    A Hidden Hills Mansion With Ties to Kanye West Lists for $17 Million

    by

    Here’s a little Hidden Hills real estate trivia: Kanye West briefly owned a modest, outdated home in the guard-gated enclave favored by celebs—it’s right across from the sprawling estate he once shared with ex-wife Kim Kardashian—but he never actually lived there. He acquired the property in 2021 for $4.5 million and sold it two years later for $4.25 million, a quarter-million-dollar loss for the controversial rapper, not counting holding expenses and real estate fees.

    The old house was quickly torn down to make way for something far more ambitious. Enter Three Planes, a stunning modern equestrian estate by visionary designer Jae Omar and developer H2 Development, now hitting the market for just under $17 million with Veronika Khomyn at The Agency. 

    The house measures a commodious 11,000 square feet, while the luxury mini-ranch sprawls out over an acre. A bold facade wrapped in Shou Sugi Ban charred wood siding, Santa Barbara stone cladding, and hand-applied plaster greets you as you approach the home. A slate and metal roof caps it off with a rustic-luxe modern ranch vibe that fits right in with the affluent suburban community’s equestrian heritage.

    Step inside, and Omar’s signature organic modernism is everywhere: rich woods, textured stone, and soft earth-toned plaster combine with soaring ceilings and exposed wooden beams. The light-colored wood floors and neutral furnishings create a calm, grounded feeling.

    The home’s layout strikes a perfect balance between grand and intimate. There are five bedrooms and six full bathrooms plus a powder room. The primary suite is truly a retreat, featuring a steam shower, sauna, and sculptural soaking tub designed for serious relaxation. Plus, it sports a private terrace and floor-to-ceiling fireplace. The four other secondary bedrooms on the upper floor each have en suite baths, offering privacy and comfort for family or guests.

    Wellness and entertainment get their own dedicated wing, complete with a fully equipped gym, a private spa, a plush media room, and a convenient wet bar. Collectors and connoisseurs will appreciate the temperature-controlled wine room.

    The kitchen is a showstopper—finished with top-tier materials and appliances. It connects seamlessly to a generous breakfast nook and walk-in pantry, while formal living and dining rooms flank the space. Outside, the narrative continues with a resort-style pool and spa, firepit, outdoor kitchen, and a yoga deck. And, true to Hidden Hills’ equestrian roots, a detached horse stable stands ready to support an active lifestyle.

    Omar and H2 are no strangers to celebrity-favored projects. Omar’s previous works—like ONIN, ODIN, and Valley Meadow—have attracted interest from stars like DJ Zedd, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, Meghan Trainor, and even Cardi B and Offset. Meanwhile, Kardashian still lives in the Hidden Hills home that she and West originally purchased as a couple in 2014 for $20 million and then had transformed into a minimalist’s dream by Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt. During their divorce, the reality star bought the house from the rapper for $23 million, and it has recently undergone an extensive renovation and expansion.

      Kate Moss’s Former London Home Hits the Market for $8 Million

      by

      A one-time hideaway for one of Britain’s most iconic supermodels has hit the market.

      Tucked away behind high walls on a quiet stretch of Greville Road, just beyond the heart of St John’s Wood, the former London residence of Kate Moss is now being offered for £5.95 million (roughly $7.7 million) through Arlington Residential.

      “My firm’s association with this beautiful period house goes back over 30 years to when we first sold the property for less than £800,000,” says Arlington Residential director Marc Schneiderman. “At that time, it was arranged over two main floors.”

      Measuring roughly 4,740 square feet, the Victorian-era, white stucco home offers a combination of privacy, charm, and pedigree. Moss purchased the six-bedroom property in 2002 for £1.75 million ($2.3 million), moving in with her daughter Lila Grace, who was born that year. She lived there for a decade, reportedly adding her signature flair to the interiors, including a jungle-themed living room and a neon-lit party space. Those more playful elements have since been replaced with a clean, neutral palette that creates an elegant, understated vibe throughout.

      The home has a clean, neutral color palette.

