‘Price Is Right’ Legend Bob Barker’s Stunning $3 Million California Villa for Sale — See Inside! [Pictures]
The late Bob Barker's stunning California villa is currently for sale, and pictures show a historic estate that's worth every penny of its nearly $3 million asking price. Barker's 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 5,906-square-foot Spanish style villa was his home for five decades before his death in 2023 at the age of 99. The estate sits on one of the most historic plots of land in Los Angeles; General Harrison Grey Otis, who founded the Los Angeles Times, lived in an adobe home on the site from 1880 until his death in 1917. That house was called the Outpost, and according to the listing for Barker's house, it was the first house ever built in Hollywood.
