<\/p>\n

The 96th Academy Awards is set to air, which means we\u2019ve reached the pinnacle of awards season. Over the past few months\u2014from the Golden Globes to the Grammys\u2014we\u2019ve witnessed A-listers accept prizes for their cinematic achievements. Now, the time has come to see who will take home Hollywood\u2019s top prizes.<\/p>\n

Here at Realtor.com\u00ae<\/a>, we remained focused on show-stopping properties, especially those owned by celebrities. So, in anticipation of the Oscars, we thought it would be fun to hand out our own hardware. Allow us to highlight the most outstanding achievements in celebrity real estate<\/a> that we witnessed over the past year.<\/p>\n

After reflecting on hundreds of pricey pads owned by high-profile individuals, we put together a slate of nominees in seven categories, including Best Kitchen and Best Overall Home.<\/p>\n

Which properties scored the top honors? The envelopes, please\u2026<\/p>\n

The award for Prettiest Setting goes to Cher\u2019s resort-worthy Malibu, CA, mansion<\/p>\n

Candice Bergen\u2019s apartment with Central Park views<\/a><\/h3>\n

Sarah Jessica Parker\u2019s Hamptons beachside cottage<\/a><\/h3>\n

Why Cher won:<\/strong> It\u2019s hard to beat spectacular views of Central Park or a Hamptons property just steps from a private beach, but Cher\u2019s Malibu, CA,<\/a> mansion clinched the win for a number of reasons.<\/p>\n

Cher\u2019s $75 million California estate<\/p>\n

Realtor.com<\/p>\n

First of all, her 13,000-square-foot abode sits on a lush, private cliff and offers jaw-dropping views of the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n

Inside, the Mediterranean-style home features floor-to-ceiling windows that set the scene for luxurious yet comfortable California living.<\/p>\n

The resort-worthy backyard features a tennis court and infinity pool.<\/p>\n

The location is just a short drive to some of the most popular beaches and restaurants in the world. And while the iconic performer still hasn\u2019t found a buyer for the $75 million property, it\u2019s easy to see why the price nearly reaches nine digits.<\/p>\n

Her latest acquisition was a 7.5-acre equestrian estate in Florida boasting a backyard of epic proportions that ensured she galloped away with the win.<\/p>\n

Amenities include a state-of-the-art equestrian rink, 10 horse stalls, a tennis court, and a soccer pitch.<\/p>\n

Among all the over-the-top amenities we saw this year, B\u00fcndchen\u2019s backyard was a cut above the rest.<\/p>\n

Realtor.com<\/p>\n

Not only is it humongous and shaped like an elegant four-leaf clover, but it also offers amazing ocean views. Win-win.<\/p>\n

The adjacent loggia offers a respite from the sun and is equipped for leisurely summer days with an outdoor kitchen, flat-screen television, and seating area.<\/p>\n

Joel has been looking to part with his palatial $54.9 million estate near Palm Beach, FL<\/a>, for the longest time, and whoever scoops it up will score the ultimate backyard spread.<\/p>\n

In May 2023, we heard that the tattoo titan and beauty entrepreneur had found a buyer for her 12,500-square-foot, Gothic-modern manse in Los Angeles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Built in 1896, the Victorian-era estate boasts turrets, dark wood paneling, parlor walls adorned with gold scrollwork, stained-glass windows, and elegant chandeliers.<\/p>\n

The showstopper: Behind a secret door lies a bar that opens outside to the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance<\/em>\u2014that scarlet-hued pool and spa.<\/p>\n

Of all the jaw-dropping spaces inside the home, perhaps the most impressive is the kitchen.<\/p>\n

It features custom lighting, cabinetry, and countertops; a large dining island; Wolf range; Sub-Zero refrigerator; and an impressive hanging pot rack.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s exactly the type of kitchen we\u2019d love to start our day in before skipping outside for a dip in the lagoon-style pool and spa, or going for a hike on the 102-acre property.<\/p>\n

In 2023, they landed on \u201cone of the most iconic estates\u201d in Beverly Hills<\/a>, a celeb-ready fortress known as Wallingford Estate.<\/p>\n

The sale price? An eye-watering $60,850,000.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck\u2019s iconic estate wins the award for Best Overall Home.<\/p>\n

Realtor.com<\/p>\n

When news broke that the duo had found their forever home\u2014a 38,000-square-foot megamansion on 5 acres\u2014we had a feeling this would be the most lavish home we\u2019d see in 2023. We were, in fact, correct.<\/p>\n

The property showcases 12 bedrooms, 24 baths, parking for more than 80 cars, a pickleball court, a boxing ring, a sports lounge, a zero-edge pool, and a 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse.<\/p>\n

So, for its celebrity pedigree, massive floor plan, and designer features and amenities, we have no choice but to name the couple\u2019s Beverly Hills palace as the Best Overall Home of the past year.<\/p>\n
