Director McG closed on a Beverly Hills estate for $14.7 million on June 12, 2026, ending a six‑year market run.
Built in 1928 by architect John Byers, the Spanish Colonial compound covers just under an acre and spans 6,976 sq ft across seven bedrooms and eleven baths.
John Barrymore, the Golden‑Age actor, once called the property home, giving the estate a legendary status that still echoes through its ornate ceilings and arched windows.
The property’s recent history includes Donna Scott, widow of director Tony Scott, who modernized the cottages and added a koi pond, yet it remained unsold until McG’s purchase.
McG plans to keep the estate’s historic character while using the main house for intimate film‑production workshops, with the official closing slated for July 15, 2026.
