Hidden Hills has become one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in LA, and celebrities love to own their private properties in the area that offers seclusion and magnificent views of nature. With Kardashians and Drake, who own homes in the area, The Weeknd also purchased a home in 2017 for $18.2 million. After living at the property for over two years, he decided to move from home and put it on sale. Madonna snagged the property, which has become her primary residence in Los Angeles again.
From exclusive driveway and open concept entrance to luxurious bedrooms and a myriad of amenities, The Hidden Hills home is the perfect escape from the city to host family and friends or wind down after a long day. Let’s look inside the marvelous Hidden Hills property that now belongs to Madonna.
A Mansion For Rockstars
The Weeknd first purchased the property in 2017 for $18.2 million, a few days after his then-girlfriend Selena Gomez purchased a ranch for $2.5 million in Studio City, around the same area. As he had plans to purchase a Bel Air mansion, he put the Hidden Hills home on sale for $24.9 million in the summer of 2020. During the pandemic, Madonna lived in a Beverly Hills rented compound, and she decided to purchase the home after the price dropped to $19 million. According to Insider, The Weeknd was represented by The Agency’s Angel Salvador, and Beverly Hills Estate’s Trevor Wright represented Madonna to complete the deal.
While Madonna had been an LA property owner several times, she decided to return to the City Of Lights with a gorgeous mansion. As the home was built in 2017, The Weeknd was the first occupant, making Madonna only the second person to own it. The enclave is located on a three-acre property of lush greenery on an exclusive road. The home is packed with security and a long, gated driveway that leads towards the main house with space for outdoor parking by the entrance of the two-level home, as noted by Robb Report.
A Cozy Home Built With Care
Spread across 8,000 sq. ft., the Hidden Hills mansion has a light-filled entrance in the open concept interior. While Madonna will have full reins to change the outlook, the Weeknd had a Scandinavian style interior featuring white walls and large windows for ample lighting. A sleek black piano is located underneath the staircase to add a touch of music.
The white and cream color scheme is uniform throughout the house, including the living room, formal dining room, at-home theatre, and gym. The dining room and the living room are equipped with marble fireplaces. As mentioned by NY Post, the spacious home has a chef’s kitchen equipped with two marble islands and professional stainless appliances for an enjoyable cooking experience.
The nine bedrooms and nine-and-a-half bathrooms are designed in a similar color tone. The Master Bedroom is grand, with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that drench the room in sunlight. The spacious bathroom features a marble bathtub overlooking the barn and two vanity tables. The balcony offers a magnificent view of the back of the home. The only room with a contrasting interior is the Home Office with a brown interior, matching fireplace, and a small mahogany desk.
Exciting Amenities
Featuring a list of amenities, the home has a small at-home theatre with a cream sectional couch for a cozy viewing experience and a gym equipped with essential fitness equipment. Along with a private elevator, it also has a climate-controlled LED wine cellar to ensure the bottles are at optimum temperature at all times, as stated by Forbes.
The spacious outdoors of the Hidden Hills mansion makes the home complete. The infinity-edge swimming pool also has a Baja shelf that improves the outlook of the area. Adjacent to the main living space is a pool house with a full kitchen with a barbecue and an outdoor fireplace with multiple sun loungers for sunbathing. One of the most exciting features of the home is a barn equipped with eight stalls to house barn animals. As The Weeknd didn’t have any, he used the space to keep his ping pong table and lounge décor. A custom feature of the home is a five-car garage specifically built for the singer. It was lined with color-changing LED lights that elevated the style.
A perfect home for living solo or with a family, the Hidden Hills mansion is well worth the price. The home is designed to perfection for an unforgettable living experience. While The Weeknd customized the home, Madonna will soon add her personal touch to suit her style.
