The Mediterranean-inspired Malibu property made quite an impression when it debuted on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2013 because to its opulently furnished interiors. The glass-front produce fridge, which has its own social media profiles, particularly captured the hearts of viewers. Yolanda Hadid, who owned it at the time, has since moved on to other residences, first to a penthouse in Los Angeles and later to a farm in Pennsylvania. Her now-famous TV appearances have now come up for sale, seeking just under $35 million.
The home was purchased in 2007 for $4.5 million by the model-turned-TV personality, who is also the mother of models Gigi, Bella, and Anwar Hadid. Working with an estimated crew of 100 workers, she then began the massive reconstruction of every square inch of the home that she would later share with her former Grammy-winning composer husband David Foster. Eight years later, in 2015, Hadid sold the six-bedroom, eleven-bathroom estate for $19.5 million to Robert F. Smith, the founder of Vista Equity Partners, and his model wife Hope. In 2019, Kylie Jenner, a reality TV star and beauty mogul, leased the property from them for $450,000 a month.
Personal touches added to the residence during Hadid’s tenure include resort-style grounds spotlighted by an infinity-edge pool, a fire pit, an al fresco dining area, and a hillside lemon orchard. There’s a kitchen featuring an eat-in island, top-tier stainless appliances, a breakfast room, and that ever-popular fruit and vegetable refrigerator (aka a “frantry”), plus a formal dining area that sits across from a glam living room.
Resting on a 3.2-acre bluff-top parcel across Pacific Coast Highway from the ocean, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure is described in the listing held by Daniel Milstein and Aaron Kirman of AKG | Christie’s International Real Estate as the spot “where Mediterranean charm meets Southern California perfection.” Featured is nearly 11,700 square feet of living space on three levels punctuated by soaring ceilings, dark hardwood floors, and walls of glass overlooking sweeping views of the Pacific and Santa Monica Mountains.
Some of the other standout features include a cozy family room that opens to a covered terrace warmed by a fireplace, as well as a wood-paneled study, a plush movie theater, and a wet bar-equipped game room. There’s also a tricked-out primary suite, which boasts a fireplace, a private balcony, a shelf-lined office nook tucked off to the side, and dual designer showroom closets and luxe baths.
Relaxation is the name of the lower level’s game. Down there, you’ll find a double wine cellar with room for about 2,000 bottles and a spa oasis replete with a full mirrored gym, massage and cold-plunge rooms, and steam and sauna facilities. The amenities continue outdoors, with an attached four-car garage and a gated motorcourt that has additional parking space for at least 20 vehicles.
The Dutch-born 60-year-old appeared on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for four seasons, from 2012 to 2016. She reportedly left the show to focus on her recovery from Lyme disease and was divorced from Foster in 2015. Today, Hadid reportedly lives a peaceful life on her Pennsylvania farm.
