    Kanye West Sells a Wyoming Ranch as Kim Kardashian Expands Her SoCal Estate

    by

    Kanye West and Kim Kardashian split up years ago, but their individual real estate moves still make headlines—sometimes concurrently. While Ye has been shedding West Coast properties (sometimes at a tremendous loss), The Kardashians star is quietly creating a fortress of privacy back in SoCal’s celeb-packed Hidden Hills enclave.

    The latest on West is that he has sold Bighorn Mountain Ranch, one of his two sprawling properties in Wyoming, for $14 million, and the buyers are the very same family he bought it from back in 2019. The 6,713-acre high-country estate, previously owned by David and Paula Flitner, returns to the family under the stewardship of its next generation, Greg and Pam Flitner. West’s wife, Bianca Censori, notarized the sale on his behalf in Switzerland in late September, according to Cowboy State Daily.

    Surrounded by national forest, Bighorn Mountain Ranch dates to 1906 and is a true Western paradise. Think rolling grass-covered hills, deep tree-lined canyons, and game-filled bluffs framing multiple lodges and cabins. Amenities like heated helicopter pads, trout-filled creeks, and prime elk-hunting terrain blur the line between rugged adventure and high-end escapism.

    Kanye West sold back Bighorn Mountain Ranch in Wyoming to its original owners.

    When West acquired the ranch in 2019, his ambitious vision included a combined mega-ranch featuring a “Yeezy Campus,” self-sustaining creative spaces, and affordable “Yecosystem” housing for the homeless. He also used Bighorn as a private retreat during his divorce from Kardashian, calling it his “therapy ranch,” where he worked on his 2021 albumDonda and hosted family and high-profile guests—including Justin Bieber. 

    The younger Filtners quickly listed two portions of the vast spread: Snowshoe Lodge and Mountain Island popped up at $5.9 million, and Bighorn Mountain Hideout was listed for $5.75 million. West is also looking to shed his other Wyoming compound, Monster Lake Ranch, currently listed with a $12 million price tag. Hayden Outdoors Real Estate represents all three properties.

    While there have been reports of unpermitted construction that was halted and the tearing down of some buildings at Monster Lake, Pam Filtner noted in the Cowboy State Daily that the Bighorn Ranch structures have thankfully remained intact. “They may need a little TLC, but they’re all solid.”

    Meanwhile, the All’s Fair actress and soon-to-be-attorney has been quietly fortifying her Hidden Hills compound. Just days before turning 45, the SKIMS founder made a clandestine off-market deal valued at $7.1 million for the home next door to her $60 million mansion. The four-bedroom, five-bath property on 1.4 acres features a pool, spa, and private tennis court. 

    She already owns a neighboring home—scooped up in 2022 for $6.3 million—and whether she folds her new purchase into her six-plus-acre spread or repurposes it remains a mystery, but one thing is clear—she’s creating a sizable buffer of security and privacy around her already sprawling estate. The acquisition coincides with a major renovation of her primary residence, an overhaul that reportedly doubled its size and incorporated below-ground additions like a wellness center and guardhouse.

    Different landscapes, different ambitions—but the real estate game is still very much a Kardashian-West affair.

      1950s Box-Office Star William Holden’s Former Palm Springs Home Lists for $11 Million

      by

      William Holden passed away in 1981 at age 63, but the popular star’s legacy lives on at this Palm Springs estate he called home for over a decade, not to mention a 40-year career that saw him snag a 1954 Oscar for his role as a cynical prisoner of war-turned-hero in Stalag 17 and then go on to earn two more nods for Sunset Boulevard and Network.

      Stylishly restored and revamped in recent years, Holden’s former Coachella Valley oasis is now on the market in the Deepwell Estates neighborhood for a speck under $10 million. Aaron Leider of The Agency holds the listing.

      The minimalist living room is anchored by an original raised-hearth fireplace.

      Completed in the mid-1950s by master builder Joe Pawling for wealthy Illinois philanthropists and socialites George and Marcia Barrett, Holden occupied the digs from 1966 to 1977. Hitchcock actress Tippi Hedren—Melanie Griffith’s mother—later lived there during the 1990s. Last sold in 2017 for $3.4 million, the restored and modernized spread was designated as a Class 1 Historic Site by the city of Palm Springs in 2018.

      Resting amid four parcels spanning nearly an acre of land with sweeping views of the San Jacinto Mountains, the sprawling post-and-beam home offers five bedrooms and six baths in roughly 4,400 square feet across a U-shaped single-level floor plan. Highlights include a wood-beamed living room sporting the original freestanding fireplace, plus pivoting glass doors spilling out to a terrace. An adjacent dining area connects to a kitchen outfitted with sleek white cabinetry, a central island, stainless appliances, a breakfast nook, and access to a barbecue area.

