Have you been watching the new season of “The Bachelorette” with Ali Fedotowsky? Last year Big-Time Listings reported that the rustic Italian-style mansion in Agoura Hills, California, where the popular “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” reality shows are filmed, was on the market for $6.75 million.
The listing has since been removed, and I’m not sure if it sold or not. But the house, known as Villa De La Vina, has an official website with photos that show what it looks like when it’s not all dolled up for TV. You can apparently rent it out for your own special event.
They redecorate the mansion for every season, so it always looks a little different. Here’s a photo of the living room from the current season of “The Bachelorette.” The only thing that looks the same in the shot of the room on the Villa De La Vina website is the floor (wood surrounded by tile, and a tile border that runs around the baseboard):
On the other hand, I’d recognize that famous pool anywhere:
“The Mansion is more of a compound than a mansion. It only has 4 bedrooms upstairs. Downstairs are the rose ceremony room, her room with all the guys’ photos in it and the kitchen and the living room. The rest of the house that you never see is filled with production equipment.
“The Compound has 7 ft concrete walls all around it with security guards walking the perimeter so there is no way in or out. The Mansion has microphones throughout so they can always hear what’s going on and when something good happens they send one of their 24 hr a day camera crews to investigate…”
In this aerial shot you can see those walls surrounding the perimeter that he mentions:
Jesse adds that there was no way Justin (the “Entertainment Wrestler” who is wooing Ali this season) could have “escaped” the mansion and gotten past the security guards without help from the producers: “Ali’s place is over 5 miles away and all up hill on windy mountain roads.”
Since Justin has a broken foot and is on crutches, Jesse thinks the producers got a few shots of him walking along the road and then drove him the rest of the way. You can read the rest of his thoughts on the current season here.
Who do you think Ali will choose? My early vote goes to Roberto, but you never know how these things will pan out. I never seem to guess them right. To get all the best spoilers on the show, check out Reality Steve.
