Larry Hagman's beachfront condo sells for $5million... as his sprawling $6.5million Ojai estate remains on the market

For the past few decades it's been home to the famous J.R. Ewing, but now Larry Hagman's Santa Monica estate has a new owner.

The Dallas star's ocean-front penthouse was put up for sale in January, two months after Larry passed away after a year long battle with cancer.

After 63 days on the market the home finally sold on February 28, according to property managers Surterre Properties.

It had been listed at $5.2 million, but no sales price was named in the press release.

And with his wife of 58 years, Maj Axelsson, suffering from Alzheimers, their Ojai, California estate was also posted for sale.

As of March, Larry's Ojai estate, which he appropriately named 'Heaven', is still available for sale for just under $6.5 million, according real estate brokers Kogevinas, who represent the property.

The condo features floor-to-ceiling windows and a semi-private glass elevator shared with only seven other tenants at the posh 101 Ocean Avenue building.

Built into the Santa Monica hillside, the unique property features stunning views of the Pacific Ocean from the top floor of the 10-story building.

Originally built in the 1960s, the building and its units were refurbished in the late 1980s, and Hagman was among the buildings most prestigious owners.

Pictures of the home show the star's love of nature, as the Pacific Ocean could be seen even from a small bathroom window.

And in one shot, fans can imagine Hagman watching the sunset as a cowboy hat, JR beers and two glasses of wine are placed on a balcony table.

In 2011, Hagman returned to Dallas to reprise his role as cunning villain J.R. in the show's reboot, which started airing in June last year.

But in October of that year he was diagnosed with a 'treatable' form of throat cancer and announced he would receive treatment while filming the show.

At the time the star said: 'As J.R. I could get away with anything - bribery, blackmail and adultery. But I got caught by cancer. I do want everyone to know that it is a very common and treatable form of cancer.'

And just three years prior, his wife Maj Axelsson, whom he was married to for 58 years, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2008 and by 2010 she required 24-hour nursing care.

As a result, the couple were forced to downsize and late last month they put their 43-acre Ojai ranch up for sale, listing it at $11 million, but the price has just come down to $6.495 million.

The spectacular property, affectionately nicknamed 'Heaven,' boasts a 20,000 square-foot home with nine bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and five swimming pools.

The Tuscan-style home also has a man-made babbling creek, 400 rose bushes as well as olive, grapefruit, lime, orange, and avocado trees.

However, the sprawling property's best feature is the mind-blowing 360-degree view of the mountains and Pacific Ocean.
