Yahoo News Yolanda Hadid’s Former Malibu Mansion Just Hit the Market for $35 Million
When this Malibu home first appeared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills back in 2013, the Mediterranean-inspired villa generated plenty of buzz for its poshly decked-out interiors. Viewers particularly swooned over the glass-front produce fridge, which even had its own social media accounts. Its then-owner Yolanda Hadid has since moved on to other residential circumstances—first to a penthouse in L.A. and then a farm in Pennsylvania—and her TV-famous former digs have just popped up for sale, asking a speck under $35 million.
The former model and TV personality—mother to models Gigi, Bella and Anwar Hadid—acquired the property in 2007 for $4.5 million. She then set about extensively rebuilding every inch of the place that she would go on to share with her erstwhile Grammy-winning composer husband David Foster, working in collaboration with a reported team of 100 builders. Hadid sold the six-bedroom, 11-bath mansion eight years later, in 2015, for $19.5 million to Vista Equity Partners founder Robert F. Smith and his model wife Hope, who leased it out for $450,000 a month in 2019 to reality TV star and beauty mogul Kylie Jenner.

Personal touches added to the residence during Hadid’s tenure include resort-style grounds spotlighted by an infinity-edge pool, a fire pit, an al fresco dining area, and a hillside lemon orchard. There’s a kitchen featuring an eat-in island, top-tier stainless appliances, a breakfast room, and that ever-popular fruit and vegetable refrigerator (aka a “frantry”), plus a formal dining area that sits across from a glam living room.
Resting on a 3.2-acre bluff-top parcel across Pacific Coast Highway from the ocean, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure is described in the listing held by Daniel Milstein and Aaron Kirman of AKG | Christie’s International Real Estate as the spot “where Mediterranean charm meets Southern California perfection.” Featured is nearly 11,700 square feet of living space on three levels punctuated by soaring ceilings, dark hardwood floors, and walls of glass overlooking sweeping views of the Pacific and Santa Monica Mountains.
Some of the other standout features include a cozy family room that opens to a covered terrace warmed by a fireplace, as well as a wood-paneled study, a plush movie theater, and a wet bar-equipped game room. There’s also a tricked-out primary suite, which boasts a fireplace, a private balcony, a shelf-lined office nook tucked off to the side, and dual designer showroom closets and luxe baths.
Relaxation is the name of the lower level’s game. Down there, you’ll find a double wine cellar with room for about 2,000 bottles and a spa oasis replete with a full mirrored gym, massage and cold-plunge rooms, and steam and sauna facilities. The amenities continue outdoors, with an attached four-car garage and a gated motorcourt that has additional parking space for at least 20 vehicles.
The Dutch-born 60-year-old appeared on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for four seasons, from 2012 to 2016. She reportedly left the show to focus on her recovery from Lyme disease and was divorced from Foster in 2015. Today, Hadid reportedly lives a peaceful life on her Pennsylvania farm.
