After many years of residing in sizable homes scattered throughout the greater Los Angeles area, from Beverly Hills to Malibu, Nicki Minaj has finally made a property acquisition. A new property for $19.5 million has been purchased by the Grammy Award-winning rapper, whose legendary “Starships” have reportedly crashed-landed in Hidden Hills, a guard-gated community in the San Fernando Valley.
The property agent stated that the enormous modern farmhouse was sold “before listing on the MLS,” having been built this year by a local developer. It was never able to hit the market as a result.
We are left with no other choice but to rely on tax records, which show that the roughly 12,000-square-foot home contains eight bedrooms, nine complete bathrooms, and two powder rooms.
In the backyard, there is also a separate guesthouse, a cabana by the pool, a saltwater pool with a Jacuzzi, and a Baja shelf for sunbathing. The level, one-acre site has three vehicle garage space, lush lawns, and substantial landscaping for privacy.
The upper master suite has a private balcony that looks out onto the backyard, while the main house itself features pocketing glass doors that lead to numerous patios and terraces.
Minaj enjoys big, sprawling homes. The 40-year-old Trinidian-born singer currently resides with her husband in a hilltop rental estate in Calabasas, in one of the city’s many gated neighborhoods.
Although it appears likely that Minaj, Petty, and their entourage will soon relocate to their new and more opulent Hidden Hills mansion, the 1990s-built Mediterranean-inspired building features marble flooring, six bedrooms, and nine bathrooms in more than 10,000 square feet of living space.
Hidden Hills, formerly a sleepy, Kentucky-style neighborhood full of horse ranches, has recently emerged as a haven for the wealthy and famous looking for residential tranquility, particularly prominent athletes and singers.
The neighborhood is home to several celebrities, including Madonna, Jessica Simpson, Will and Jada Smith, Lori Loughlin, Sylvester Stallone, Ben Simmons, numerous Kardashians, and most of the current squad of the Los Angeles Rams. These days, there are probably more Ferraris and Lamborghinis in the region than horses.
Aaron Kirman and Danielle Nisim of AKG handled the Hidden Hills listing, while Kirman and Matt Adamo of AKG represented the buyer.