      Arlington Residential

      “The house is almost unseen from the road, appealing to buyers who seek discretion and privacy,” adds Schneiderman. “It features a surprisingly large southwest-facing walled rear garden as well as a beautiful high-ceiling drawing room.”

      One of the home’s most distinctive upgrades is its lower-ground floor extension—completed before Moss moved in—which created a light-filled kitchen, family room, and casual entertaining area that opens directly onto the garden. Other highlights include an elegant drawing room with high ceilings and access to a full-width terrace, a spacious principal suite with dual dressing rooms, a study, a garden room, and secure gated parking for several cars.

      The rear garden—unusually large for London—acts as a natural extension of the home, with both upper and lower terraces designed to maximize indoor-outdoor living. Traditional wooden floors and oversized windows help flood the interiors with natural light, while crisp white walls give the home a fresh, gallery-like feel.

      Moss sold the home in 2012 for £6.8 million as she relocated to the Cotswolds, trading city life for the countryside. The neighborhood, meanwhile, has long drawn a high-wattage crowd. Just around the corner, a mansion on St. John’s Wood Park formerly rented by Rihanna during her U.K. stint was recently sold for £27.5 million ($33.4 million), setting a local price-per-square-foot record. The pop icon reportedly paid £18,000 per week to lease the home while based in London between 2018 and 2020. You should be in good company, then.

      Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt Just Dropped $110 Million on Aaron Spelling’s Former L.A. Mansion

      by

      Over the past several years, Eric Schmidt’s ever-growing real estate portfolio has been the talk of several towns—he’s spent hundreds of millions buying up prime properties in locales like Montecito, Miami Beach, San Francisco, and London. As first reported by The Wall Street Journal, the former Google CEO has now added a trophy house in the affluent Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles to his vast collection, doling out $110 million for the Manor, a Holmby Hills megamansion built by the late primetime TV titan Aaron Spelling and his socialite wife, Candy.

      Including his new house, Schmidt owns well over $300 million worth of luxury real estate in the L.A. area alone. Not only does the current CEO of aerospace innovator Relativity Space lay claim to several other residences in Holmby Hills, including Gregory Peck’s onetime abode and a $65 million estate that served as the longtime home of the late hotelier Barron Hilton, but he also possesses a $65 million parcel of undeveloped land in the mountains high above Beverly Hills that was last owned by deceased tech billionaire Paul Allen.

      As for his latest acquisition, it was originally listed for $165 million in February 2022, with the price dropping to $137.5 million in April 2024 before ultimately going to Schmidt at a big discount. The listing was held by Drew Fenton of Carolwood Estates, with Linda May of Carolwood repping Schmidt.

      The Holmby Hills mansion was custom built by Aaron and Candy Spelling in the 1990s and has also been owned by Formula One heiress Petra Ecclestone.

      The 56,000-square-foot mansion was custom built and resided in for years by the Spellings. Completed in the early 1990s and recently updated to the tune of around $20 million by a previous owner, English Formula One racing heiress Petra Ecclestone, the chateau-style dwelling sprawls across nearly five manicured acres with numerous outdoor amenities. There’s a massive backyard lawn, a pool and spa, fountains, a tennis court, citrus trees, and rose gardens, as well as two separate motor courts and covered parking with room for dozens of vehicles.

      The perks continue inside the opulent limestone-clad structure, complete with a bowling alley, a movie theater, a nightclub, a wine cellar, an aquarium, and a beauty salon with massage and tanning rooms, plus 14 bedrooms and a jaw-dropping 27 bathrooms. Not bad for a place that’s touted in marketing materials as “undoubtedly one of the finest estates in the world.”

      Per WSJ, Schmidt and his wife, Wendy—both avid philanthropists who recently partnered with the L.A. Museum of Contemporary Art to create the Environment and Art Prize fund in their name—bought the home primarily to host meetings and events for local nonprofit and cultural institutions.

