Step into the enchanting $25 million LA mansion of Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd. Nestled in the celebrity enclave of Hidden Hills, just north of Los Angeles, this farmhouse-style residence has been his home for the past three years. The multi-talented artist, who graced the cover of Forbes magazine in 2017 with estimated earnings of $92 million, purchased the 13,500-square-foot home for $18.2 million when it was brand new.
The striking orange basketball court on the property makes it easily recognizable on Google Earth, situated on three acres of lush land with utmost privacy. As night falls, you may catch a glimpse of the mesmerizing illumination emanating from the mansion’s garage.
Designed to house Tesfaye’s ever-evolving car collection, which reportedly includes a 618 hp McLaren P1 hypercar, a Lamborghini Aventador SV roadster, a new Bentley Mulsanne, and a classic 1980s Porsche 911, the mirror-floored auto gallery can switch between purple, blue, and green neon lighting. With glass-paneled doors and ambient ceiling lighting, the five-bay garage provides an ideal setting to admire these automotive masterpieces.
The estate comprises a two-story main house, a detached guest cottage, an eight-stall barn, a swimming pool, a cabana, a fitness center, and a yoga studio. Towering redwood trees, manicured lawns, and tall hedgerows surround the property, ensuring privacy and tranquility. Accessible through a security gate and driveway, the front of the main residence features a concrete and grass parking area, exuding elegance without ostentation.
Inside the main residence, the interior design follows a minimalist and almost Scandinavian aesthetic. Throughout the spacious and airy rooms, you’ll find white walls, tall ceilings, and wide-plank wood floors. Enormous glass pocket doors with black frames blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living.
The chef’s kitchen boasts two granite waterfall islands, a professional-grade range, and a large stainless refrigerator and freezer. Adjacent to it, a blue neon-lit climate-controlled wine cellar adds a touch of sophistication. The family room features a modern fireplace with a marble surround, while doors lead to a heated, covered patio, perfect for al fresco dining. Additionally, the main level includes a formal dining area, a movie screening room, an opulent office, and a corner bar.
On the second floor, you’ll find seven bedrooms, including the master suite. This grand suite boasts an enormous walk-in closet, a marble-lined bathroom with a distinct tub and shower, and a private terrace accessed via an elegant wooden staircase. Outside, overlooking the infinity-edged saltwater pool, the 1,200-square-foot guest cottage with two bedrooms offers expansive covered lounging areas.
Tesfaye made a unique transformation to the eight-stall barn by replacing the horses with exercise equipment, comfortable couches, and a ping-pong table. Whether he plans to bring the table with him to his new residence on the 18th floor of the boutique Beverly West condominium tower remains unknown. He purchased this 8,200-square-foot, four-bedroom condominium for $21 million in December. Occupying the entire 22nd floor, the condo provides a lavish living space.
The Weeknd has enlisted agent Angel Salvador of The Agency to sell his Hidden Hills home, which is currently listed for $24.995 million. With his chart-topping hits like “Wicked Games,” “Can’t Feel My Face,” and “The Hills,” Tesfaye continues to captivate audiences worldwide while making changes to his impressive real estate portfolio.
