It occurred rapidly. Drake has not even completed renovating the opulent mansion he purchased at a premium in the hills above Beverly Hills. The resort-style paradise of the “Hold On, We’re Going Home” rapper is presently on the market for $88 mιllιon. The listing was initially reported by TMZ.
The renowned architects at KAA Design Group developed the nearly 25,000 square foot home for GUESS co-founder Armand Marciano over the course of several years beginning in the late 1990s. The Tuscan-style house was bought by English musician Robbie Williams in 2015 for $33 mιllιon. Williams renovated the furnishings and swapped out the Mediterranean-themed, Old World-inspired ones for more contemporary ones.
Drake purchased the immense complex from Williams and his wife Ayda Field for a staggering $75 mιllιon last spring. It is unknown what changes the rapper has made since then, but a swanky real estate listing website reveals that the mansion appears largely the same as it did when Williams owned it and Field frequently posted photos of it on Instagram.
The property is reached by gates and a very long driveway, and it is situated at the end of a little-known cul-de-sac in a lonely area high in the hills above Benedict Canyon. Numerous old oak trees and well-developed olive trees frame the stunning views of the canyon, city, and ocean. On the property, there is an 11-car garage as well as a huge motorcourt with lots of room for additional parking.
The recently staged neutral spaces lean toward the calmingly minimalist end of the design spectrum. The residence has a double-height foyer with a grand staircase, a living room with two massive fireplaces, a wine cellar, a gym, an elevator, a kitchen with two islands, and an upstairs master retreat with a private view balcony and a salon-style bathroom larger than several homes. Obviously, there is a staff wing and a distinct guesthouse.
Everything, from the several marble finishes to the distinctive woodwork, is clearly bespoke and likely cost a fortune to install. According to the advertisement, the home features one of the largest grassy areas in the 90210, a full-size tennis court, an outdoor kitchen, and a “hidden” orchard, but the enormous grounds and views steal the real estate show. A almost 20-acre parcel of land, the majority of which is a rugged hillside, is where the compound is situated.
