains, are visible from all three of the estate’s units.

Demi Moore

An artificial lake complete’s the property’s serene look and feel. Private and secluded, the estate is located far from the hustle and bustle of the city but close to the famous ski slopes of Sun Valley. 

 Tom Hanks

Sun Valley, Idaho is a resort town best known for its alpine ski area at Bald Mountain. The challenging slopes, substantial vertical drop, and lack of wind make “Baldy” one of the world’s best ski mountains, while nearby Dollar Mountain provides gentler slopes for novices and was the site of the world’s first chair lift.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

The region has been a seasonal haven for celebrities since the days of Hollywood’s Golden Age, hosting Ernest Hemmingway (who wrote For Whom the Bells Tolls while staying at the Sun Valley Lodge), Gary Cooper, Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, Lucille Ball, and, of course, Marilyn Monroe.

Bruce Willis

It continues to draw notables to this day, with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Ashton Kutcher, Clint Eastwood, Demi Moore, and Tom Hanks owning vacation homes in the area.

Clint Eastwood

The listing is held by Engel & Völkers Sun Valley in Ketchum, Idaho. 

Ashton Kutcher

GreenRock Leads Record-Setting $103 million in C-PACE Funding for Chinese Hospital in San Francisco, CA

Dr. Jian Zhang

 SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jan. 27, 2022 – Today, GreenRock Capital LLC (GreenRock) successfully led $103 million in Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) funding for Chinese Hospital in San Francisco. 

This is the largest single commercial PACE transaction in the PACE industry history and is the first to combine both taxable and tax-exempt financing in the same transaction.  

Joe Euphrat

This C-PACE financing reduced the cost of financing seismic and other building improvements associated with a new patient tower.

This transaction will refinance outstanding debt associated with the new tower and by doing so, Chinese Hospital will realize respective cashflow savings of over $40 million during the next 10 years.

 “This transaction is of great benefit to Chinese Hospital. We thank GreenRock for structuring, leading and successfully closing this exciting and important transaction,” says Jian Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of Chinese Hospital.

“This transaction not only helped to finance efficient building improvements but also helped Chinese Hospital to improve its cashflow significantly, which of course is important to any hospital during this period of time.” 

 “Efficient building improvements and lower costs – a great win/win,” says Joe Euphrat, Managing Principal of GreenRock.

James Hamill

“GreenRock is both excited and proud that we were able to provide valuable assistance to Chinese Hospital, an important member of the San Francisco healthcare community.

 "I also want to thank Poppy Bank, Jones Hall, and the rest of the transaction team who all contributed to a successful closing.”

 “We are very happy that CSCDA’s OpenPACE program allowed Chinese Hospital to realize the structural and economic benefits associated with this transaction,” says James Hamill, Managing Director of the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA).

 “This is the largest C-PACE transaction that we have ever done, and we are grateful to GreenRock for their support and expertise to marshall this complex transaction to a successful closing.”

 C-PACE is a financing mechanism that allows owners and developers of commercial and healthcare properties to access low-cost, long-term financing for efficient building improvements, including seismic and other resiliency measures. The financing is repaid through a property assessment payment paid through the term of financing.

 Morgan Adams

ALISO VIEJO, CA, Jan. 27, 2022 – Stream Realty Partners has just completed the largest office building sale in Aliso Viejo in the past 24 months.

 The national real estate services, development, and investment company represented Lone Cypress Realty, a Fort Worth, Texas-based real estate investment company, in the $10.5 million sale of VIEW at 101 Columbia adjacent to the San Joaquin Hills Corridor.

VIEW at 101 Columbia office building, Aliso Viejo, CA

Holt Integrated Circuits, an integrated circuits supplier for the aerospace industry, acquired the Class B, 38,154-square-foot building.

 

 It plans to use the ground floor for warehousing and the second floor for corporate offices.

 

 The property was renovated in 2020 with modern entry finishes and light fixtures as well as updated two-tone exterior paint.

 

The amenity-rich area boasts 721 restaurants, 531 retailers, and 6 gyms within a 5-mile radius.

Mike Adams

“Given the limited number of large lease transactions in the area, we suggested that Lone Cypress Realty put the building on the market for sale or lease to catch a wide net of prospects,”said Mike Adams, Managing Director of Stream Greater Los Angeles.

 

“During the marketing process, we dug into the market and presented three strong options either in the form of single user/long-term leases or purchase options. Lone Cypress ultimately chose the purchase option because it best fit their investment criteria.”

Steven Rawls

 

Adams and Morgan Adams, an Associate at Stream Greater L.A., represented Lone Cypress Realty in the transaction.

 

“We selected Stream because of their aggressive marketing approach and tenacity,” said Steven Rawls, founder of Lone Cypress Realty.

 

 “They have a solid reputation in Southern California and the South County submarket, and I knew they would make sure that 101 Columbia would get a look from every potential tenant. Stream surpassed all of our expectations.”
