It’s quite common to come across celebrity-owned residences in Calabasas, yet this opulent home has been inhabited not by just one, but by two superstars: Selena Gomez and rapper French Montana.
Presently listed by Gabriel Palmrot from Douglas Elliman, acting on behalf of the current owner Montana (whose real name is Karim Kharbouch), this Mediterranean-style mansion is seeking $6.6M.
The 35-year-old rapper of the hit “Unforgettable” acquired the property from Gomez, who was 27 at the time, back in 2016 for $3.M—more than a million dollars below her original asking price of $4.5M.
Situated in the popular celebrity-favored neighborhood of Calabasas, California, and in proximity to his former partner Khloe Kardashian and her family, this 7,786-square-foot estate is nestled on slightly over three acres of secluded land.
The main residence, tailored to perfection, showcases five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and five fireplaces. To the rear of the property, a guest house has been transformed into a recording studio by Montana.
Within the main house, there are standout features such as a gym, a movie theater, and a wine cellar. The chef’s kitchen, complete with a cozy eating area, alongside the formal dining room, adds to the grandeur. The expansive master suite boasts a steam shower, a soaking tub, a walk-in closet, and a comfortable seating area.
Outside, the backyard presents an entertainer’s paradise, complete with a pool, a spa, a cabana, a courtyard, an outdoor kitchen with a brick pizza oven, and ample space for alfresco dining. A centerpiece of an elephant topiary commands attention in the midst of this alluring setup!
Reportedly, Montana has invested significantly in upgrading the property since his acquisition from the “Lose You to Love Me” songstress. Apart from converting a part of the house into a new recording studio—a renovation reported to cost $400,000 according to the Los Angeles Times—he also revitalized the turquoise and purple walls that Gomez had left behind.
