Hip-hop icon Nas, also known as Nasir “Nas” Jones, has come a long way since his struggles with tax debt and foreclosure in 2012. His recent accomplishments include winning his first-ever Grammy for the rap album “King’s Disease” and acquiring a magnificent $3.5 million mansion in the semi-rural outskirts of Calabasas.

This custom-built Mediterranean-meets-Southwestern architectural masterpiece boasts four bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and over 6,500 square feet of living space. With its soaring ceilings, arched doorways, and limestone floors, the property exudes grandeur. The expansive 10+ acres of land and stunning mountain views attracted a competitive bidding war.

Nas’ new home offers privacy and security, featuring gated entryways, security cameras, and a lengthy driveway. A motorcourt and eight-car garage welcome guests to the multilevel house. Inside, a double-height foyer leads to the main level, featuring a fireside living room with built-in bookshelves and glass sliders opening onto a terrace.

The gourmet kitchen boasts a center island, high-end Viking appliances, granite countertops, and a breakfast nook. Additional rooms include a fireside family room, formal dining room, and an office.

Impressive amenities await within the residence, such as a sizable wine cellar with a tasting area and a billiards room complete with a wet bar. The luxurious master retreat includes a two-way fireplace, sitting room, private balcony, dual walk-in closets, a gym, and a spa-like bath with a jetted soaking tub and steam shower. Outdoor highlights encompass an al fresco dining patio with a built-in barbecue and a grotto-style pool featuring a spa, waterfall, and water slide. To top it all off, a roof deck offers breathtaking views.

Nas, now 48, began his music career in 1991 and quickly gained recognition for his exceptional talent. His debut album “Illmatic” released in 1994, followed by “It Was Written” in 1996, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts.

Recognized by MTV as one of “The Greatest MCs of All Time,” Nas has sold over 25 million records worldwide and has eight platinum albums to his 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞. Beyond his musical pursuits, he is also a record producer, entrepreneur, and actor, with an estimated net worth of around $70 million.

With his latest real estate acquisition, Nas continues to cement his legacy as a cultural icon and demonstrates his success in both the music industry and the world of luxury real estate.
