Kanye West’s Former Hidden Hills Home Is Razed To Make Way for $17 Million Equestrian Estate Inspired by Chumash People

A Los Angeles property that was once owned by Kanye West has been left unrecognizable after the existing dwelling was demolished—and replaced with a new megamansion that is now on the market for a staggering $17 million.

The six-bedroom home, which is located in the Hidden Hills neighborhood—where West’s former spouse, Kim Kardashian, still owns a mansion—is described in its listing as an “architectural reverie” that draws “respectful inspiration from the Chumash people,” a Native American tribe that once occupied the land.

It stands in stark contrast to the somewhat run-down property that previously occupied the 1-acre plot, which was sold by West, 48, for $4.3 million in 2023, just a few months after he married his second wife, Bianca Censori.

“The residence is a spiritual and architectural homage to [the Chumash people’s] cosmology—three interconnected worlds: the sky, the earth, and the underworld,” the listing notes. “Unlike Western belief systems, the Chumash held that humans could, with great effort, traverse these realms.”

Designed by “visionary” architect Jae Omar, the dwelling, which is now known as Three Planes, boasts 11,500 square feet of living space and unique design details that pay homage to the Chumash people, as well as the surrounding California area.

Upon entry into the opulent abode, visitors are greeted with “a tactile blend of Shou Sugi Ban siding, Santa Barbara stone cladding, and hand-applied plaster.” Meanwhile, the interiors feature a mix of rich woods, textured stone, and earth-toned plaster finishes.

“Wall niches throughout the home cradle a curated collection of antique pottery, a silent tribute to the Chumash’s artistic legacy and spiritual depth,” the description goes on.

The heart of the home is the elegant kitchen that was “finished with the highest degree of materials and appliances” and features a breakfast nook and walk-in pantry. The formal dining room and living room offer ample space for relaxation and entertainment.

Perhaps the most sanctuary-like space in the dwelling is the primary suite, which is hailed as a “retreat unto itself,” complete with a luxe bath, steam shower, and sauna. The in-home “wellness suite” provides the perfect place to work out or meditate.

The outside space is immaculately designed and offers a resort-style pool and spa, a fire pit, a kitchen, and a yoga deck.

“Each element [was] placed with intention, inviting residents to engage with the natural world,” the listing notes. “Rounding out the property is a detached horse stable that stands as both a functional amenity and a nod to the region’s equestrian soul.

“Throughout Three Planes, every material, every detail, and every spatial gesture is imbued with meaning.

“From the vertical fireplace wall that draws the eye skyward, to the encapsulated wine room that evokes the underworld, the home is a living myth—an architectural journey through the Chumash belief in transformation, transcendence, and connection.”

In a statement shared with Realtor.com®, Omar explained that the home is meant to be a living embodiment of what he sees as a significant shift in the Hidden Hills housing market—where he believes homebuyers are seeking something more meaningful than an aesthetically pleasing property.

“Hidden Hills is evolving. There’s a hunger here for homes that are not just luxurious, but meaningful, spaces that reflect a deeper connection to nature, art, and self,” he said.

“This community has always been about privacy and prestige. Now, it’s also becoming a canvas for architectural storytelling.”

To that end, Omar turned to the teachings of the Chumash people for inspiration for the design of the home.

“The Chumash cosmology speaks of three realms: the sky, the earth, and the underworld. I wanted to create a space where you could feel all three at once, and move between them with intention,” Omar explained.

“Every material, every line, every shadow was chosen to honor the Chumash belief in transformation and transcendence.”

The thoughtful design is a far cry from the three-bedroom, two-bathroom property that once occupied the space—having been built in 1955 and offering just 3,200 square feet.

That single-story home was snapped up by West for $4.5 million in 2021, the same year that Kardashian filed for divorce after seven years of marriage.

According to reports, the rapper purchased the home to be closer to his four children, who were living with their mother in her Hidden Hills abode, which she once shared with West.

However, less than two years later, the rapper sold the home at a $250,000 loss.

In the time since, West has bought and sold numerous dwellings across the U.S., including his infamous Malibu beach house, for which he paid $57.3 million.

The father of four then proceeded to gut the Tadao Ando-designed abode, with reports suggesting that he planned to transform the dwelling into a modernist bunker.

However, he abandoned those plans soon after, leaving the beachfront home as nothing more than a concrete shell—eventually selling it at a significant loss to developer Bo Belmont for just $21 million.
