She already has a lavish nine-bedroom Bel Air home, but it seems that Tamara Ecclestone is looking to expand her property portfolio and is said to have set her sights on Walt Disney's former estate.

It looked like the heiress, 28, would have plenty to discuss with fiance Jay Cutler as the pair dined at Madeo restaurant in West Hollywood on Thursday.

The brunette wore a pretty blue dress and Christian Louboutin heels as she enjoyed the meal with Jay and her best friend Scott Harvey-Nicholls.

Her dinner date came as it was reported she spent over an hour at the 35,000 square foot Carolwood Mansion in Holmby Hills on Monday, according to TMZ.

The property, which is listed at $ 99million (£65million) boasts eight bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, is more expensive than her sister Petra's home in the same area, which came with an eye-watering $ 85million price tag.

A spokesperson for Tamara declined to comment on the reports.

The huge home of the legendary Walt Disney is being sold by realtor Mauricio Umansky, Kyle Richards' husband.

The property is not far from the residence where Michael Jackson died. 

The home was built in 2001 on the former estate of Walt Disney and sits in 4 acres, boasting a wine cellar, pool house, tennis court and a putting green.

Disney's original house was demolished around 12 years ago due to asbestos concerns, with property investor Gabriel Brener building the current home.

There is also a custom movie room, three bars, library, gym, and two safe rooms, according to the particulars.

Should Tamara want live-in help the home also has staff quarters.

Tamara may well be on the hunt for a larger property given that she is now preparing to wed businessman Jay, following a whirlwind romance.

The brunette is certainly building quite the property portfolio - she also has a £45million home in Kensington Palace Gardens â€" London's 'billionaires' row'.

On Monday night Tamara and Jay paid a visit to the Fig and Olive restaurant in Los Angeles for a dinner date and the pair showed off their recently acquired tans.

Tamara was out flaunting her bronzed complexion again on Wednesday in a neon vest and tight black workout trousers for lunch with friends.
