The singer, talk show host and coach on “The Voice” once shared the mansion with her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock.
Kelly Clarkson’s sprawling 10,108 square foot Encino mansion in California has finally sold for $8.24 million, $260,000 less than its purchase price and over $0.75 million less than the asking price. The property has been on the market for the past 17 months, having been listed in May 2020.
Clarkson’s Encino mansion was listed for $9.995 million with Compass’ Chris Corkum and Lisa Brende. A month after its listing, on the back of rumors that Clarkson, 39, had filed for divorce, the listing page reverted to “withdrawn/cancelled.” In February this year, it was reported that the mansion had once again been relisted for $8.995 million.
Property records now indicate Clarkson’s Encino mansion has been sold officially for $8.24 million through the same realtors.
According to the records, Clarkson acquired the mansion for $8.5 million in June 2018 and paid for it in the same year so she takes a $260,000 hit in the sale. The purchase came five years after her marriage to her now ex-husband.
The latest sale comes only a few months after she offloaded her 20,000-square-foot Tennessee mansion for $6.3 million. The singer has been on a selling spree this year but she has also chalked up some property.
Though she is offloading one mega California property, the three-time Grammy Award winner will still remain a California homeowner following her purchase of 5,000 square feet, five-bedroom, Colonial-style home for $5.445 million which is located a few minutes to the east in Toluca Lake. Compared to her two old mega mansions in California and Tennessee, the singer has downsized a bit with her latest purchase.
About Clarkson’s Former Encino Mansion
The 10,108-square-foot Encino mega-mansion is a farmhouse in San Fernando Valley that was custom-built in 2018. The house has 8 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. It is a blend of the rustic and industrial themes with an open floor plan along with high wood-beamed ceilings. The sprawling mansion includes a gym, a movie theater, a billiards room as well as a gigantic wine cellar that extends over two stories. The property sits on a half an acre and is situated in the Royal Oaks neighborhood. The Encino also spots a decadent two-story guesthouse along with a leafy backyard with all the essential outdoor amenities on any prospective homebuyer’s wish list including a lawn, a pool, a spa, a fire pit as well as a covered lounge that is equipped with a pizza oven.
The Encino farmhouse makes quite an impression, not just for its sheer size and its famous (former owner) but also in its distinct exteriors which consists of wood paneling.
The interior of the house was fashioned from different materials such as blended brick flooring, various playful tiling finishes in the bathroom and in the farmhouse’s many fireplaces, and handmade wooden barn doors.
With eight bedrooms and eleven bathrooms, there is ample space in the mansion but it also features an expansive backyard, complete with a full outdoor kitchen.
The Encino mansion has been designed to accommodate both long-term and short-term guests. The main house features a game room, a home theater, a temperature-controlled wine room and a fitness center. The array of features and amenities in this Clarkson mansion make it an appealing acquisition for any buyer. While the identity of the buyer hasn’t been disclosed, they were represented by The Agency’s Craig Knizek in the sale.
