Commissioned by soap opera legends William and Maria Bell in 1999, the structure was designed by the Japanese architect Tadao Ando. The Bell House, as it is known by the contractors who constructed it, took 15 years to build.

Ando is currently designing a home with Kanye West, The Daily Mail reported, though the project has stalled and fallen into disrepair.
The purchase of the mansion makes the Carter family the owners of the most expensive home ever sold in the state of California (handily overtaking the previous record of $177 million) and the second-most expensive real estate deal in the country, TMZ reported.
The most expensive home is a $238 million Central Park penthouse owned by Billionaire hedge-fund manager Ken Griffin.
