KimYe Real Estate Flip? Will They or Won’t They?

America’s most-renowned tabloid fixtures, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, may be dealing with a case of buyers’ remorse regarding the large, beautiful French Country-style estate in Southern California for which they dropped $20 million this past summer. Evidence? The home may be back on the market. It just depends who you ask.

The 8,000 square foot estate in Hidden Hills was described in its original listing as a “piece de resistance.” It boasts eight bedrooms, a home theater, a game room with wet bar, and a custom library. That’s all just on the inside. Outside, the home sports a motor court, lush grounds, two barbeque centers, two pools, two spas, a guest house, a vineyard, and a massive entertaining pavilion. Ah, the lifestyles of the rich and famous! The property has old-school Hollywood cred, having formerly belonged to Lisa Marie Presley. It was razed in 2010 by its next owner, a prominent Tinseltown doctor, and the current manse went up in its place.

Kim and Kanye were said to be in love with the place. Kim gushed to People magazine that the pair were prepping their Beverly Hills home (which they bought for a comparatively-modest $9 mil) for sale, since they found an “awesome” new place. In the meantime, the family stayed with Kim’s mom, Kris Jenner, at her fabulous nest in Calabasas. Reports swirled that the Kardashian-Wests were so enamored with the new home that they wanted to name it after the castle in Downton Abbey, a favorite TV show.

Love doesn’t last long in the celebrity world, though, and there are hints that this real estate love affair may not have staying power. Both Zillow and a Berkshire Hathaway listing briefly listed the home for sale, before being taken down. Interesting, the asking price was hardly anything over what the couple paid for the home initially. Strange, right?
