Reality TV royalty is officially moving up in the world—literally. Beloved Below Deck star Aesha Scott and her longtime boyfriend Scott Dobson have made headlines this week after purchasing a lavish $7 million mansion nestled in the hills of Bel Air, Los Angeles, marking a bold new chapter in the couple’s increasingly high-profile lifestyle.
From the High Seas to the Hills
Aesha, known for her quick wit, infectious laugh, and unflappable energy on Below Deck Mediterranean and Below Deck Down Under, has spent years navigating the drama of the yachting world. Now, it seems she’s ready to drop anchor—on dry land. And not just any land: a 7,000-square-foot estate perched in one of the most exclusive zip codes in the United States.
Sources close to the couple confirm that the home purchase was finalized earlier this month, with the couple quietly closing the deal through a private trust to avoid fanfare. But the stunning property hasn’t stayed a secret for long, with drone shots, luxury interior peeks, and fan theories already lighting up Reddit threads and Bravo fan pages.
Inside the $7 Million Bel Air Estate
The mansion, located in a gated enclave of upper Bel Air, offers sweeping panoramic views of the Los Angeles skyline, the Pacific Ocean, and on a clear day—even Catalina Island. Designed in a sleek, modern architectural style with warm wooden accents and floor-to-ceiling glass walls, the home oozes both elegance and comfort.
Here’s what $7 million gets you in Bel Air:
-
5 Bedrooms, 6 Bathrooms
-
An infinity-edge pool with ocean views
-
A private screening room
-
Chef’s kitchen with double islands
-
Temperature-controlled wine cellar
-
Smart home integration
-
Spa-style master bath with a soaking tub overlooking the canyon
-
Indoor-outdoor living design with sliding glass walls
“This is a statement home,” said one LA luxury real estate agent familiar with the listing. “It’s stylish without being cold, spacious but still intimate—a perfect match for someone like Aesha, who’s warm, vibrant, and full of life.”
A Love Story Anchored in Adventure
Aesha and Scott’s relationship has long been admired by fans. Though Scott Dobson tends to keep a lower profile, he’s frequently seen by Aesha’s side in her Instagram posts, often captured during their globe-trotting adventures. The couple, originally based in New Zealand, has spent the last few years bouncing between yachts, international festivals, and exotic destinations.
Aesha has often referred to Scott as her “rock” and “anchor” during the emotional highs and lows of life in the spotlight.
“He’s the calm to my chaos,” she said in a past interview. “We’ve been through a lot together, and no matter where we are—in the Mediterranean, Australia, or now the U.S.—he’s home to me.”
From Bravo Star to Lifestyle Maven?
Insiders speculate that this home purchase could signal a pivot in Aesha’s career trajectory. While she's still filming and deeply connected to the Below Deck franchise, fans are wondering if this new phase could lead to a Bravo spin-off, a wellness brand, or even a lifestyle YouTube series.
“Aesha has that rare star quality—she’s grounded, funny, and real. She connects with people,” said one Bravo production staffer. “This move might be more than just a change of address. It might be a whole new chapter.”
Fan Reactions: From Cheers to Envy
The news has sent Bravo fans into a frenzy, with most reactions landing somewhere between joyful admiration and light-hearted envy.
“Aesha deserves this house more than I deserve my morning coffee,” joked one Twitter user.
“She went from yacht crew to Bel Air mansion owner? Now THAT is a glow-up,” wrote another fan on Reddit.
And the congratulations poured in on Instagram after Aesha posted a candid photo of herself barefoot on the new home’s marble staircase with the caption:
“No more bunk beds, baby!”
What’s Next for Aesha and Scott?
The couple is reportedly planning a housewarming party in the coming weeks, with invitations sent to select castmates from the Below Deck universe, along with friends from New Zealand and LA’s wellness and entertainment scenes.
While Bravo has yet to confirm whether the move will be featured in any upcoming series, fans are already hoping for a sneak peek of the Bel Air home in future episodes—or perhaps in a Cribs-style special.
For now, Aesha and Scott are settling into their new life with sunshine, city views, and plenty of closet space. And after years of tight yacht cabins and chaotic charter guests, they’ve more than earned a little luxury.