      The updated kitchen opens to a patio sporting a built-in barbecue.

      Beyond a family room, the sequestered primary suite comes with a walk-in closet and a bath flaunting dual vanities and a large glass-encased shower for two. Like most spaces in the attractive abode, the bedrooms spill out to the park-like grounds, which are showcased by a 55-foot-by-21-foot pool surrounded by a grassy lawn and sundeck, along with a separate spa and a marble fire pit.

      In the 1950s and ’60s, Deepwell Estates, one of Palm Springs’ oldest neighborhoods, counted an impressive roster of Hollywood residents, such as Eva Gabor, Loretta Young, Elizabeth Taylor, Jerry Lewis, and Carmen Miranda.

      The Beverly Hills Estate Where Twitch Star Kai Cenat Hosts His Livestream Lists for $195 Million

      by

      A famously over-the-top estate in Beverly Hills is back. Palazzo di Amore, a 25-acre spread above Coldwater Canyon owned by billionaire investor Jeff Greene, just hit the market once again, this time for a cool $195 million. Yes, that Palazzo di Amore, the same opulent megamansion where Twitch superstar Kai Cenat has been livestreaming with a revolving door of A-list guests since September.

      The estate has been on and off the market for more than a decade, and every few seasons, it reappears like a Hollywood reboot, with the same star power but a slightly different story. The current price tag makes it one of the most expensive homes for sale in the country.

      Greene, who now spends most of his time in Palm Beach, first listed the property back in 2014 for the same $195 million figure. At the time, it was the priciest home in the U.S. Despite an avalanche of publicity, it did not entice a buyer at that high price and was relisted in 2017 for a substantially discounted $129 million. It also did not sell at the lower price and later became one of L.A.’s most exclusive rentals, reportedly fetching $425,000 a year; Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is among those who’ve leased the fabled estate.

      The ballroom features gilt trimwork, inlaid parquet floors, and a massive bowl-shaped chandelier.

      And what do you get for the elephantine asking price? For starters, you get more space than most would know what to do with. Along with its 25 acres of land, the main residence clocks in at around 53,000 square feet. A vast entertainment complex adds another 15,000 square feet. Highlights include a vast ballroom with a stage, a 50-seat movie theater, a bowling alley, a Turkish-style spa, and a private disco with a rotating dance floor. A vineyard that produces its own Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese under the Beverly Hills Vineyards label is in addition to the swimming pool, reflecting pools, manicured gardens, and tennis court.

      Greene bought the property in 2007 after reading about it in the L.A. Times. Originally commissioned by Saudi royalty, the residence and its grounds were incomplete. “There were no bedrooms, no pool, no driveways,” he told The New York Post. “It was just dirt roads and a shell of a house. We went in and finished it… It was a gargantuan project that we spent years and years building.” He poured an additional $25 million into completing it.

      Among its many sumptuous perks is the lavishly embellished Turkish-style spa.

      And then came the Kai Cenat era. The 23-year-old Twitch streamer moved in for a monthlong broadcast, inviting Mariah Carey, Ed Sheeran, Kim Kardashian, and LeBron James to hang out and break the internet. All that online attention seems to have inspired Greene’s latest relisting.

      Erwin Nicholas of Mr. Real Estate, who’s co-listing the home with Patrick Michaels of LA Estate Brokerage, says Cenat’s livestreams gave the property a fresh kind of visibility. The Gen Z entertainer has a history of turning listings into viral events—he even streamed from Tony Parker’s former Texas mansion in collaboration with Nicholas to help market it. “People haven’t understood how powerful live-streaming is as a marketing tool,” he told the publication. “Everyone has definitely doubted it. It’s supposed to be so exclusive. But if it’s on the MLS, if it’s public, let’s be really public.” 

      Of course, even with all that buzz, a home of this magnitude and style only appeals to a tiny pool of potential buyers. Only in L.A., folks, only in L.A.

      Jerry Bruckheimer’s Former Home in the Hollywood Hills Can Now Be Yours for $10 Million

      by

      A Los Angeles residence that was once home to Jerry Bruckheimer has popped up for sale in the Hollywood Hills. Dubbed the Ajioka House after its original owner, Dr. Richard Ajioka, the 1960s digs designed by noted architects Conrad Buff and Donald Hensman are now on the market for a dash under $10 million. Weston Littlefield and Alex Howe of the Aaron Kirman Group at Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California share the listing.

