A sprawling Idaho estate, where scenes in the Marilyn Monroe film “Bus Stop” were filmed, is for sale for $16 million.
Located in Sun Valley, Idaho, the property covering 12 acres has a modern craftsman main house, a guest house and a spacious “party barn” designed for entertaining, according to the listing.
Crews shot parts of the classic 1956 movie in an old general store that has since been renovated into a 2,000-square-foot guest house. The guest house was better known as Grace’s Diner in the movie, which also starred Hope Lange. The romantic comedy-drama was directed by Joshua Logan.
The guest house now features two bedrooms and three bathrooms. The nearby barn is a 3,000-square-foot structure that comes with a full kitchen, a living area, two bathrooms, a terrace, a conservatory and heated garages.
The estate, 13439 State Highway 75 in Blaine County, has a total of eight bedrooms, 10 baths and 9,434 square feet of living space.
“History and luxury blend seamlessly in this three structure Sun Valley legacy mountain estate,” according to the official property listing.
The two-level home’s large windows bring in spectacular mountain views.
“The home features warm mahogany wood accents and multiple stone fireplaces, a three-car garage, an outdoor hot tub, a huge fire pit, and several terraces with water features,” wrote toptenrealestatedeals.com, a website featuring luxury and celebrity properties around the world. “Breathtaking views of Bald Mountain, as well as the Smokey and Boulder Mountains, are visible from all three of the estate’s units. An artificial lake completes the property’s serene look and feel. Private and secluded, the estate is located far from the hustle and bustle of the city but close to the famous ski slopes of Sun Valley. “
The compound was listed for sale a couple times since 2020 before last hitting the market in November 2021 at $15.995 million, according to realtor.com.
