Kanye West's former California home is unrecognizable following a dramatic reconstruction — and will list for $17M

Once the humble neighbor to Kim Kardashian's $60 million estate, a plot formerly owned by Kanye West has undergone a dramatic transformation — from low-slung ranch house to a soulful showpiece. Now dubbed 'Three Planes,' the newly built equestrian estate is hitting the market for $16.99 million, offering more than just square footage — but also a full-on spiritual experience. West purchased the original 3,200-square-foot house in 2021 for $4.5 million, with sources previously telling The Post it was to stay close to his four children. But he never moved in. 19 A photo of the home Kanye West purchased before it was renovated to make way for a new modern estate. 19 A Hidden Hills property last owned by Kanye West has been transformed beyond recognition.

AP Two years later, he sold the property to Calabasas-based developer H2 Development for $4.25 million. They promptly leveled the structure and teamed up with Los Angeles designer Jae Omar to reimagine the space as a luxurious homage to the land's indigenous roots. 19 West sold it at a loss two years later for $4.3 million, and it was completely gutted with a new property built in its place.

Christopher Amitrano / CS8 Photo 19 Inspired by the cosmology of the Chumash people, the indigenous tribe native to the region, the home is conceived as a 'living myth' rooted in their three sacred realms: sky, earth and underworld. Christopher Amitrano / CS8 Photo Omar — known for his work on estates sought after by the likes of Sean McVay, DJ Zedd and Meghan Trainor — drew inspiration from the Chumash people, the Native American tribe that once inhabited this region of Southern California. The result: an 11,000-square-foot estate designed to evoke the tribe's cosmological framework — three interconnected realms of sky, earth and underworld. 'I wanted to create a space where you could feel all three at once, and move between them with intention,' Omar said in a statement. 'Every material, every line, every shadow was chosen to honor the Chumash belief in transformation and transcendence.' Clad in Shou Sugi Ban siding, Santa Barbara stone and hand-applied plaster, the estate's silhouette nods to Hidden Hills' equestrian roots with a modern ranch-style form. 19 The residence blends earthy materials like Shou Sugi Ban siding and Santa Barbara stone with curated Chumash-era pottery and a design ethos that honors spirituality, transformation and natural connection.

Christopher Amitrano / CS8 Photo Inside, it's a masterclass in organic modernism: soaring beamed ceilings, white oak floors, sandstone walls and earth-toned plaster finishes among the eye-catching features. The five-bedroom, 6.5-bath home includes a wellness wing, a yoga deck, a media room and a wine cellar evocatively described as 'the underworld' in listing materials. The heart of the home is a bespoke kitchen outfitted with top-tier appliances and finishes, joined by a breakfast nook and a walk-in pantry. 19 The primary suite.

Four secondary bedrooms upstairs each include their own ensuite bathrooms. Outdoors, the 1-acre-plus property extends the home's immersive vision. A resort-style pool and spa, a firepit, an alfresco kitchen and a yoga deck are joined by a detached horse stable — both a nod to the community's equestrian culture and a rare amenity in new construction. 'This community has always been about privacy and prestige. Now, it's also becoming a canvas for architectural storytelling,' Omar said. 19 A view of the open floor plan.

As for Omar, 'Three Planes' is part of a broader creative push. His latest project, 'Five Fathoms' in the Hollywood Hills, takes inspiration from Ariel's siren song in Shakespeare's 'The Tempest.' But in Hidden Hills, he said, the challenge, and the opportunity, was more grounded. 'My goal is to redefine what it means to live well within the Hidden Hills community,' he told The Post. 'Alongside H2 Development, we're not just constructing speculative homes, we're curating homes that hold a soul, a story, a spirit and reflect the extraordinary community.'
