Abel Tesfaye, better known to the world as The Weeknd, has made this home in the manner of a farmhouse his primary abode for the past three years. This house, which can be found to the north of Los Angeles in the celebrity enclave of Hidden Hills, is the ideal destination for a relaxing weekend escape.

Tesfaye, at the age of 30, earned an estimated $92 million in 2017 and paid $18.2 million for this 13,500-square-foot home when it was brand new.

Because of the distinctive orange basketball court that is located on the property, it is simple to locate using Google Earth. The home has an exceptional amount of privacy as a result of its location on three acres of verdant land.
The home’s garage is illuminated in a stunning fashion throughout the night. The neon lighting in the mirror-floored auto gallery can be changed to either purple, blue, or green at the flick of a switch. This was done so that it can accommodate Tesfaye’s ever-growing collection of cars. The autos that are stored within the five-bay garage can be shown in a sophisticated manner thanks to the glass-paneled doors and diffused overhead lighting.
The property features a main house with two stories, a detached guest cottage, a barn with eight stalls, a swimming pool with a cabana, a fitness facility, and a yoga studio, all of which are enclosed by towering redwood trees, manicured lawns, and high hedges for privacy.
A security gate and driveway lead to the concrete and grass parking area in front of the main residence, which is both elegant and unassuming.
It’s worth noting that the exotic cars parked outside the property, including a black Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV, were brought together for the photoshoot and are not The Weeknd’s most recent acquisitions.
Inside the main residence, the interior design is minimalist and reminiscent of Scandinavian aesthetics. White walls, high ceilings, and wide-plank wood floors create an open and airy ambiance. The rooms are spacious, open-concept, and feature large glass pocket doors with black frames, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The chef’s kitchen boasts two granite waterfall islands, a professional-grade range, and a spacious stainless steel refrigerator and freezer. Nearby, a blue neon-lit climate-controlled wine cellar adds a touch of luxury.

The family room features a modern fireplace with a marble surround and opens to a heated, covered patio, perfect for outdoor dining. The first floor also includes a formal dining area, a movie screening room, an opulent office, and a corner bar.
Upstairs, the second floor houses seven bedrooms, including the master suite with its expansive walk-in closet, marble-lined bathroom with a distinctive tub and shower, and a private terrace accessible via an elegant wooden staircase.
Outdoors, overlooking the infinity-edged saltwater pool, the 1,200-square-foot guest cottage with two bedrooms offers generous covered lounging areas.
Tesfaye transformed the eight-stall barn into a recreational space, replacing horses with exercise equipment, comfortable couches, and a ping-pong table.
It remains unknown whether he intends to bring the ping-pong table with him to his new residence on the 18th floor of the boutique Beverly West condominium tower on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, which he acquired in December for $21 million. This 8,200-square-foot, four-bedroom condominium occupies the entire 22nd floor of the tower.
The Weeknd has enlisted agent Angel Salvador of The Agency to sell his Hidden Hills home, which is currently listed for $24.995 million.