      A ‘Futurama’ Star’s Bauhaus-Inspired L.A. Home Is Up for Grabs at $2 Million

      by

      Voice actor John DiMaggio has decided to part ways with his Los Angeles home after 13 years of ownership. The entertainment industry veteran—best known for portraying the beloved yet foul-mouthed, human-hating robot Bender in the animated sci-fi comedy series Futurama—has stuck a nearly $2 million price tag on the Bauhaus-style digs, which are tucked away in the foothills of Studio City. Adara Salim of the Beverly Hills Estates holds the listing.

      Designed by modernist architect John Bleser in the late 1970s and purchased by DiMaggio and his actress wife Kate Miller back in spring 2012 for around $900,000, the dark gray stucco structure has three bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 2,700 square feet across three levels. As first reported by the New York Post, the open-concept interiors boast carefully preserved original detailing alongside recent modern updates.

      The three-story house includes a conservatory with double-height windows.

      Tucked away on a cul-de-sac parcel spanning less than a quarter of an acre, the house is highlighted by a spacious fireside great room sporting a bar with a built-in beverage cooler and large sliding glass doors opening out to a terrace overlooking a custom river-inspired waterfall. The bottom floor also hosts a media nook, as well as a bonus space that’s currently set up as a studio/office but could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom.

      Up one level is a conservatory with double-height windows and a glass ceiling, plus a combined living and dining area that connects to a kitchen outfitted with LG and Viking appliances, a breakfast bar, a sink topped by a greenhouse window, and access to a deck warmed by a fire pit. All of the bedrooms can be found on the top floor, including a primary suite that comes with a large glass-front fireplace surrounded by black subway tile, a private balcony, and a luxe bath equipped with dual vanities and a frameless shower.

      DiMaggio’s recording studio holds a life-sized Bender statue given to him by the creators of Futurama.

      DiMaggio’s face may not be familiar to the general public, but you’ve almost certainly heard his voice at some point. As the actor behind numerous characters and “one of the finest exponents of the genre,” per Cultured Vultures, he’s starred in numerous animated series, films, and video games. In addition to Bender Bending Rodríguez, some of his most notable characters include Jake the Dog in Adventure Time, King Zøg in Disenchantment, and Marcus Fenix in the Gears of War franchise.

      The couple, who recently sold a Palm Springs home they’ve owned for 11 years, spend summers in the Hamptons and continue to maintain a home in Manhattan’s West Village. While they are trying to decide where they will permanently lay down roots, however, their L.A. home still holds a special place. “It’s the house we bought when we first got married,” DiMaggio told the Post. “So there’s a lot of nostalgia attached to it.”

      Erewhon’s Owners Just Sold Their Luxurious Bel Air Mansion for $28.5 Million

      by

      The couple behind L.A.’s cult-favorite (and famously expensive) Erewhon markets, Anthony and Josephine Antoci, have taken in $28.5 million on the sale of an ultra-modern mansion in Bel Air—more than $6 million above what they paid just over a year ago. It seems the couple spent little, if any, time there: they put the place up for rent almost as soon as they signed the deed, and it was last priced at $200,000 per month.

      Records reveal the new owner as entrepreneur Dara Mir, better known to pop culture enthusiasts as the soon-to-be-ex-husband of attorney, businesswoman, and reality TV star Lily Ghalichi. Mir appears to have scored a deal, ultimately getting the hillside spread for $4.5 million less than the final asking price, not to mention $8.5 million below the original ask of almost $37 million.

      In addition to the sculptural staircase, an elevator stops at each of the home’s three floors.

      The Sarbonne Road residence, with six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms in about 15,000 square feet, is well known among high-end property watchers in Los Angeles. An entity tied to Nigerian businessman Kola Aluko acquired the one-acre hillside property in 2012 for $24.5 million. At some later point, Thomas Flohr, founder of the private jet company VistaJet, became the owner in some kind of off-market deal to settle a debt with Aluko, according to a report in the Real Deal.