      Occupied by the mega-producer of blockbuster hits from Top Gun to the Pirates of the Caribbean until the mid-1980s, when he sold it for $510,000, the chalet-like spread went on to transfer in 2008 for $2.5 million to menswear designer and tech entrepreneur Derek Mattison. He undertook a major restoration and remodel in collaboration with the L.A.–based design studio Commune that later garnered a Cooper Hewitt National Design Award. It was last sold to Nichols Canyon LLC in 2020 for $6.75 million.

      Hidden behind a high wall and secured gates in the Nichols Canyon area, the hillside property includes a main home and several detached structures spread across nearly an acre of land laced with pepper trees, garden pathways, and a couple of custom ceramic water installations by artist Stan Bitters. A combined total of four bedrooms and five baths are spread across 4,200 square feet, all of it dressed inside and out with rustic reclaimed oak.

      Spanning two stories, the primary dwelling is introduced via a soaring entry foyer displaying large windows and a massive matchstick chandelier. Exposed-beam ceilings, polished concrete floors, and vast expanses of glass run throughout the post-and-beam pad, which is highlighted by a double-height living room anchored by an eye-catching brick and mirror-paneled fireplace.

       The backyard holds a pool, bar and barbecue setup, and fire pit conversation area.

      A separate den/media room is topped with a meditation deck, while a Boffi kitchen is outfitted with a 24-foot stainless and walnut island, Miele appliances, and access to a terrace. A floating staircase leads to an upstairs primary suite, which sports a sky-lit nook with integrated seating, a walk-in closet, and a snazzily tiled bath with dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower.

      Elsewhere is a one-bedroom, one-bath guest suite, plus a design studio/office and a wellness room with a sauna and Himalayan salt wall. Topping it all off are the lushly landscaped grounds, which are showcased by a pool and a spillover spa alongside a sundeck, a barbecue and bar setup, and a fire pit conversation area. A garage and an accompanying motor court can also accommodate up to eight vehicles.

      Luka Doncic Bought Maria Sharapova’s $25 Million Manhattan Beach Home

      by

      Maria Sharapova’s serene Manhattan Beach retreat has found a new owner in one of the NBA’s brightest stars. Luka Dončić has snapped up the five-time Grand Slam champion’s custom-built contemporary residence in an off-market deal valued at $25 million—setting a new record as the priciest home sale in the coastal city’s history.

      Sharapova, who originally acquired the lot in 2012 for $4.1 million, tapped KAA Design to create the 8,600-square-foot showpiece, dubbed the Sanctuary, blending Japanese and Scandinavian influences with breezy California modernism. Think concrete walls, black metal framing around the windows, and expansive walls of glass that dissolve the barrier between indoors and outside. (The L.A.-based firm is also behind Drake’s Beverly Hills estate, one of three trophy estates in the Canadian rapper’s $97 million real estate portfolio.)

      Completed in 2015, the five-bedroom, eight-bath abode sits on about a quarter-acre in the coveted Hill Section of Manhattan Beach, and it comes loaded with lifestyle amenities, from a two-lane bowling alley in the basement to a resort-style swimming pool, multiple balconies, and an outdoor lounge and dining pavilion perfect for hosting A-list friends.

      The sale closed in late August, according to public records, with a trust tied to Dončić’s business manager, Lara Beth Seager, listed as the buyer. Carolwood Estates’ Susân Perryman reportedly held the listing, though the property never hit the open market.

      At $25 million, Dončić’s purchase narrowly tops last year’s $24.5 million trade of an oceanfront home on The Strand, pushing his new home into record-breaking territory. Properties along The Strand have historically dominated price records in Manhattan Beach, but Dončić’s acquisition proves the Hill Section can now command top dollar.

      Amenities include a resort-style pool, a bowling alley, and an outdoor lounge and dining pavilion.

      For Sharapova, who shares a young son with fiancé Alexander Gilkes, the sale marks the end of her decade-long connection to the property as the couple shifts their time increasingly to Europe. Still, just last year the 38-year-old retired tennis star scooped up an $11.5 million estate in Montecito, right next door to Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. The rustic yet refined five-bedroom residence, formerly owned by Chicago philanthropist Ann Lurie, was designed by Lockwood de Forest Jr. in 1949. She also maintains a $9 million ranch property in nearby Summerland.

      Dončić, meanwhile, is planting new roots in Los Angeles. After being traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Lakers earlier this year, former sharpshooter Chandler Parsons allegedly claimed Dončić had just closed on a $15 million home in the Big D—an awkwardly timed deal given the superstar’s imminent move west. Now, with a fresh three-year, $165 million extension and a record-setting $25 million Manhattan Beach estate in his portfolio, it seems clear the 26-year-old intends to make L.A. home both on and off the court.
