DRAKE is testing the Beverly Hills waters with his new holiday rental of a seven bedroom, $65million mansion.
The chic residence, nicknamed “Elementi”, sits on a ridge of the posh Trousdale Estates neighborhood.

And the rapper is paying the price, with a monthly rent of an estimated $215,000 for the 18,000 square foot property.
The home underwent a complete rebuild over the past six years, and re-entered the market in April for a price tag of $65million this year, far up from when it was last sold in 2014 for $15million.
The house was marketed as “natural” for its earth tone finishes and inclusion of elements of nature in the design.
The main feature is the moat surrounding the structure, which is fed by a cascading waterfall that snakes through the dining room and fills out into a courtyard pool.
A 150 year old olive tree imported from Italy also grows in the courtyard, which required a crane and crew of 15 people to be planted.
The entrance is equally stunning, with a glass bridge crossing leading into a foyer showcasing “jetliner views”, according to the home’s listing.
Other features include the movie theater, which is entered through a stunning Venetian-plastered spiral staircase.
With seven bedrooms, each guest can have two bathrooms all to their own.
The whole house is accented with marble embellishments, including the main room, which the architects say was inspired by the “rhythmic keys of a piano.”
The included furniture comes from the luxury Italian Minotti brand.
Meanwhile, the main kitchen features Gaggenau appliances, Dada cabinets, and a 14-foot marble island in the middle.
The butler has their own kitchen with a separate entrance, and boasts a 16 burner Viking stove.
The home is not without its own jacuzzi, which sits on a 400 foot outside terrace.
While Drake’s appreciation of pricey homes is well known from his expansive estate in Hidden Hills, sources told Dirt that he is only staying in Elementi temporarily, and is not interested in buying the property.