      When Aluko ran afoul of the U.S. government over claims that he defrauded the Nigerian government out of more than a billion dollars, the Department of Justice attempted to seize the property, which had already been transferred to Flohr. According to reports, Flohr managed to stave off a seizure by paying $16 million for the property. The private aviation tycoon promptly re-listed the place at $63 million, a wildly optimistic number that plummeted to $39.9 million before the Antocis came along and, in May 2024, scooped up the pad for a massively discounted $22.5 million.

      A gated driveway climbs to a circular motor court, where a curved stairway leads to the main entrance. A wooden door set in a corner of glass framed by towering walls of rough-cut limestone blocks opens to a triple-height entrance hall. Interior spaces are defined by soaring 16-foot ceilings, travertine floors, a sculptural staircase, and disappearing walls of glass. An elevator means moving between the home’s three floors takes no more effort than the push of a couple of buttons.

      The six-bedroom home’s 10 bathrooms include two in the primary suite.

      A formal living room with a wet bar and linear fireplace and a city-view formal dining room are accompanied by a spacious great room that opens to the pool and incorporates a casual lounge, a dining space, and a sleek family kitchen. (There’s a secondary chef’s kitchen for making a mess.)

      Other highlights include a wood-paneled study, a screening room with another wet bar, and a fitness/wellness center with a gym. A spa sits alongside a slender infinity-edge lap pool, while a huge terrace with panoramic views over L.A. is shaded by nine mature olive trees.

      Kevin Booker, David Parnes, and James Harris of Carolwood Estates repped the sellers; Tyrone McKillen and Andrew Hurley of Plus Real Estate represented the buyers.

      An Eyewear Mogul’s Brutalist Beverly Hills Mansion Lists for $65 Million

      by

      James Jannard bought a two-acre promontory lot in the Trousdale Estates area of Beverly Hills for nearly $20 million in late 2009, two years after he sold the Oakley eyewear brand he founded in the 1970s to Luxottica for $2.1 billion in cash.

      The product designer, inventor, and serial entrepreneur then engaged Los Angeles-based iDGroup to create an avant-garde home that has been called a cross between Southern England’s ancient Stonehenge monument and the Bat Cave. Five years and millions of dollars later, the ultra-bespoke spread was finished, replete with views overlooking the entire Los Angeles Basin.

      Jannard now has his Brutalist-style showpiece up for sale for a second time at a speck under $65 million, about $3 million less than what he wanted when the place first hit the market in June 2024. Aaron Kirman of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California holds the listing.

      A custom motorbike graces the entry to the Brutalist home.

      Mike Kelley

      Fronted by a gated oval motor court flanked by crenellated concrete formations and a four-car garage, the exposed concrete and aluminum structure offers five bedrooms and nine baths in roughly 18,300 square feet sprawled across two levels.

      Adorning the cavernous interiors are nearly 100 oversized columns, perforated metal ceilings, specially designed acoustic panels, brushed steel details, custom fixtures and furnishings, and retractable walls of glass. Glitzy amenities include an elevator, a movie theater, a gym, a bar, a wine cellar, and a separate guest apartment. Outdoors, the manicured grounds hold an infinity pool with a floating sundeck.

      Some of the more unusual design features include an industrial fireplace and metal soaking tub.

      Upon entry, a sky-lit foyer serves as a display space for a custom motorbike from Confederate Motors. From there, a sunken living area is anchored by an industrial two-way fireplace boasting a floor-to-ceiling mechanical hood, a formal dining room is topped by a futuristic light fixture, and a chrome-clad “show” kitchen is accompanied by a commercial-grade prep kitchen.

      Accessed via a curving hallway, the primary suite boasts a giant metal soaking tub inscribed with a phrase in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Elvish language—an homage to Jannard’s recently sold company Red Digital, which built the high-res cameras used to film The Hobbit franchise.

      Per Wallpaper Magazine, the house has served as an urban pied-à-terre, a meeting spot, and a storage space for the 76-year-old L.A. native. He’s also reportedly owned other properties in Newport Beach, plus two islands in Fiji and another in the Pacific Northwest. Last year, he sold an oceanfront Malibu mansion he picked up in 2012 for $75 million to an unnamed buyer in an off-market deal for a record-breaking $210 million.
