Among the perks that come with Elizabeth Taylor's Bel-Air mansion? Her English rose garden.

Did Elizabeth Taylor plant and maintain those stunning roses herself? Not exactly. But that doesn't mean they meant any less to her. It's that garden, that Taylor and former husband Larry Fortensky designed at a $200,000 cost, that inspired many of her fragrances -- and apparently the legend herself. "I can look out on the lovely garden, where one tree in particular inspires me if I am down. It has an exotic, magical quality, like the woods that come alive in The Wizard of Oz," she said of the space.
Think the new owner will treasure it as much? Hopefully after paying $8.6 million they will! Take a look at it today:
