Despite being a global superstar with a widely estimated net worth of tens of millions, Billie Eilish is also still a teenage girl who leads a quiet life with her parents in their relatively modest home in the suburbs of Los Angeles, in the neighborhood. Eastside. from the Highland Park. But that doesn’t mean the 19-year-old singer hasn’t invested her money. After all, with an older brother who already owns three expensive homes in LA, it has long been suspected that Eilish has his own sense of real estate.
And on Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever”, her recently released second studio album, she confirms this theory with more personal and raw lyrics than any of her earlier music. Nowhere is this more apparent than on “NDA” (an acronym for “nondisclosure agreement”), the 13th track and fifth single from the album. The song references Eilish’s difficult love life as a celebrity – having to get a “pretty boy” to sign “an NDA”. More surprisingly, the track also openly reveals that the LA native “bought a secret house when I was seventeen”.
Nowadays, anonymously buying property is difficult anywhere, but it is practically impossible in Hollywood – and especially for someone who is now one of the most famous musicians in the world. But while a deep dive into real estate records doesn’t necessarily prove anything, an assortment of clues seems to confirm that Eilish, in fact, quietly bought a home in 2019.
And all clues point directly to a specific property, a bucolic horse riding estate in the unlikely suburban town of Glendale, Calif., Just 10 minutes northwest (by car) of Highland Park. For one thing, the property was sold by another music star – “X Factor” winner Leona Lewis, best known for her 2009 # 1 worldwide hit “Bleeding Love” – and the deal was closed in October 2019 for around $ 2.3 million, according to property records. (At that time, Eilish was still 17 years old.)
The sale was widely reported in the media due to the seller’s fame, although the buyer was never publicly identified. Records show the property is currently registered with a mysterious office-linked trust in a New York City apartment building – the same office, it turns out, where longtime business leaders are based. ‘Eilish. It should also be noted that the anonymous buyer was replaced in his purchase by a real estate agent who previously worked with Eilish’s brother, Finneas.
Best of all, the estate is zoned for horses and has its own four-stall stables, saddlery, arena, and feeding room – and anyone who knows Eilish knows that horses and riding are two of his “favorite things.” in the world, “as she has said on several occasions. (But she refuses to reveal if she actually owns a horse, for what it’s worth.)
Supremely private, the property is well hidden in a low-key cul-de-sac with the house invisible from the street, walled behind massive 10-foot gates and an even taller hedge. There’s also an extensive security system, naturally, and brick pillars topped with spooky lion sculptures. Beyond the gates is a 2,100 square foot one story ranch that was built in the 1950s but has since been updated, as well as a separate guesthouse and horse keeper apartment, a goat pen and a pen.
Lewis bought the place in 2013 and has done a lot of work to improve the amenities, including an incredibly remodeled swimming pool with its own sunken conversation pit and a Baja deck. The main house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as hardwood floors and sliding glass doors that allow for an indoor / outdoor lifestyle. There is also a new kitchen with high quality stainless steel appliances and white Shaker cabinetry.
Nowadays, Glendale is mainly known for several things: for housing a delicious branch of the famous Porto bakery in Los Angeles, for its huge ethnically Armenian population – one of the largest outside of Armenia itself – and the Glendale Galleria, a huge shopping center where Eilish filmed her video clip “Therefore I Am”. But many people are unaware that there are at least 800 horse-zoned properties in the city, estates much like the new Eilish excavations – some of the last remaining strongholds of a country lifestyle in the Kentucky, right next to downtown Los Angeles.
