Music icon Madonna has purchased a 13,391-square-foot mansion in Hidden Hills from Grammy-winning singer, The Weeknd.

The Hidden Hills home was built in 2017 and purchased that same year by The Weeknd for $20 million. The singer recently put the home on the market for $21.995 million, which was then purchased by Madonna for $19.3 million.

Sitting on three acres of land, the modern farmhouse-style property includes the main home and a guest home. The main home features seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. A laundry list of impressive amenities are also included, such as a bridge entrance, a chef’s kitchen, a refrigerated wine cellar, a home theater, a music lounge, a study, a gym, an outdoor kitchen, and an eight-stall barn. The 1,200 square foot guesthouse features two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The outdoor amenities include an infinity pool, a spa, a fire pit, and a cabana complete with an outdoor living room.

This new purchase will be a change of scenery for Madonna who has spent much of her time in the Moorish Revival mansion near Lisbon, Portugal which she purchased back in 2017.

The listing was held by Angel Salvador at the Agency. Trevor Wright at the Beverly Hills Estates represented the buyer.
