Inside Jamie Foxx's $10.5 Million Hidden Valley House
Born Eric Marlon Bishop in the relatively small city of Terrell, Texas in 1967, Jamie Foxx is an A-list actor, comedian, and producer who also wears the hat of a singer, a profession in which he has also found major success, collaborating with heavy hitters in the entertainment industry such as rappers Twista, Kanye West, and the certified Loverboy Drake as well as with singers such as Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, and T-Pain. The limitless nature of Foxx has earned him a net worth of $170 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, some of which he has used to purchase an impressive array of real estate properties and, quite frankly, to support his ultra-extravagant lifestyle. Remaining on the topic of real estate, he purchased a lofty Mediterranean-style villa in 2007 for $10.5 million in the Hidden Valley community of Thousand Oaks, California. Here are a few of the features of the home the Oscar-winning actor just couldn't resist.
Foxx has been the proud owner of numerous other mansions in the Los Angeles area, such as his former suburban estate in Tarzana, San Fernando Valley which he used to host epic celebrity house parties until he moved in 2008. By this time, he had already purchased his current Hidden Valley estate, which was an upgrade, to say the least. Boasting around 40 acres of land, the estate covers a massive amount of terrain. As it's in the posh area of Thousand Oaks, a few of his celebrity neighbors would include the hall-of-fame golfer, Tiger Woods, actress Amanda Bynes, Britney Spears, and Justin Bieber to name a few.
The Mediterranean-style mansion was built in 1995 and the structure perched on the 40-acre spread spans a whopping 17,000 square feet and promises panoramic mountainous views of the surrounding landscape. The driveway leading up to the roundabout entrance/exit is decked with mature foliage all the way to the mansion's main door. There is matching limestone throughout the property which really adds to the Mediterranean feel of the building. Although Jamie Foxx keeps his private life off of social media, there are a few photos detailing the royal formal entry with features like a grand double staircase, a huge central chandelier, and high ceilings that add to the spacious feel inside.
While his parties are likely to be a bit more boisterous than those of Tom Hanks' Pacific Palisades mansion, Foxx's property surely isn't lacking in accommodation space for his guests. The sprawling home comes complete with 10 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, a formal living and dining room area, a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen, and extra family rooms and dens throughout its interior. There is also a nice blend of entertainment and education for his two daughters with access to a game room, indoor gym, two large trampolines, table tennis, bike trails on the property, an impressive miniature playhouse, and a library.
It goes without saying that if every other room in this magnificent mansion is so spectacular, then Foxx's master suite is definitely going to be a cut above the rest. According to Velvet Ropes, it comes equipped with its own sitting room decked with two fireplaces and features dual master bathrooms along with a sauna. While it may not be anything compared to the Most Luxurious Saunas in the world, surely it gets the job done! Other features of the suite include an atrium and an outdoor balcony for a complete finish.
A few of the other features that the Ray Charles actor wouldn't be able to live without is the five-car garage that houses some of his most prized possessions on wheels. In case it's been hard to notice, Jamie Foxx enjoys the fruits of his labor and doesn't hold back when it comes to the upkeep of his extravagant lifestyle. He owns a splendid collection of supercars, including a Bugatti Veyron and Lamborghini Gallardo with others too numerous for a five-car garage. Nevertheless, he has enough space on the 40-acre estate to fit them all!
Part of the outstanding features the property also has to add is the fact that it's environmentally friendly. And yes, that means it may even give Chris Brown's $4.3 million Tarzana 'Smart House' some competition, being that Foxx installed a massive solar power panel system on a spread of property directly opposite his mansion. Judging from the size of the solar power installation, it's safe to say that he powers his entire estate on the energy harnessed from the sun, adding him to the list of celebrities who own multi-million eco-friendly homes. An Olympic-sized swimming pool also beautifies the backyard with accompanying outdoor cabanas, and a fully-customized basketball court with stadium-designed seating.
There are also double guest houses for when his fellow musicians come over to make hits in his private recording studio, which has seen the likes of Kelly Rowland, Drake, Brandy, and Bad Boy CEO and entrepreneur, P. Diddy. In addition to at least 61 movies under his belt as a professional Hollywood actor/comedian, Jamie Foxx is also an established R&B singer with five studio albums featuring artists such as Wiz Khalifa, Rick Ross, T.I., Lil' Kim, Ludacris, and Marsha Ambrosius.
