What is the cost of Alanna Gold’s Pioneertown? 'Selling Sunset' Season 8 newbie tears down movie set for her town
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: One acre of land in Pioneertown now fetches $228,000, but the exact price Alanna Gold and her husband, Adam Gold, paid for their dream town remains a mystery. 'Selling Sunset' Season 8 newbie Alanna, the glamorous latest addition to Oppenheim Group, isn't just a top-tier real estate agent—she’s also the proud owner of this quirky desert retreat.
Pioneertown holds deep sentimental value for the couple, from one of their first dates to their wedding. In Episode 5, Alanna invites her co-stars to explore the rustic town she and Adam built from the remnants of an old movie set. According to sources, this unique rustic town was sold for a mere $80,400 back in 1954!
'Selling Sunset' star Jason Oppenheim proposes a $2.2m offer to Alanna Gold for Pioneertown
Even though Jason Oppenheim and Brett Oppenheim possess considerable expertise in the real estate market, they found themselves uncertain about the actual costs associated with purchasing an entire town. This uncertainty became evident during Episode 2 of 'Selling Sunset' Season 8, where Jason ventured an estimate regarding the value of Pioneertown, suggesting that it might be worth a "couple million dollars." He even went so far as to express his interest in buying the town from Alanna, highlighting their willingness to explore unconventional real estate opportunities despite their lack of specific knowledge in this area.
Jason leaned forward, an inquisitive look on his face, and posed a rather intriguing question: “If I were to buy your town from you today, how much would I have to pay,” Alanna, taken aback by the unusual proposition, responded with a firm shake of her head, saying, “No, you guys don’t get to know that.” Undeterred by her refusal to disclose a price, Jason quickly recalibrated his approach and decided to make a bold offer, throwing out the figure of $2.2 million right then and there. However, Alanna, with a look of utter disbelief, promptly rejected the offer. And honestly, we can understand why she did. Just to put things into perspective, a modest two-bedroom property located just outside the town is currently listed on the market for a staggering $4.2 million. Clearly, Alanna knows the true worth of her town and isn’t willing to settle for anything less than its real value.
