Former WWE and Hollywood superstar Dwayne Johnson has brought a sprawling mansion in Beverly Park for a  staggering $27.8 million. According to a report in The Hollywood Reporter, the massive 18,000 square feet home comes with a Mediterranean-style compound, the main mansion and a spacious 2,500-square-foot guesthouse. There is a  a world-class gym, a full-size tennis court, an at-home baseball diamond, an elevator, movie theater, a music studio as well as indoor and outdoor swimming pools. The property is stunning as it is scattered with a dozens of olive trees. 

Dwayne will have other high profile celebrities as his neighbours which include Denzel Washington, Sly Stallone, Rod Stewart, Eddie Murphy and Sofía Vergara. The mansion was originally built in 1993 by rocker Alex Van Halen. The actor recently bought it from comedian Paul Reiser. Back when Alex Van Halen had the home constructed for himself he made certain it included a music studio, which is just one of the home's many ultra-luxe amenities. The home theater includes elegant wood paneling contrasted with midnight blue cloth on the walls, plus Art Deco light fixtures in a flourish of retro chic. Put together the main house and guesthouse contain about 17,630 square feet of living space, which includes a staggering total of 11.5 bathrooms. Dwayne's acquisition comes just three months after he listed his Georgia horse farm for what Barrons reports is $7.5 million - a $2 million markdown from the price he bought it for a little over a year prior.
