Diana Ross | House Tour | $15 Million Miami Mansion & More

Diana Ross has been in showbiz for 6 decades if you can believe it and a 78 year old is still producing songs and performing for audiences across the globe. Not only that, but she's still building up her real estate portfolio. Just last month, it was revealed that Diana purchased a chic new home in Miami Beach for over $15 million dollars, which is located right on the water in an exclusive location. The modern mansion offers nearly 6,000 square feet of space, as well as 5 bedrooms and luxury amenities galore. Aside from this new crib, the legendary Miss Ross had long lived in Connecticut at her sprawling estate dubbed Quarry Farm, which dates back to the 1930s, as well as owning a couple of properties in Los Angeles. Diana Ross has been in the music industry for decades, and despite this, she hasn't retired. Last year, she even released her 25th album, as well as released a feel-good single, Turn Up The Sunshine, earlier this year. I mean, she even had an international tour this year that ended with half a dozen shows in Vegas, rocking her usual glam style on stage. Miss Ross can also celebrate her accomplishments and take a break from her busy schedule in her new Miami Beach house, which she reportedly purchased for $15.5 million dollars in October 2022. The contemporary mansion is located in Miami, right on the water. More specifically, in the exclusive area of the Venetian Islands, a chain of artificial islands linked together by a causeway in Biscayne Bay. Built in 2017, Diana's new home sits on a quarter of an acre of land, while inside offers up just over 5,800 square feet of space across two levels. In typical Miami style, the home is full of modern details, like bright white walls, open spaces, as well as walls of glass to let in the sunshine, and there's also five bedrooms and five bathrooms. Once entering Diana's new crib, you'll find a massive open plan common area, with soaring ceilings, more than one living area, dining area, and more. This great room also has shiny white terrazzo floors underfoot, which extend throughout most of the modern home as well. Glass sliders on one side of this space open right up to a terrace, and an infinity edge pool, and a sleek kitchen is situated on the other end of the room. The cooking space is also open plan in style and boasts top-of-the-line appliances fit for a professional chef, as well as other bonuses like a snack bar area and mini wine fridge. Other perks Diana can enjoy at her new Miami getaway include state-of-the-art smart home tech throughout the residence, and plenty of walls of glass which open to reveal the outdoor entertainment areas for easy indoor-outdoor Florida living. Each of the bedrooms in the abode offer up a private ensuite bath, and the singer's master bedroom has its very own wall of glass that opens to the private balcony where you can catch amazing views of the ocean. Of course, the spa-style bath is also equally luxurious, and there's even a walk-in closet as big as a small apartment. On an upper level, there's a glass-walled pavilion which can be used as an office or studio room, and this opens up to a breathtaking rooftop terrace. Here, there are 360-degree views across the Bay of Miami skyline, and plenty of deck space to catch some rays. The lower patio area which surrounds Diana's new home has a ton of lounging and entertaining space, along with that stunning pool, while there's also a private dock and 60 feet of bay frontage. Well, aside from this new property, Diana has long lived in a sprawling Connecticut estate that's known as Quarry Farm. The stately home dates back to the 1930s, and property records show that Ms. Ross owns the estate in two pieces, consisting of a nearly 5-acre parcel of land and another which is 4.05 acres. Located in the elite neighborhood of Bellhaven in Greenwich, Connecticut, Diana bought the mega-mansion way back in 1980 off of actor Frank Gorshin. While we haven't been able to see the inside of her home, older photos give us an idea about the style, and we do have some details about it from real estate records. Features of Quarry Farm include over 12,500 square feet of space along with 11 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and 5 fireplaces throughout. Designed by architect Frank Forster, the mansion is said to contain a spiral staircase leading all the way from the basement to the third floor, as well as classic details like 18th century oak paneling in some of the rooms, including the living room, and beautiful arches leading from one space to the other. Also inside, there are spaces like a family room, wine cellar, master bedroom with double-sided fireplace, and even a bowling alley if that's not enough. While the massive interior offers plenty of perks, the grounds of Diana's home pack in even more amenities. Out in the yard, you'll find a freeform swimming pool, a spa, a tennis court, a five-car garage, a guest cottage, and an additional garage with apartment above it. In more recent years, it's said Ms. Ross had tried to sell her long-time estate, asking a whopping $39 million dollars plus. However, around this time, the town actually valued her property at about $14.4 million dollars. And once the house was assessed for much less than Diana had hoped, she took it off the market and rented it out instead. Besides her Connecticut estate, Diana's real estate portfolio also reportedly includes a couple of places in Los Angeles. One of these is said to be a well-sized, three-level home just above LA's Sunset Strip, and the other more modest property is situated across town in Venice. While we don't have much to go by, if anything, for her Venice property, we do know Diana's abode in LA, the other one, has served as a part-time residence over the years. And she purchased this one back in 1996 for $725,000 according to records. Located just above the Sunset Strip, on a winding road, her Hollywood home is said to span over 6,400 square feet of space, with 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms throughout. The only photos to go by of Diana's LA property are outdated, but we can get an idea of the layout and the features still. We can see the house had an open plan main area, with dark hardwood flooring underfoot and sitting rooms with windows overlooking the hills, while the kitchen had marble or granite floors in an off-white color, as well as some very 90s-looking cherry wood cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The home also has a movie theater, which appears to be cozily tucked away on a lower level, while the amenities continue outside. Here we can see there's a zen garden, a full tennis court, and a massive patio with areas to dine al fresco. Not to mention, the terrace area includes a stunning swimming pool and built-in hot tub. While that might be all we've got on Diana Ross' Los Angeles home, we've learned that she still owns a handful of stunning properties, and we got a good look at the latest one that she's purchased. That being said, we're gonna bring this house tour to a close. Thanks so much for watching, and before you head out, think about this.
