This sprawling five-bedroom house in Beverly Hills is where Hollywood sex symbol Raquel Welch spent her final days.
Complete with a pool, gym and private balcony, the $4.4 million property is where the star is said to have lived a life of solitude after a series of failed marriages.
Welch, famous for wearing a fur bikini in the 1966 fantasy adventure film “One Million Year BC,” died Wednesday morning after a “brief illness,” her manager said.
Reports have since surfaced that the 82-year-old had given up on men in her later years, opting instead for a more solitary life.
Now, exclusive photos obtained by Dailymail.com show the stunning property that Welch called home.

The impressive property was purchased for $2.5 million by Welch in 2009, but real estate websites estimate it could now sell for upwards of $4 million.
Public records show Welch purchased the property for $2.5 million in 2009.

It comes after experts shed light on Welch’s later years, revealing that he rejected his legacy as an international sex symbol.
“She is not interested in finding a partner because she is perfectly happy living alone,” a source told Radar Online.
The source suggested that while she had many options, Welch felt she was better suited to living on her own.
“The last thing you need in your life right now is a man in the house who you have to cook and clean for,” they added.
Welch rose to fame in the 1960s after roles in blockbusters.
The iconic poster of her in the fur bikini launched her status as an international sex symbol.
Despite her earlier lifestyle, however, reports suggest she hardly ventured out in public in her later years, preferring to live alone in sunny Los Angeles.
Welch’s life as a recluse came after a series of failed marriages, the first of which was to her high school sweetheart James Welch in 1959, and the couple shared two children, Latanee ‘Tahnee’ and Damon Welch.
The property features a pool, gym and hot tub along with a private balcony attached to the master bedroom.
Welch is understood to have shied away from his reputation as a Hollywood sex symbol in his later years, opting instead for a solitary life in his Beverly Hills mansion.
DailyMail.com spotted Raquel Welch in January after she got a manicure in Los Angeles.

She divorced Welch a year after moving to Los Angeles in 1963 in search of fame and fortune, where she met her next husband and business manager, Patrick Curtis.
The two married in 1967, and he suggested that she continue to use her ex’s name instead of her maiden name Tajeda so she wouldn’t be typecast as a Latina actress.
The two divorced in 1972, which led to her marrying two more times in her search for love.
Welch walked down the aisle in 1980 to marry filmmaker Andre Weinfield, which ended up being their longest relationship after they stayed married for 10 years.
During their time together, the French media insulted the couple as “Beauty and the Beast,” however Weinfeld said closer weekly in 2015 that the duo had a ‘very happy marriage’.
He revealed that they were separated by distance, because “she went back to La La Land and I stayed in New York and Paris.”
He promised me he would sail into the sunset, and I can see he hasn’t. She got married after me,” she added.
The actress swore off men after her fourth marriage, to husband Richard Palmer, pictured right, which lasted from 1999 to 2004.
After moving to Los Angeles in 1963, Welch met her second husband, Patrick Curtis, right, whom she was married to from 1967 to 1972.
Her last marriage was to Richard Palmer in 1999. At the time, Palmer praised her famous husband, saying, “My wife is a living legend.” I have good seats in fights. You go where you want to go.
The couple’s marriage lasted just five years until 2004, prompting Welch to vow not to marry forever.
Speaking about her failure to find lasting love, she told Piers Morgan on his Life Stories show in 2015: “I’m too set in my ways.”
Although she rarely ventures out in public, DailyMail.com spotted Welch last year at a beauty salon in Beverly Hills, looking as glamorous as ever in her 80s.
She was seen wearing gold hoop earrings and a white top with black pants, patiently reading magazines in the waiting room until her beautician was ready.
Prior to her July outing, the low-key Welch was last photographed by DailyMail.com in September 2021.
That marked the first time she had been seen in two years.
