Gene Simmons put his sprawling Beverly Hills mansion on the market for $13.99 million in April, however he has now reduced his asking price to $13.49 million.
The musician does still stand to make a profit on the sale of the property, even at the reduced ask, having snapped it up for $10.5 million in 2021 to use as a California home base after he and his wife, Shannon Tweed Simmons, moved to Las Vegas.

Although Simmons and his spouse quickly decided that the Nevada heat was too much for them to handle, the rocker opted to purchase another—even more opulent—home in Malibu for $25 million when they returned to California.

He explained when listing his Beverly Hills property that he and his wife wanted to find a buyer who would respect the home—and the many memories that their family has made there.

“You have such wonderful times there, you don’t want some schmuck in the place you call home. No drugs, no alcoholics. I don’t want anybody coming in there who is going to destroy the place,” he said.

The pricey property, which is being listed by Lisa Young of Compass, comes with a “40-foot glass-like infinity pool, dramatic drought-tolerant landscaping, and bold bronze geometric sculptures that offer a distinct artistic statement.”

Simmons’ property was designed by Swiss architect Roger P. Kurath and is made of “glass, steel, oak wood and concrete elements.”

In a statement, Simmons revealed that the views were what drew him to the property in the first place.

The home “utilizes solar-power for pool and radiant heated flooring, eco-materials and fire-resistant, waterproof triple-panel windows.”

“This home is a rare example of Swiss architectural mastery, built with exceptional quality, thoughtful details, and a focus on longevity,” the listing agent said.
