In 2012, Nasir “Nas” Jones lost his Georgia house to a public foreclosure due to tax delinquency. However, the legendary hip-hop artist appears to be improving. He just moved into a $3.5 mιllιon mansion in Calabasas’ semi-rural outskirts and won his first Grammy for the rap album “King’s Diseɑse” after 14 nominations.
The 2007 Mediterranean-meets-Southwestern home, originally listed for $2.5 mιllιon, has four bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, soaring ceilings, arched doorways, and limestone floors. The property’s 10+ acres and features sparked a bidding bɑttle.
Nas’ new home, hidden behind a long driveway and guarded by gates and cameras, overlooks beautiful mountain views. The multilevel residence has a double-height foyer with a wrought-iron staircase and a motorcourt with an eight-car garage.
Steps lead to the main floor, which features a fireplace living area with built-in bookshelves and glass sliders to a patio. The gourmet kitchen has a central island, Viking appliances, granite countertops, a breakfast nook, butler’s pantry, fireplace family room, formal dining room, and office.
The residence also has a large wine cellar with tasting area and a billiards room with a wet bar. A luxurious master retreat has a two-way fireplace, sitting area, private balcony, dual walk-in closets, a gym, and a spa-like bath with a jetted soaking tub and steam shower. The backyard has an outdoor dining terrace with a built-in BBQ and a grotto-style pool with a Jacuzzi, waterfall, and water slide. A rooftop balcony with endless views completes everything.
Nas, 48, debuted in 1991 on Main Source’s “Live at the Barbecue.” “Illmatic” was his 1994 debut, while “It Was Written” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts in 1996. Nas, MTV’s “Greatest MC of All Time,” has sold over 25 mιllιon records and earned eight platinum albums. He’s a record producer, entrepreneur, and actor valued around $70 mιllιon.
