John and Joan Hotchkis were widely recognized in Los Angeles for their civic leadership, financial success, and dedicated philanthropy in the arts and education. The prominent pair shared a legacy of achievements: He cofounded the investment firms Trust Company of the West and Hotchkis & Wiley, served as an Olympic Games commissioner, and was a competitive auto and toboggan racer; she was a dedicated arts patron, a former vice president of Sotheby’s, and a trustee of the Kennedy Center.

John passed away in 2017 at age 86, and Joan followed last year at age 88, and now, their longtime estate in lower Bel Air is making headlines. Dubbed Villa Cresta, the property has officially hit the market for $65 million, with David Kramer and Andrew Buss of Compass handling the listing.

An elegant living room has arched doorways framing scenic outdoor views.
