(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne have listed their Hidden Hills estate for sale at $12,999,000.
The 2.5-acre promontory sits off a cul-de-sac in the gated community. The Cape Cod-inspired mansion, built in 2001 and featured in the June issue of Architectural Digest, may not be what one might expect from the couple. The house has a paneled study with fireplace, a home theater and studio area, six en suite bedrooms and a guest apartment with kitchenette.
The family room of the 11,000-square-foot home has sliding barn doors and a reclaimed brick fireplace.
The grounds include a swimming pool, spa and a barbecue island. A bathroom by the pool raises the total number of baths to 10.
Sharon Osbourne, 58, is a judge on "America's Got Talent" (2007-present) and a co-host on "The Talk" (2010-present). She also is the manager of Ozzy, 62, formerly lead singer of Black Sabbath before launching his solo career. He has sold more than 100 million albums over four decades and will be on tour again in Europe next month.
They have owned the property since 2007, when they bought it for $12,388,500. That's just long enough for Sharon Osbourne to have thoughts of moving again.
"I get itchy feet," she said in the AD interview. "We've never stayed in any place longer than seven years."
The couple also has a Malibu beach house for sale at $9.5 million.
Tomer Fridman of Ewing & Associates Sothebys, Calabasas, is the listing agent for the Hidden Hills property, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
Sally Field Finds a Buyer
Oscar-winning actress Sally Field has sold her Malibu house for $5.65 million, the Multiple Listing Service shows.
The two-story ranch-style home sits on three acres with separate guest quarters, a pool, a lighted tennis court, a three-stall horse paddock and access to nearby riding trails on more than 2,000 acres of park land. The main home was built in 1958 and had been owned by Olivia Newton-John. Five bedrooms and six bathrooms lie within nearly 6,000 square feet of living space.
Since she starred on the '60s TV series "Gidget" and "The Flying Nun," Field, 64, has made a name for herself on the big screen too in such films "Forrest Gump" (1994), "Places in the Heart" (1984) and "Norma Rae" (1979). She played the matriarch in the recently canceled "Brothers & Sisters" (2006-present) and will play Mary Todd Lincoln in the Steven Spielberg - directed film "Lincoln," to be released next year.
Field bought the property in 2004 for $4,822,500.
Douglas E. Carroll of Prudential Malibu Realty and David Offer of Prudential Brentwood were the listing agents, according to the MLS.
Liz Taylor's Place is Priceless
Update: The longtime Bel-Air home of actress Elizabeth Taylor has sold for an undisclosed amount.
The house came on the market in May at $8.6 million. The listing agent, David Mossler of Teles Properties in Beverly Hills, declined to reveal the sales price, and weeks or months may pass before it will appear in public records.
Owned by the Oscar-winning actress since 1981, the 1960s ranch-style house sits on 1.27 acres, which include a swimming pool with spa, gardens and a koi pond.
The 7,000-square-foot home has a downstairs master suite, two other bedrooms and maid's quarters. A second master suite upstairs has walls upholstered in her signature color: violet.
Taylor, who died in March at 79, won Oscars for her performances in "Butterfield 8" (1960) and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (1966). She is ranked seventh on the American Film Institute's greatest screen legends list.
Harmonizing on the Westside
Soprano Sarah Brightman has bought a house in the Beverly Hills Post Office area for $2.85 million.

Other features of the nearly 4,000-square-foot house include a steam room, a rooftop lounge, a swimming pool and a spa. It has three bedrooms and 41/2 bathrooms.
Brightman, 50, got her start as a dancer and disco singer before starring in Broadway musicals, including "The Phantom of the Opera." She performed at two Olympic Games ceremonies and has gained an international following as a classical singer.
Stephen Lynch of Keller Williams, Hollywood Hills, handled both sides of the transaction.
