Jennifer Lopez has just put her massive Bel-Air spread on the market for a jaw-dropping $42.5 million.
Located on 7.8 acres in the posh Los Angeles neighborhood, the 12,817-square-foot retreat is tucked away on a gated property, just minutes from the famed Bel-Air Hotel.
TMZ reported that the actress and singer listed the home, noting that she and husband Ben Affleck originally intended to renovate the space.
The news comes just six months after the A-list celebs tied the knot in Las Vegas.
Lopez purchased the extraordinary estate for $28 million in 2016 from actress Sela Ward.
The megamansion is not far from The One—a sprawling estate that was sold for a mind-blowing $141 million at auction last spring.

Lopez’s equally impressive, nine-bedroom manse was originally designed by architect Samuel Marx and built in 1940. Since then, it has been reimagined into a “masterful, one-of-a-kind, multistructure, French Country refuge,” the listing notes.
The home’s stylish design incorporates stone, wood, and other natural elements.
The expansive grounds feature a guesthouse with a studio and gym, a 100-seat amphitheater, a pagoda with a fire pit, an outdoor entertainment area with a full kitchen, and a second guest cottage.

The property even comes with a private lake, sandy beach, and outdoor shower for those seeking the ultimate in privacy.
A two-story living room features a soaring ceiling, bar, stone fireplace, and curved staircase with wrought-iron railings.

The second floor includes a massage room and a guest room.

The lower level features a 30-seat screening room with movie posters from several of the actors’ films—including “El Cantante,” starring Lopez and ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Affleck’s “Hollywoodland.”
