Now, according to a report by Realtor.com, the couple has listed the property for nearly $30 million, decades after abandoning controversial plans to transform it with an enormous five-story riding facility.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>At the time, the Hollywood mogul, 79 and actress, 72, unveiled ambitious plans to dramatically overhaul the estate with a 27,000-square-foot, five-story riding facility featuring a domed roof and underground horse stables. The &#8216;Jaws&#8217; director also reportedly envisioned more than $7 million worth of renovations, along with plans to construct a 2,400-square-foot guesthouse and a three-story guardhouse.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>However, the proposed transformation sparked a fierce backlash from their neighbours, who objected to the scale of the project. <!-- -->Although the Oscar-winning director reportedly planned to present revised ideas to his neighbours, the elaborate project ultimately never came to fruition. However, he did get a chance to update the estate into the magnificent abode it is today.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>The property has remained a part of Spielberg and Capshaw&#8217;s extensive real estate portfolio for nearly three decades. Now, the couple is finally ready to part ways with the equestrian retreat, listing it for $29.9 million with Sandro Dazzan of The Agency.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Known as Dogwood, the seven-bedroom, 9.5-bathroom estate sits on 2.8 acres in the ultra-private Sullivan Canyon and offers an impressive array of equestrian amenities alongside its luxurious living spaces. Spanning two parcels, the property combines a sophisticated country-inspired aesthetic with extensive facilities designed for horses, entertaining and guests. Inside the main residence, rich walnut floors and wood-covered ceilings create a warm atmosphere, while expansive windows bring in plenty of natural light.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>The spacious living room offers multiple seating areas anchored by dual fireplaces, creating an inviting space for relaxing and entertaining. The chef&#8217;s kitchen features extensive wood cabinetry, an oversized centre island, high-end appliances and an eat-in dining nook. &#8220;The chef&#8217;s kitchen with eat-in dining nook and wood-burning fireplace connects to a cosy family room and IPE-clad terrace overlooking a tranquil reflection pond,&#8221; the listing notes.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat complete with a wood-burning fireplace and access to a private covered terrace. The outdoor space boasts yet another fireplace along with sweeping city and canyon views, according to the listing. Elsewhere inside the home is a media room that can double as a game room, as well as a wine cellar.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Apart from all this, the property&#8217;s most impressive feature is its four-legged residents. <!-- -->Across from the main entertaining spaces sits a six-stall barn complete with an executive office, staff quarters, three grooming stations, a feed kitchen and storage. The equestrian facility is topped off by a sprawling 20,000-square-foot riding arena with an observation deck and mirrored wall, which the listing notes is suitable for both dressage and jumping.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>The estate&#8217;s lower parcel expands the compound even further with a stylish one-bedroom guesthouse equipped with its own kitchen, rooftop deck, and basement office and storage spaces. <!-- -->There is also a second four-stall barn, a 5,400-square-foot turnout area, a private gate, and enough parking for more than 10 vehicles. Both parcels are supported by a security command post and generators, further adding to the property&#8217;s private compound-like feel.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Outside, the ranch is surrounded by lush landscaping, while a tranquil reflection pond adds to its secluded, countryside atmosphere, despite the estate&#8217;s location in the heart of Los Angeles.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>&#8220;Nestled in the ultra-private Sullivan Canyon, Dogwood is Los Angeles&#8217; premier equestrian ranch &#8211; a rare masterpiece designed by renowned architect Michael Kovac with interiors by Michael Smith and landscape design by Christine London,&#8221; the listing states.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/real-estate\/news\/in-1999-steven-spielberg-and-kate-capshaw-bought-a-2-8-acre-los-angeles-horse-ranch-for-5-75-million-27-years-later-their-seven-bedroom-equestrian-estate-with-a-20000-sq-ft-riding-arena-is-seeking-29-9-million\/articleshow\/134052977.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1999, filmmaker Steven Spielberg and his wife, Kate Capshaw, purchased a sprawling ranch in Los Angeles through their corporate entity, Texas Tart, for $5.75 million.
