Reality TV Real Estate
A mansion known for its appearances on “The Bachelorette” and various reality TV shows is now available for purchase. The property owner has revealed potential uses for the estate.
A sprawling mansion, which has played a backdrop role in “The Bachelorette” and other reality shows, is up for sale. This expansive property covers over 100 acres, offering a glimpse into its glamorous reality TV past.

Located in California’s scenic Simi Valley, Hummingbird Nest Ranch is a vast equestrian property featuring a 17,000-square-foot Spanish Colonial villa. Set on 124 acres, the estate includes multiple guest houses, apartments, barns, a polo field, olive groves, and vineyards. Among these is the Sitting Bull Cottage, a guesthouse that boasts over a century of history, making it one of the oldest residences in the vicinity.
The home’s current owner is billionaire Kieu Hoang, who made his money in plasma-derived medicine products. He purchased the home for $33 million in 2015, and admitted he viewed it as a “trophy” home (per the Wall Street Journal). He said he wanted to sell it to focus on renewable energy.
Hoang rents the home out for events. He also rented it out for filming. The Biggest Loser and Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette filmed on the property. Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette — which was mired in controversy before ABC pulled it this month — did not film here.
Hoan said potential buyers can use the $78 million property for a variety of purposes.
“It could be used, sort of like a personal residence, maybe a place to have parties, something to show off, like a nice car,” he said.
The home has 57 bedrooms and 40 bathrooms. Sotheby’s International Realty, which listed the home, said the new owners can use it for hotel, casitas, conference center, and hospitality purposes.
