New aerial photos have revealed the vast scale of Will Smith's secluded 150-acre estate in Calabasas, California — a property so expansive, it reportedly has its own ZIP code. Reported by Daily Mail, the sprawling compound includes a 25,000-square-foot adobe-style mansion, custom amenities, and unique architectural features.

Originally commissioned in the late 1990s by Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, the property was inspired by actor Gene Hackman's Santa Fe home. Designed by architect Stephen Samuelson, the estate required hundreds of skilled artisans to complete and was once described by Pinkett Smith as 'a spiritual endeavor.'
The main house includes nine bedrooms, a meditation room, a recording studio, and a full cinema wing complete with a projection booth and separate restrooms. An 'accolades lounge' also offers a space for post-screening discussion. The property's grounds feature a sports complex with basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts, along with a sunken trampoline and even a luxury doghouse for Smith's Rottweilers.
Among the many standout features, one in particular holds special meaning for Smith himself. A Japanese-style lakeside gazebo — accessible by a bridge — was once described by the actor as his favorite place to reflect. An extension of the home also features a curved roof and mysterious 'Cool S' symbols etched into the stucco walls, possibly a personal nod to the Smith family.
Although Smith listed the estate for $42 million in 2014, it was later taken off the market. Aerial images show signs of active family life, including Jaden Smith's 'I Love You Restaurant' vegan food truck, which now sits parked on the property.
Whether as a retreat or a family stronghold, the estate reflects the complexity of Smith's public and private life.
