Alisters Joe Jonas and his wife Sophie Turner have sold their Encino estate, which they turned into one of Southern California’s most glamorous contemporary homes. Taking two years and the magic of celebrity designer Jae Omar, the home was bought by the couple for US$ 14.1 million in 2019 and they listed it at 16.75 million dollars in June 2021. It recently sold for US$ 15.2 million.

Located in the Royal Oaks enclave of Encino, the 15,000 square foot Los Angeles home has nine bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. Omar applied his skills to highlight the lushness of the landscape including an ancient oak tree in the centre of the property.

Other design features that were added include a lap pool with spa, aged wood design features, various imported stone accents and a custom wine cellar.

Open and airy with high ceilings and outdoor views, all the rooms are large and can host extensive get togethers. There is a two bedroom guesthouse (which is also used for entertaining) with an aquarium, a humidor, a kegerator, fog machine disco lights and a DJ station.

On the exterior, there’s lush turf throughout the grounds with a putting green and an outdoor projector for movie nights. Royal Oaks is one of the favourite celebrity neighbourhoods in LA.

The couple already has a new home in Miami’s Bay Point neighbourhood after recently purchasing a 10,416 square foot waterfront residence with three bedrooms for US$ 11 million.

They are joining other A listers such as Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen, Joshua Kushner and Karlie Kloss, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, and Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who have also moved – or are moving soon – to the Sunshine State.

Joe is one of three brothers who make up the pop rock boy band Jonas Brothers. English actress Sophie gained celebrity status from her role as Sansa Stark in HBO’s Game of Thrones.
