The 91-Year-Old Legend Who Lived in a $22 Million Beverly Hills Mansion Is Finally Letting It Go

Pat Boone just turned 92. And for the first time since 1960, he is ready to let go.

The legendary recording artist is listing his Beverly Hills home for $22 million. The same home where Elvis Presley showed up unannounced on Sunday afternoons.

The same home where Gregory Peck once held a fundraiser in the yard. The same home where Boone and his late wife, Shirley, raised four daughters for over six decades.

That is not just a real estate listing. That is American music history going up for sale.

The Home He Never Planned to Love

Boone bought the property in 1960 at the corner of Beverly Drive and Sunset Boulevard. He was starring in his own ABC variety series at the time and had four young daughters. He and Shirley needed space.

“When we found this place, it wasn’t my first choice because it’s at the corner of Beverly Drive and Sunset Boulevard, but it was a big lot and a beautiful home with all the bedrooms and baths that we would need,” Boone told Mansion Global.

What sold him was the yard. Over an acre of land in the Beverly Hills Flats, which is genuinely rare for that neighborhood.

“I grew up in Tennessee, so did Shirley, so we wanted a place with a big yard and green grass,” he said. “This place has been an oasis in the middle of Beverly Hills. It’s like being back in Tennessee.”

Built in 1939, the home spans 7,032 square feet with 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, a guest house, a rec room with a pool table, wet bar, and a pool that has seen a lot of history.

The Listing, the Price, and What Most Stories Skip

This is actually not the first time Boone has tried to sell.

The property was listed in 2014 at $18.499 million, marketed as an ideal development opportunity given the lot size. No deal. Listed again in 2018 at the same price. Still no deal.

Now in 2026, the ask is $22 million, per listing agent Lea Porter of Beverly Hills Estates. That is nearly $3.5 million higher than the previous two attempts, in a market that is moving significantly slower than it was even two years ago.

High hedges block the street noise despite the busy intersection location. Boone says you cannot hear traffic from inside the house at all. But whether the market hears $22 million the way he hopes is a different question.

Why Celebrity Homes Do Not Always Sell Fast

People assume a famous name and a famous address move a property quickly. The data says otherwise.

As of May 2026, Beverly Hills luxury homes are averaging 75 days on the market. In the segment above $10 million, the average stretches even longer, with buyers negotiating harder than they did just a few years ago.

Over 400 active listings sit in the 90210 zip code right now with a median ask of $5.75 million.

Pat Boone is not the only one navigating this. Christina Haack pulled her $4.5 million Tennessee farmhouse off the market again after listing it multiple times with no deal closing. Celebrity names open doors. They do not close transactions.

That is the reality a $22 million ask faces right now. The story behind this home is extraordinary. But the buyer still has to feel the price is right.

Why This Matters

Boone had at least one song on the Billboard charts for 220 consecutive weeks, a record no other artist has matched. He sold nearly 50 million records. His chart rival was Elvis Presley, who later became a friend and dropped by this very home unannounced to swim in the pool.

“We’d be in the pool on a Sunday afternoon, and unannounced, in walks Elvis and one of his buddies,” Boone said.

The house has held that kind of history for 66 years. And now Boone, who turned 92 this month, says it is simply time.

“I would probably do better in a smaller place here,” he said. “I don’t need a place this big, but I love it, and I still walk around and enjoy it all.”

This pattern keeps repeating across celebrity real estate. Ryan Seacrest’s Napa Valley estate sat on the market for nearly two years before finally selling at $18.5 million.

Perez Hilton recently listed his gated Las Vegas mansion after realizing the city no longer fit his life. Every big listing has a bigger story behind it. This one might be the biggest of all.

Wrapping Up

Pat Boone is not leaving because he has to. He is leaving because 66 years, four daughters, and a lifetime of memories is, by any measure, enough.

The pool where Elvis swam. The yard where Gregory Peck fundraised. The primary suite where Shirley spent her last years. Now all of it goes to whoever writes the check for $22 million.
