Dr. Dreis officially on to the

next episode. The music producer

and mogul has sold his longtime

million.

million.

Built in 1987, the French coun-

try-style manor can handle a party

theater. A custom aquarium cre-

spa has pocketing walls that open

to the backyard.

Among the eight bedrooms and

13 bathrooms is a multi-room

master suite complete with dual

closets and a dry sauna.

Outside, more than half an acre

of grounds contains various pati-

os, a fire pit and a saltwater swim-

ming pool. A stone pavilion with a

flat-screen television sits near the

pool area.

Dr. Dre bought the home in

1999 for $2.35 million.

dining room has coffered ceilings

and French doors that open to a

covered patio. The formal living

room, which holds one of two

fireplaces, sits off the dining area.

and five bathrooms.

spa sit between the main house

and a two-bedroom guesthouse. A

motor court is in front of the home,

which sits behind hedges and

gates on more than half an acre.

was among Hollywood’s biggest
