The Price of Cage's Cage Receding

Nicolas Cage is slashing the price on his Bel-Air Tudor mansion by $5,001,000 -- making it a thinning hair away from a slick $30 million.

The amenities include nine bedrooms, nine bathrooms, an Olympic-size pool, a wine cellar and a 35-seat home theater on an acre of land. Fortress of Solitude, it ain't.

The L.A. Times is reporting Cage may be moving to a penthouse in the Biscuit Co. Lofts in L.A.'s downtown Arts District, which was going for a paltry at $4.9 million.
