�The Bachelor� & �Bachelorette� Pad in California

by HOOKEDONHOUSES on JUNE 14, 2010
Last year Big-Time Listings reported that the rustic Italian-style mansion in Agoura Hills, California, where the popular �Bachelor� and �Bachelorette� reality shows (and now �Bachelor Pad�) are filmed, was on the market for $6.75 million.
The listing has since been removed, and I�m not sure if it sold or not. But the house, known asVilla De La Vina, has an official website with photos that show what it looks like when it�s not all dolled up for TV. You can apparently rent it out for your own special event.
They redecorate the mansion for every season, so it always looks a little different. Here�s a photo of the living room from Ali�s season of �The Bachelorette.�

The only thing that looks the same in the shot of the room on the Villa De La Vina website is the floor (wood surrounded by tile, and a tile border that runs around the baseboard):

On the other hand, I�d recognize that (in)famous pool anywhere:

Looking inside the house, we see the staircase that many a girl has run up, crying:

Remember Jesse Csincsak, the man Deanna Pappas chose during the 2008 season of �The Bachelorette,��only to dump him a few months later?
Jesse Csincsak-Deanna Pappas-BacheloretteJesse describes the mansion to RADAR magazine:
�The Mansion is more of a compound than a mansion. It only has 4 bedrooms upstairs. Downstairs are the rose ceremony room, her room with all the guys� photos in it and the kitchen and the living room. The rest of the house that you never see is filled with production equipment.
�The Compound has 7 ft concrete walls all around it with security guards walking the perimeter so there is no way in or out. The Mansion has microphones throughout so they can always hear what�s going on and when something good happens they send one of their 24 hr a day camera crews to investigate��
In this aerial shot you can see those walls surrounding the perimeter that he mentions:
