Dame Helen Mirren and her husband, director Taylor Hackford, have quietly put their longtime Hollywood Hills compound back on the market after an interior refresh, now asking just under $13 million and trimming roughly $5.5 million from the price they first floated in 2021. After a year off the market for a redesign and new photography, the property is back in circulation as one of the largest private parcels near the city for buyers who put a premium on privacy and provenance.
According to Realtor.com, the couple returned the estate to the listings this week at roughly the same $12.99 million ask it held after a June 2025 price cut, and this latest outing represents about a $5.5 million drop from the original $18.5 million price tag in 2021. Realtor.com notes that the owners pulled the property to complete an extensive refresh, then came back with updated staging and photography meant to showcase the new look.
What the compound contains
The estate spans about 6.5 acres, with the compound totaling roughly 10,200 square feet across the main residence and additional structures, plus multiple terraces, formal gardens and a large rectangular pool. Architectural Digest recently highlighted the property’s century-old pedigree and restored period details, along with the sweep of outdoor entertaining areas and views that come with such a rare Hollywood Hills spread. Those expansive grounds and the home’s layered history are central to the pitch for buyers chasing bona fide Old Hollywood character.
Renovation and staging
Realtor.com reports that Mirren and Hackford brought in luxury stager Vesta Home for a designer refresh, along with upgraded landscaping, before reintroducing the place. Vesta’s Brett Baer summed up the strategy simply: “Every house tells you what it wants to be,” he told Realtor.com. The latest marketing push leans on new images that play up vintage Hollywood flourishes alongside warm, sunlit interiors designed to help buyers picture how the estate lives day-to-day.
Where this fits in the Los Angeles market
Large, historic estates like this have been tougher to move in recent years, so some high-end sellers are rethinking both pricing and presentation to hook the right audience. Coverage of the 2026 luxury market notes that affluent buyers increasingly foreground privacy, turnkey amenities and security, and those are exactly the qualities sellers try to spotlight when they refresh and reposition a listing. Variety’s Real Estate Elite roundup points out that privacy and distinctive, hard-to-duplicate features still sit at the top of the wish list for Southern California’s luxury crowd.
Who’s marketing the house
The listing is handled by Westside Estate Agency principals Jonas Heller and Kurt Rappaport, veterans of other prominent Los Angeles deals. Architectural Digest identifies the duo as the agents overseeing Mirren and Hackford’s latest sales campaign. For a property of this scale, the updated photos, new staging and a price just under $13 million are all aimed at drawing a wider pool of buyers through the gates as the market rolls from summer into fall.
Whether this revamped push and sizable discount finally close the book on a years-long sales effort is still an open question, but the relist sends a clear signal that Mirren and Hackford are ready to test fresh buyer appetite for a rare, legacy Hollywood compound.
