J.Lo and Ben Affleck List Beverly Crest Estate for $68M

With their marriage apparently headed toward the rocks, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have decided to formally list their 38,000-square-foot mansion in Beverly Crest for $68 million.

The estranged A-list couple, who bought the estate a year ago after touring 80 properties, have put the 5.2-acre compound at 2571 Wallingford Drive on the market, Mansion Global reported.

After three failed attempts to buy a mansion, J.Lo and Affleck bought the fully furnished property in gated Wallingford Estates last May for $60.85 million cash.

Lopez and Affleck have spent the past year “warming up” its white-washed interiors, according to the Journal. There’s now a green-painted dining room, hardwood floors and carpeting over cold, polished-stone floors.

“They thought they could sell it off-market but made a game-time decision in order to put more eyes on the property,” an unidentified source told US Weekly. “They are in a rush to sell it. Ben especially wants to be done with the house. He was never happy there.”

Broker Santiago Arana of The Agency has the listing.

The mansion has 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms. There’s also a 5,000-square-foot guesthouse, a caretaker house and a two-bedroom guardhouse.

The estate includes basketball and pickleball courts, a gym, a boxing ring, plus a sports lounge and bar in what is billed as a “one-of-a-kind indoor sports complex.”

It’s also a car collector’s and party host’s dream, with a 12-car garage — plus parking for 80 more vehicles.

The two-story white mansion, built on a promontory, overlooks what may be the biggest zero-edge pool in town, at 155 feet long.

The French-style Wallingford Estate, built in 2000, was modeled on Le Petit Trianon, Marie Antoinette’s private château, according to Forbes. It has a 5,300-square-foot master suite, plus a cinema, wine room and a whisky lounge. It also has a spa with a hair and nail salon, sauna, massage room and stylist area.

It was purchased by developer Gala Asher in November 2016 for $22 million, then revamped.

Its prior owner, healthcare entrepreneur Jeoung Lee, bought the home after its previous owner, Curtis Somoza, was caught in a $64 million Ponzi scheme, for which he was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison.

Affleck has already moved out of the Beverly Hills Post Office estate and rents a smaller mansion in Brentwood for $100,000 a month — just two blocks from the home of his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, the Daily Mail said.

Lopez lives separately at an unknown location, according to US Weekly. “Nothing has been decided yet as far as the divorce, but selling the house is the first step,” the insider said.

Affleck and Garner share three children together: Violet, 18; Fin, 15; and Samuel, 12. Lopez shares twins Max and Emme, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

The couple, who got married in 2022 after reuniting some 20 years after they called off their engagement in the early 2000s, purchased the megamansion after a months-long house hunt, The Wall Street Journal reported at the time.
