The Southern California estate of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky is new to the open market this fall. The Thousand Oaks property is priced at $22.9 million. Gretzky built it in 2002; he commissioned noted architect Richard Landry for the project. In 2007, Gretzky sold it to baseball great Lenny Dykstra for $18.5 million. The latter faced bankruptcy a couple of years later and was unable to hold on to it. The property went through a few changes in ownership in the subsequent years before Gretzky picked it back up in 2018 for $13.5 million.

The main house is a potently expressed Colonial Revival, with a brick façade in front and dramatic plantation design elements gracing the acreage in back. There are additional antebellum riffs in the architecture; neoclassical details in front include Doric columns and the pediment crowning the porte-cochere.

All in all, a formal entry in the Sherwood Country Club, and one that contains six bedrooms and at least eight baths in its 13,276 sq. ft. of interiors. Entering the house, an unusual opulence quickly emerges, with details including custom millwork, ebony floors, keystone arches, and plentiful moldings. The kitchen features a large butler’s pantry and a massive, marble-capped island.

Amenities in this home include a fitness room, a billiards room, a screening room, and a master suite with a private sitting room and double baths.

The lot is quite large for the neighborhood, and measures in at nearly seven acres; a tennis court, grill and dining areas, and a wood-burning pizza oven are among the recreational outdoor amenities amid the large lawns and gardens. A guest house and maid’s quarters augment the accommodations on this extraordinary and heavily stylized estate.

Gretzky won the Stanley Cup four times—each of them with the Edmonton Oilers—and led Canada to Olympic glory three times. He is largely considered the greatest hockey player ever.
