California's picturesque Carmel area has long been a low-key haven for some of Hollywood's most successful. Think Clint Eastwood, Betty White, and Brad Pitt. Another movie industry heavy hitter, film composer Alan Silvestri, whose credits include "Back to the Future" and "The Avengers," made a sprawling compound in the Carmel Highlands community his family home about 16 years ago. Now, the Grammy winner's woodsy 14-acre hilltop spread, with a spacious main residence inspired by the iconic Ahwahnee hotel in Yosemite, as well as several guest cottages, a pool, and a tennis/pickleball court, is up for grabs. Meanwhile, in the upscale suburbs of Atlanta, NBA veteran Dwight Howard has bounced his 10-bedroom mansion on the market for $11.3 million. Along with a room that houses the former L.A. Laker's snakes, there are several kitchens and guest apartments and a total of 21 bathrooms.
