I truly cannot and will not keep track of all of the real estate moves made by Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. I remember, years ago, trying to keep track of all of it and it just made me tired. At that point, they bought some kind of money-pit home which they were trying to completely renovate from top to bottom, only Kanye couldn’t decide on anything so Kim, Kanye and North were basically living with Kris Jenner for several years. That was a while ago. For some time, I think Kim and Kanye have been living in a completed mansion which is decorated in all-beige, the same home we saw in Kim’s Vogue video over the summer. Is that the “Hidden Hills mansion”? I don’t know. But they do own several properties in the LA/Calabasas area. And on one of those properties, they plan to expand the whole spread and create some kind of farm? Yeah, doubtful.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s empire is growing, but their latest expansion in Hidden Hills might slow it down … because they’ll never need to leave. Sources close to the couple tell TMZ … they just scooped up a neighboring property of their massive HH estate — which already has an estimated value of $60 million — for another cool $3 mil. We’re told the property was on the market — Kim and Kanye didn’t squeeze anyone out — so they decided to buy it … they now are the owners of 8 acres all in a row.
Of course, they already have HUGE plans for their updated compound. We’re told they plan to transform their combined properties into guest homes, a spa retreat, and essentially … a private farm for the kids. Our sources say the Wests are aiming for an organic garden and citrus grove on their grounds to streamline their own farm-to-table dining. Like we said … no need to leave.
If they do care to venture out, though, have plenty of options. We broke the story … Kanye dropped some serious cash this summer on a Wyoming property called Monster Lake Ranch, which includes 8 lodging units, 2 freshwater lakes, a restaurant, an event center and lots of barns, corrals and horses on 4,500 acres! And, there’s also their Calabasas property near Hidden Hills, where Ye put up some prototype dome housing structures as part of his vision of an egalitarian community … but they were later torn down. Now, he’s got more land to play with.
Would you do a makeshift organic farm in the middle of Los Angeles? No. I would not. With all of the water issues and fire issues, I feel like it would be a big waste of time. You know what wouldn’t be a waste? Turning some of that Wyoming land into a real working farm. Honestly though, I always wonder about rich celebrities doing these kinds of massive property deals where they combine multiple properties and customize everything a bit too much. Like, what’s the re-sell going to look like? Who is in the market (five years from now when Kim and Kanye get bored) for a combined chain of properties with a small organic farm, a spa, etc?
