“Who Says” you can’t own an L.A. property where two world-famous musicians have lived? Of course you can, but that opportunity doesn’t pop up often. Buyers with a stack of cash to spend may think they’re “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” at this new Encino listing since it was custom-built for Tom Petty in the 1980s, and is now currently owned by popstar and Rare Beauty mogul Selena Gomez.
According to Mansion Global, Gomez purchased the gated L.A. mansion for $4.9 million in 2020 but has since had many life changes. Newly married to award-winning record producer Benny Blanco, the A-list singer recently moved into a Beverly Hills estate they purchased together for roughly $35 million, making this 11,500-square-foot abode redundant for the couple. Perhaps another music icon will scoop it up now that it’s available for $6.495 million.
Set amidst tall trees on a lush acre, it’s easy to see how this house could become a creative refuge for recharging, working on one’s craft, or kicking back with VIP friends (Gomez’s known bestie is Taylor Swift). Following a renovation, it boasts a bright and charming feel throughout its enjoyably quirky layout. Unexpected rooms await to inspire, such as the sunny staircase landing and skylight-topped living room radiating romance and ideas for story-telling. The primary suite is another unique space. Its soaring high ceilings with wood detailing, stairs leading to an expansive ensuite, and terrace with leafy views give it a fairytale, treehouse-like energy.
All the home’s flashiest extras lurk on the lowest level, including a wine cellar, gym, massage room, additional kitchen, vocal booth, and glam room. After red carpet events or concerts, there’s surely no better way to unwind than in the resort-like backyard. Poised for wellness or lively hosting, it serves up a cabana with a bar, a fire pit, patios, and a serene waterfall and stream feeding into the pool and spa.
Branden and Rayni Williams of The Beverly Hills Estates hold the celebrity listing.
