| LARRY HAGMAN – Private Place It’s hard to picture Dallas’ mean old J.R Ewing frolicking in his Santa Fe home with his grandchildren, but that’s exactly what you’ll see in this episode of “Famous Homes and Hideaways.” Hidden behind Larry Hagman’s custom-designed iron gates is an adobe style home with 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. His wife, Mai, designed the furniture in his favorite room aptly named “the big room.” Big comfy chairs fill this room, which makes it difficult to ever want to leave. The kitchen is designed to be both beautiful and functional. It’s no wonder the Hagmans enjoy this private little hideaway so much. This ultra modern home is a spectacular creation by famed designer Charles Young. Everything about this home is unique, from the $250,000 walls constructed with galice to the custom-made windows specially designed in Maine. The art collection includes the works of Picasso and Monet. The breathtaking view of L.A can be enjoyed in the grand gazebo or from the dazzling swimming pool. Truly a home not to be missed. This hotel is truly “heaven on earth.” No two suites are alike. The Swan Lake Suite is a two-room suite with a fireplace in the living room. The terrace overlooks the peaceful garden complete with a tiny lake with swans. The Grace Kelly Suite has a Mediterranean inspiration. The richness of the reproduction antique furniture complements the fountain and jacuzzi, which creates a well-rounded feeling of comfort and tranquility. Steven Tisch is an Academy Award winning producer for 1994’s best picture Forrest Gump. The famous bench from the film is one of his prized possessions, and it adorns his garden. The architecture is the highlight of this home, which is inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright with a Japanese influence. The arts and crafts furniture makes this home a true a sight to see. The bathrooms are incredible and the closets will leave every woman green with envy. This garden also has its own brook. It just doesn’t get any better than that.
