Taylor Swift filmed her new music video for “Patient Zero” inside a Brutalist-style mansion in Beverly Hills that sold for $46.95 million in June 2026. Swift directed and stars in the video alongside Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell, which premiered at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards on September 27. The house, at 410 Trousdale Place, was identified by PEOPLE as the setting for the story and is marketed at 18,344 square feet, with five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, retractable glass walls and an infinity-edge pool. The property sold on June 23, several months before the video’s premiere. Oakley founder James Jannard was the seller, and The Real Deal reported that he spent roughly seven years constructing the residence after buying the site in 2009. The house had been listed for $64.995 million in 2025 before its asking price was reduced in 2026.
Inside the Beverly Hills mansion where Taylor Swift filmed “Patient Zero”
The mansion serves as the home of the characters played by Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell in “Patient Zero.” Swift plays the ghost of Farrell’s former wife, whom he murdered, while Johnson plays his current wife. The story uses the house’s imposing architecture as the backdrop for a relationship haunted by its past. Swift said the project allowed her to explore genres including gothic ghost stories, true crime and psychological thrillers. In an Instagram post following the premiere, she described the house as a way of representing the coldness of a relationship that had “faded and atrophied.” The stark concrete-and-glass setting consequently became closely tied to the video’s visual concept.The property sits at 410 Trousdale Place in Beverly Hills’ Trousdale Estates, on a lot measuring about 1.99 acres. MLS-based records list 2014 as the property’s year built. That date differs from the construction timeline reported by The Real Deal, which said Jannard spent roughly seven years constructing the residence after purchasing the site in 2009. Property records show that Jannard bought the site for $19.9 million in December 2009. The Real Deal subsequently reported that the Oakley founder spent years developing the property into the large concrete-and-glass residence that eventually came to market.
A Brutalist mansion with 96 concrete columns and retractable glass walls
The home’s architecture is dominated by exposed concrete, metal and glass. Coverage of the property has highlighted 96 concrete columns, while the interiors use industrial materials alongside large expanses of glass. The residence was designed by ID Group. One of the house’s most distinctive features is a retractable glass wall that opens the main living area toward the infinity-edge pool and the views beyond the property. The glass wall is also visible in “Patient Zero,” including a scene in which Swift, Johnson and Farrell stand together inside the residence. The entrance is arranged around a circular motor court surrounded by substantial concrete forms. Property coverage also describes space for a motorcycle display near the skylit entry. Other amenities include a theatre, elevator, gym and wine cellar.The reported size of the house varies depending on the source. The current MLS listing gives the living area as 18,344 square feet, the figure also used in PEOPLE’s coverage. Public-record sources, however, list a substantially smaller 11,357-square-foot building area. Using the 18,344-square-foot figure from the listing, the $46.95 million sale price works out to approximately $2,559 per square foot. The bedroom and bathroom figures have also varied over the property’s marketing history. The current MLS record lists five bedrooms and nine bathrooms. A 2024 report citing Realtor.com described the property as having five bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. The different figures appear in reporting from different periods, so the current MLS count is used for the property’s 2026 specifications.
How a $68 million mansion sold for $46.95 million
The Beverly Hills estate had a lengthy sales history before its 2026 transaction. Compass’s MLS history shows that it first entered the market in June 2024 with an asking price of $68 million. That listing was withdrawn on April 13, 2025. The house returned to the market on July 28, 2025, for $64.995 million. Its asking price was reduced to $59.485 million on January 8, 2026. The property went pending on March 11 before closing on June 23 for $46.95 million.The final sale price was about $18.045 million, or roughly 28%, below the $64.995 million asking price at which the property returned to the market in 2025. It was also approximately $12.535 million, or about 21%, below the final $59.485 million asking price. The Real Deal reported that the $46.95 million transaction tied financier Leon Black’s March 2026 Beverly Hills sale as the area’s most expensive residential deal of the year at that point. The publication also reported that Jannard had previously sold his Malibu estate for $210 million.Jannard’s original land purchase was considerably lower than the eventual value of the completed property. Property records show that he paid $19.9 million for the site in 2009. The 2026 sale price was therefore about $27.05 million higher than the original land purchase, before construction and other ownership costs are taken into account. Just over three months after the sale closed, “Patient Zero” premiered at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 27. The mansion’s raw concrete forms, expanses of glass and dramatic setting provide the backdrop for Swift’s ghostly appearance in the video, turning a private Beverly Hills residence into one of the most striking locations associated with her latest visual project.
