In February of 2021, I was hired by Santiago Arana from The Agency to photograph this incredible estate, Villa Ruchello. I got to meet billionaire Shane Smith, (executive chairman of Vice Media) the seller of this home and who showed me around his amazing property for sale. Reminiscent of the best mansions on the French Riviera or Amalfi Coast, Villa Ruchello is nestled behind a three-acre jungle of palm and fruit trees, ferns and lush gardens. It has been the background setting for the film Beverly Hills Cop and Entourage and was once the home for several members of Fleetwood Mac.
