Leonardo DiCaprio Adds Neighbor’s Home to His Hollywood Hills Compound in $10.5 Million Deal
Leonardo DiCaprio has given himself quite the holiday gift this Christmas: a brand-new home right next door.
The Oscar-winning actor recently acquired his neighbor’s property in the exclusive Bird Streets neighborhood of Hollywood Hills for $10.5 million in an off-market deal. The purchase adds to DiCaprio’s sprawling estate, which now encompasses multiple adjoining parcels totaling over 5 acres.
Details about the newly purchased home are limited, as it was never publicly listed. Built in 1963, the salmon-colored residence spans more than 3,500 square feet and features four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Tucked behind boxy hedges for privacy, the property also includes a long driveway and a pool, as seen in aerial images.
DiCaprio, 48, facilitated the purchase through a limited liability company tied to his cousin and longtime business associate, Robert Hrtica.
This isn’t the first time DiCaprio has expanded his real estate footprint in the area. He first moved into the neighborhood in the 1990s, purchasing a property from Madonna for $2.5 million. Over the years, he has steadily acquired adjacent parcels, transforming the area into a luxurious private compound.
However, his relationship with neighbors hasn’t always been smooth. In 2007, neighbors filed a lawsuit accusing DiCaprio of negligence during the construction of a basketball court, claiming the work destabilized their property. The lawsuit was eventually settled in 2009.
Earlier this year, DiCaprio sold another Los Angeles property, a nearly 100-year-old home known as Red Oak Manor, which was listed for 4.9million∗∗.Hehadoriginallypurchasedtheestatefrommusician∗∗Moby∗∗in∗∗2018∗∗for∗∗4.19 million.
Representatives for DiCaprio did not immediately respond to requests for comment on his latest acquisition.
With this new purchase, DiCaprio continues to solidify his status as one of Hollywood’s most discerning real estate investors, blending luxury with privacy in one of Los Angeles’ most coveted neighborhoods.
