Kim Kardashian Is Not Selling Longtime Hidden Hills Home Despite Her Telling Sister Khloé ‘I’m Moving’: Source

Kim Kardashian is not looking to move out of her Hidden Hills mansion.

In an Instagram Story on Monday, July 29, the 43-year-old was heard telling her sister Khloé that she was “moving” and only had a dress or workout attire to wear at the time.

However, a source exclusively tells PEOPLE that the SKIMS founder is not selling her home but is temporarily out of it while an extra room is being added. The source confirms the room is not the underground vault.

In the fall of 2021, Kardashian’s neighbors were denied the request to prevent her from constructing the underground vault, subterranean parking, an attached subterranean “wellness center” and a detached guardhouse, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE.

In June, Kardashian exclusively told PEOPLE that she “can’t ever imagine moving” out of her Hidden Hills home.

“The best memories I have growing up are in our family home, and I always want to create those memories and safe space for my kids,” Kardashian explained. “We’ve created such beautiful memories here already.”

Kardashian and her ex-husband Kanye West purchased the headline-grabbing property for a reported $20 million in 2014. West, 47, and Belgian architect Axel Vervoordt then undertook a top-to-bottom renovation of the property that would take three years to complete and completely alter its design into a stark, almost church-like structure.

The family finally moved into the property in December 2017 and Kris Jenner tweeted in 2018 that the house was now worth $60 million.

The former couple sold their previous house, a Bel Air mansion they renovated for several years but never moved into, for $18 million in 2017.

Kardashian and West kept the inside of the Hidden Hills home private for some time, but West tweeted out photos of the interior in 2018.

The home’s aesthetic is meant to evoke a “futuristic Belgian monastery,” West told Architectural Digest in a March 2020 cover story, with a nearly all-white palette, plaster walls, minimal furnishings and soaring arched ceilings.

Despite its seemingly impersonal scale, the pair told AD that it was intentionally designed for their four kids — North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5.

“The kids ride their scooters down the hallways and jump around on top of the low Axel tables, which they use as a kind of stage,” West said. “This house may be a case study, but our vision for it was built around our family.”

Kardashian filed for divorce from West in February 2021. After the split, she remained in the home with the children.

In her June interview, Kardashian told PEOPLE that her home is her “sanctuary.”

“When designing it, I wanted to create a calming place to come home to after a busy day of work,” she said. “The minimalist design keeps things clean and uncluttered, which allows me to truly decompress and get away from the chaos.”

“It’s like hitting the pause button,” she added. “When everything is so zen, I can really recharge and let my creativity flow.”
