Drake's amazing new pad, which measures up at 7,444 square feet
and sits on three acres in the uber-exclusive area of Hidden Hills, cost
him $7.7 mil to be exact. And, it has everything one would expect from
such a price tag...including seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a home
theater, tennis and volleyball courts, a stable and equestrian ring, and
a Hefner-worthy pool complete with a huge waterfall, grotto and wet
bars. Heck, it even has its own mechanical bull (the property was
formerly owned by the founder of the Saddle Ranch Chop House restaurant
chain, which features a bull at each location). As you can see from
these beautiful MLS listing photos, It's a pretty impressive estate for a
25-year-old guy to call home. But hey--YOLO, right? Drake actually
seems to have landed a reasonable deal on the place: It originally hit
the market in 2009 for the whopping asking price of $27 million, a sum
that Los Angeles real estate blog Curbedcalled "absolutely ludicrous."
It fell to $9.95 million later that year, and after a few more price
chops, Drake made his move. Current listings in Hidden Hills aren't
cheap no matter how one slices it--they range from a low of $1.2 million
all the way up to nearly $13 millon. Celebs who have bought, sold, or
leased in the area include Britney Spears, John Mayer, Melissa
Etheridge, Lisa Marie Presley, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, and the
Kardashian-Jenner clan. So, Drake is really just your basic average
homeowner in this particular neighborhood. In addition to hearing
Drake's hits on the radio, countless kids and their parents likely heard
him over the weekend as the voice of Ethan the Wooly Mammoth in Ice Age
4: Continental Drift, which opened in theaters Friday.
