This handsome Los Angeles home once belonged to a famously eccentric aviation tycoon — and now it’s looking for a new generation of owners.

In Hancock Park, and standing on the eighth hole of the Wilshire Country Club golf course, this 1920s Spanish Colonial was formerly home to the billionaire Howard Hughes, who was also a movie mogul during his career.

Now, the 10,179-square-foot estate asks $23 million for sale, according to a release from the listing brokerage.

The Wall Street Journal first reported news of the offering. The outlet noted that — this being Hughes’s home for more than a decade during his heyday — the residence aptly appeared in the 2004 Martin Scorsese film “The Aviator” about Hughes’s time in Hollywood.

These days, the homeowners are husband and wife Ash and Niroupa Shah, who are parting ways with the property to move east near their kids’ boarding school. The pair spent more than a year meticulously renovating the spread, bringing the nearly century-old crib to today’s standards.

But before their time, in the late 1920s, Hughes had it as his own. The Journal notes that, according to the 2004 book “Howard Hughes: His Life and Madness,” he rented it for $1,000 per month before shelling out $135,000 to buy it in 1929. He resided there until the 1940s, when he moved out and said he became a resident of Texas to avoid California income taxes.

In the 2006-published “Hughes: The Private Diaries, Memos and Letters,” Hughes had sought a “suitable” house as his profile grew in Hollywood, with his check list including stone floors in the kitchen and windows with permanent screens to keep insects outside.

During Hughes’s residency, the actress Katharine Hepburn lived with him there.

Hughes, who died in 1976 at the age of 70, also owned 78% of Trans World Airlines’s stock — and was also known as a loner and a recluse who struggled with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

The property stands on nearly three-quarters of an acre — and the home itself has eight bedrooms, as well as an apartment over the three-car garage, according to the listing. This being LA, there’s an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, as well as a pool that the current owners replaced. Outdoor spaces additionally include a courtyard with seating and a fireplace.

For original touches, the Shahs kept the hardwood floors and the home’s tile work — and even had the front door rebuilt based on the original plans. In the basement, Hughes’s vault remains, but a prior owner converted it into a 2,500-bottle wine cellar.

Images additionally show a kitchen that dazzles with bronze tones, wood-beamed ceilings over a cozy sitting area with a fireplace and wide views outside through large exposures.

David Berg and F. Ron Smith of Compass have the listing.
