This is Britney Spears’ stunning retreat from the outside world.
Situated in one of Hollywood’s most reclusive areas, it’s been described in realtor terms, as “non-conforming.” That means, it’s unique even by celebrity standards, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Inside Britney’s Private Retreat
While under her father Jamie Spears’ conservatorship, the home was bought in October 2015.
The vast grounds include acres of forest for the ultimate A-list seclusion.
The luxury compound is the perfect respite from the incessant media spotlight made worse by ex-husband Kevin Federline’s memoir You Thought You Knew, telling of Britney’s downfall in all its gory detail.
The five-bed, eight-bath elegant Italian-style villa is set in over 20 acres in a highly coveted gated community, White Stallion Estates, which sits in the appropriately named Hidden Valley, where Ellen DeGenres once had a ranch and Tom Selleck still does.
The Grounds Remain In Nearly ‘Perfect Condition’ Despite California Weather
Spears’ retreat is surrounded by acres of forest.
While there’s speculation regarding the 43-year-old’s mental health fuelled by Instagram videos of her late-night provocative dancing and sometimes messy interior, there’s no doubt that the grounds are in almost perfect condition.
There’s bald patches of grass in some areas, but that’s to be expected after a Californian summer. The only imperfection is waterproof tarpaulin covering a small section of the roof, possibly masking damaged tiles and a leak.
The main residence spans over 12,464 square feet with an epic master bedroom with his and her closets and marble bathrooms, balcony and even two lounges.
The Big Purchase Details Revealed
The main residence spans over 12,464 square feet.
If Britney can’t be bothered to walk the stairs to bed, she can take the elevator.
The poolhouse features a 3,800-bottle cellar next to an aqua blue pool, there’s a tennis court and even a three-hole golf course.
But the star is inadvertently paying a fortune for the property.
While under her father Jamie Spears’ conservatorship, it was bought in October 2015 for $7.4 million – in cash.
The purchaser was the “Estate of Britney Jean Spears,” with the two trustees being Jamie and his appointed lawyer Andrew Wallet.
Just 18 months later, Jamie and Wallet took out a $1million mortgage with the Bank of America on behalf of Britney’s estate.
Britney was the ultimate borrower/trustor and responsible for the huge debt, which records show hasn’t been paid off today.
Only a few people would know why that mortgage was taken out, but it’s incredulous to think that Britney would have been broke at the time.
When the home loan was taken out, Britney was two months shy of completing a four-year residency at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.
The purchaser of the stunning home was the ‘Estate of Britney Jean Spears.’
She’d performed Britney: Piece of Me a total of 248 times and the show grossed $137.7 million.
Real estate investor Cory Pinter adds: “A conservator can commit her estate to a mortgage to purchase a property. That’s legal.
“But when the conservator makes financial decisions that either aren’t sound or aren’t in the best interest of the person they’re charged to protect, they can be held accountable.
“This home is called ‘non-conforming,’ meaning it’s unique and there isn’t anything nearby that can be considered a comparable sale. It boasts unique things – like a small golf course.”
Inside Britney’s Struggles From The Spotlight
The home features an epic master bedroom, marble bathrooms, a balcony and even two lounges.
It’s little wonder that the Free Britney movement was clamouring for the dissolution of her 13-year conservatorship, which finally ended in November 2021.
Music PR expert Bob Bradley, from Bradly PR & Marketing, believes that even if you’re on Team Britney or Team K-Fed, she deserves a break after spending virtually her whole life under a microscope.
He says: “I think people forget that Britney has lived her entire life in front of the world, and that kind of attention can really shape a person in ways that are hard to undo.
“She spent years having her every move controlled – and now she’s finally getting to make her own choices. That might look messy to outsiders, but I see someone who’s trying to figure out what freedom really means for her.
A $1million mortgage with the Bank of America was taken out after the massive purchase.
“Does she suffer from mental health challenges? Most likely. Whether that’s something she was predisposed to, or something triggered by a life of trauma and constant attention, we’ll never truly know.
“Her Instagram might seem odd or quirky at times, but I think it’s her way of staying connected and expressing herself.
“She’s not hurting anyone, and after everything she’s been through, that space probably feels like one of the few places she can just be herself without judgment.
“I can absolutely see how a co-parent, or her children, might be concerned after seeing some of that content, as it probably doesn’t set the best example of being ‘normal.’
“But at the end of the day, what creative mega-celebrity isn’t a bit eccentric at times?
“Britney just needs space, empathy, and time to evolve as a person.
“She just doesn’t have to run it through a conservatorship anymore, and at the end of the day, she deserves the chance to live a life without one.”
