The Home Of Late Comedy Legend Richard Pryor Where He Set Himself On Fire In 1980 Was Just Listed For 4 36 Million

The home, officially known as Hacienda de los Suenos, is located in Northridge’s Sherwood Forest community. And its official listing notes it’s had a fascinating story even outside of the showbiz realm: “This remarkable property boasts a captivating history, transitioning from its roots as an early California citrus plantation to its current status as a sought-after celebrity compound with unrivaled amenities. This is a legal Horse property, although no horses have been on the property for over 30 years.” Resting on 2.2 acres of lush landscaping, the property is actually more of a complex, sprawling across 9,000 square feet of interior living space between its six separate structures. In the main house, you’ll find four beds and four baths, plus amenities like a billiard room and general game room. There’s a guest house, a professional dance studio or gym that the listing says could be converted into a recording space, an office, a children’s playhouse, and a garage with room for three cars. Of course, there’s room for many more cars than that in the property’s designated event parking area, making it a great spot for prolific entertainers (not just comedians). And it’s just as impressive outdoors as it is in: “The outdoor oasis is a spectacle in itself, featuring a enormous resort-style pool with spa and cascading waterfall. A barbecue pavilion, tennis court, putting green, citrus grove, vegetable garden, and expanses of groomed lawns create an idyllic setting for relaxation and recreation. Indulge in additional luxuries such as a sauna, kitchen in the pool house, wine closet, and more, ensuring every aspect of refined living is catered to.” Mendenhall reportedly purchased the property in 2017, paying $2.5 million at that time. That was just a couple years after he retired from the NFL and ended up being a writer and story consultant for the HBO series “Ballers,” although his IMDb page doesn’t show any other writing credits since then.
