Rob Zombie Just Sold His Two-House L.A. Compound for Nearly $9 Million

Wendy Bowman

Three months after they  hit the market , a pair of 1950s properties making up Rob Zombie's longtime compound in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Hollywood Hills have officially sold.

Records show the neighboring Robert "Bouler" Thorgusen-designed residences tucked away behind a shared gated driveway off Hollywood Hills Road went to two separate unnamed buyers who inked both deals for a total of $8.9 million, just $100,000 less than the combined asking price of $9 million.

Also listed individually by Rick Tyberg, Lauren Duffy, and Abigail Gutwein of Douglas Elliman, the bigger three-bedroom, three-bath spread transferred for $5.5 million, a tad under the  $5.6 million  ask, while the smaller two-bedroom, two-bath place next door brought in its full price of  $3.4 million .

Set on dual parcels that together span just over seven acres, the midcentury charcoal-hued dwellings were acquired by Zombie and his actress wife Sheri Moon Zombie almost a decade ago in separate transactions for a collective $7 million, with the couple snagging a nifty $2 million profit on the sale.

The larger of the two homes (above) was constructed in the late 1950s and has 4,100 square feet of split-level living space dotted with numerous skylights. A smattering of light boxes filtered throughout are designed to "enhance mood, depth, and ambience," per marketing materials.

A pool passes beneath the post-and-beam pad, while customized lounging and entertaining areas join a fireside primary suite flaunting a private terrace and a bath equipped with an integrated soaking tub and a glass-encased shower. Also on the premises is a flex space that could easily be converted into a studio, an office, or a gallery, along with an alfresco dining area, a fire pit, a cascading waterfall, and a two-vehicle carport.

9029 Hollywood Hills Road features spiked fencing, a pie-pan carport, and a dramatic folding roofline.

Built in 1953, the smaller house (above) offers 2,300 square feet across a single level with slate-clad floors and walls of glass. Fronted by artistic spiked fencing and a pie-pan carport, the folded-roof structure is highlighted by a soaring living room boasting the original raised-hearth fireplace, plus a dining area and an eat-in kitchen sporting top-notch Miele and Gaggenau appliances.

A fireside primary suite features clerestory windows and a bath equipped with a freestanding soaking tub and a walk-in shower, while an adjoining bedroom opens to a garden. The rest of the forested grounds, originally designed by noted landscape architect Garrett Eckbo, host a lap pool and raised spa flanked by a wood sundeck.
