In April of 2018, Leonardo DiCaprio of “Titanic,” “Wolf of Wall Street,” and “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” added a newly purchased property to his already impressive real estate portfolio. The Hollywood A-lister acquired a lavish Los Feliz residence on Red Oak Drive from musician Moby through a trust. The sale was closed at $4.91 million, and the estate titled Red Oak Manor reportedly served as home to a member of DiCaprio’s family. Now, the Oscar-winning actor is bidding farewell to the marvelous manor listing it at $5.75 million.

As his primary residence, it is reported that DiCaprio calls Malibu his home. First purchasing a house there in 1998, he paid $23 million for a more expansive 1.8-acre spread in 2016. Other notable properties he’s acquired consist of Madonna’s former home he purchased in the 1990s, a mid-century modern space in Palm Springs, a chic New York City apartment, a compound property on the Sunset Strip, and an island in Belize. Although the star boasts several impressive estates, he is equally generous with his property assets. Earlier this year, DiCaprio’s purchased a Los Feliz home from “Modern Family” star Jesse Tyler Ferguson for $7.1 million and gifted it to his mother. Additionally, he also paid $4.9 million for another Los Feliz home to gift his father.

Built in 1926, Red Oak Manor spans 4,644 square feet and features five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Located near the foothills of Griffith Park and beyond the gates of Los Feliz Oaks and its forested setting, the old-fashioned English style property has since been “restored and totally reimagined” by Moby. With its traditional custom millwork, groin-vault ceilings, and elaborate fireplaces, the contemporary makeover presents a new kitchen with marble countertops and walk-in pantry, formal dining, lofted study, gym, steam room, and a security system. The spacious common areas offer hardwood floors, high ceilings, and stately paned windows for a clean, neutral aesthetic with plentiful lighting.

On the upper level of the two-story home, the two primary suites offer theatrical drama with their marble bathrooms yet still evoke a comfortable feel. The guest suite has its own secret entrance with access to a full bath and steam room. Outside, the expansive exterior descends to a leafy space with a swimming pool, spa, patio, and al fresco dining area.

On May 27, Kourtney Kardashian purchased a newly constructed modern home beyond the gates of the upscale La Quinta neighborhood. The picturesque property includes six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star offered a sneak peak of her newly purchased home on Instagram with exterior shots of the pool, golf course, and palm trees accompanied with the caption “happy weekend.” Kourtney allegedly spent her Memorial Day weekend at the newfound residence with her three children as well as Travis Barker, drummer of Blink-182. Reportedly, the celebrity duo have been romantically involved since January after several years of friendship.

Spanning over 9,000 square feet and nearly an acre of lush land, Kourtney's Palm Springs property comes fully furnished and offers a perfect summertime oasis. The home is accessed through a quaint courtyard with seating area, custom water features, and fire display. Leading into the great room, the large glass doors offer panoramic views of the nearby Santa Rosa Mountains. The state-of-the-art chef's kitchen is equipped with an expansive marble island, granite slab counters, and butler’s pantry. The open floor plan offers a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces. Stepping outside, the exterior presents an infinity edge pool, spa, grilling and barbeque area, and 15 tee golf course. Other perks of the lavish home include an attached guesthouse, custom bar, and wine room.

But for his family camp, the legendary entertainer bequeathed one of Palm Springs' most famous residences: a 23,366-square-foot architectural wonder that recently listed for nearly $25 million—$9 million less than the figure printed on its price tag last November.

The Bob and Dolores Hope home is 23,366-square feet and sits on six acres.

Bob Hope's estate is constructed of concrete, steel, and glass. The massive copper roof is the home's signature design element.

The new list price is shocking considering the estate’s zip code, size (23,366-square feet), and provenance—in addition to the fact that Bob Hope’s family quietly shopped the estate for $50 million in March 2013, before settling on $34 million when it listed in January 2014. Whether or not the estate was overpriced, it appears the Hope family is finally committed to closing this cherished chapter of their lives. Patrick Stewart Properties has the listing.

Known as the Bob and Dolores Hope estate, the dramatic 10-bedroom, 13-bathroom property is unlike any other home in the world. Constructed of massive amounts of concrete, steel, and glass, the home boasts a distinct undulating copper roof that—depending on the angle—resembles a giant mushroom, a nun's cap, a dormant volcano...or a flying saucer preparing for takeoff. The couple used this "dream home" as a second residence, primarily for entertaining.

The 10-bedroom, 13-bathroom property is listed for nearly $25 million.

The outdoor courtyard can accommodate 300 guests under a gigantic eye in the sky.

The home was built in 1980 by John Lautner, a modernist architect famous for space-age designs (particularly the Chemosphere octagon-shaped house in the Hollywood Hills) that are still featured in popular movies, on TV, and even in video games. Although the home was constructed by a modernist, today’s contemporary design is usually more subtle than Lautner’s eccentric style. Space-age flair in 1980 looks dated compared to its present-day definition (for proof, check out the Star Wars sequels).

One could speculate that Lautner’s over-the-top designs are iconic and influential, but require a specific modern sensibility, especially in today’s recovering market—which might explain the price chop almost by half. Of course, none of this diminishes Lautner's groundbreaking masterpiece. Ironically, for the location and square footage, the estate may now be a relative bargain for the right buyer.

The huge residence features soaring ceilings, great views and an abundance of light.

The home's price has been slashed by 50% in the past year and a half, indicating the Hope family's determination to sell.

2466 Southridge Drive overlooks the Coachella Valley with views of the Banning Pass and Mount San Jacinto.

Overlooking the entire Coachella Valley, the conspicuous California property—located at 2466 Southridge Drive—is wide open and meticulously landscaped on more than 6.2 acres of land. The two-story, gated community home features three pools (private, indoor and exercise), hot tub, pond, a rock formation with waterfall (built into the home's façade), four fireplaces, soaring ceilings, an elevator, terraces, a guesthouse, and a majestic circular oculus (or sky roof) that is extraordinary. The estate is ideal for entertaining via a huge outdoor courtyard that accommodates 300 people, a bar, tennis court, and of course, a putting green.

Hope, who passed away at 100 years old in 2003, was an avid golfer who often performed holding a golf club. He was a tireless and consummate entertainer of the general public via radio, television and movies; the military, through his 50-year association with the United Service Organization (USO) shows and overseas tours; and family, friends, soldiers and dignitaries at this iconic desert home.
