Pop icon <\/a>Selena Gomez<\/a> has officially offloaded her sprawling Encino<\/a> abode in Los Angeles for $5.399 million\u2014four months after listing the property and shortly after picking up a $35 million marital mansion.<\/a><\/p>\n

The 34-year-old singer and actress purchased the six-bedroom, 8.5-bathroom dwelling for $4.89 million in 2020, around three years before\u00a0she began dating <\/a>Benny Blanco<\/a>, 38, whom she wed in September 2025.<\/p>\n

However, after she and her husband snapped up a new, much larger\u00a0Beverly Hills<\/a>\u00a0dwelling for $35 million in February 2025, it seemed Gomez no longer needed her former bachelorette pad, which spans nearly 11,500 square feet and sits on just under an acre.<\/p>\n

Gomez’s ownership of the dwelling\u00a0was mentioned in the listing\u2014which also noted that the property was formerly home to\u00a0another music legend,\u00a0<\/a>Tom Petty<\/a>, who had the home custom built in 1989 and owned it until 2017, when it was sold just a few months before his death.<\/p>\n

Before Gomez purchased the property six years ago, it underwent a meticulous renovation and is now described as a “private celebrity compound” that “evokes a magical vision of romance, inspiration, and tranquility.”<\/p>\n

“Formerly home to music icon Tom Petty and superstar Selena Gomez, this spectacular estate offers distinctive architecture crafted with exceptional attention to detail and the finest quality,” the listing added.<\/p>\n

The five-bedroom mansion with soaring ceilings and a gourmet kitchen features a rockin’ lower level that includes a wine cellar, gym, massage room, creative work area, kitchen, vocal booth, den, and guest suite.<\/p>\n

Upon entering the home, guests are greeted with an expansive living area that features a chic fireplace.<\/p>\n

“The front entry opens to the living room, immediately setting the stage with sophisticated architecture and soaring ceilings. The home includes a family room, formal dining room, and a sprawling kitchen,” the listing read.<\/p>\n

On the main level, there is the gorgeous primary suit, which comes complete with a wooden ceiling and enough space for a king-sized bed.<\/p>\n

“The main level features a spectacular primary suite, complemented by an upper-level second primary suite and four additional bedroom suites,” added the listing.<\/p>\n

The kitchen is certainly the crown jewel of the home thanks to its marble countertops, island, and brick stove.<\/p>\n

The primary bathroom features a dual vanity, a glass-enclosed shower, and a large soaking tub.<\/p>\n

Heading to the lower level, guests will see a wine cellar, gym, massage room, office, glam room, a kitchen, and a vocal booth, which is thought to have been part of Petty’s original recording studio\u2014and will likely have served as the perfect place for Gomez to write her latest hits.<\/p>\n

Gomez’s personal touches are still visible in several rooms of the house, although listing images show that it has been completely cleared of all her personal belongings, including a fun floral wallpaper that has been added to an area of the glam room.<\/p>\n

There is also a sizable home movie theater that, in a not-so-subtle nod to the property’s celebrity owner, was photographed with a video of Gomez performing flashed up on the screen.<\/p>\n

Outside the property is just as luxurious, with numerous entertaining areas spread around the grounds, as well as a stunning swimming pool and spa that provides the perfect place to relax.<\/p>\n

“The idyllic exterior grounds include a cabana with bar, fire pit, al fresco dining area, and a cascading waterfall and stream flowing into the pool and spa. Here is your chance to live amongst the stars,” the listing read.<\/p>\n

While the home served as Gomez’s primary residence for several years, she and her husband have since moved on to an even splashier dwelling.<\/p>\n

Prior to being purchased by Gomez and Blanco, the property was owned by a famous Hollywood director, according to TMZ, which first reported the news of the sale. (Instagram)<\/p>\n

They shared their exciting relationship update on Dec. 11, when the actress shared a series of images of herself modeling a dazzling diamond on\u00a0that\u00a0finger, revealing that her beau popped the question while they were enjoying a Taco Bell picnic.<\/p>\n

However, what she didn’t reveal at the time was that she and Blanco had just closed on a stunning seven-bedroom, 12-bathroom dwelling, which they purchased on Dec. 4, according to records seen by Realtor.com\u00ae.<\/p>\n

The property actually comprises two lots that are home to an expansive main residence and two separate guesthouses\u2014one of which boasts its own studio, while the other houses a home theater.<\/p>\n

Prior to being purchased by Gomez and Blanco, the property was owned by a famous Hollywood director, according to\u00a0TMZ<\/a>, which first reported the news of the sale.<\/p>\n

When the singer and her fianc\u00e9 bought the home, it marked one of the priciest sales in the area in 2024.<\/p>\n

The Spanish-inspired, opulent pad features a spiral staircase and library. Outside the mansion, there is a fitness center, pool, and a glass greenhouse solarium, which is a nod to Blanco’s green thumb; the singer has been known to use his garden to give back to the community.<\/p>\n

The property is surrounded by lush landscaping and features sophisticated stone flooring encompassing the pool.<\/p>\n

Gomez and Blanco purchased the property in an off-market deal that was carried out via an LLC that is associated with the music producer’s business manager.<\/p>\n

The property was last sold in August 2021, when it was picked up for $30.7 million.<\/p>\n

At the time, it was described in its listing as a “true masterwork” and a “perfect combination of authentic details, fine craftsmanship, and the best modern amenities.”<\/p>\n

The listing noted that the home featured an array of different living spaces, including a “fairytale playroom” and a “sensational living room.”<\/p>\n

Gomez recently shared a glimpse inside the couple’s martial home, revealing that they have focused on incorporating color into the property with vibrant shelves and blue cabinets in their kitchen.<\/p>\n

She also shared a photo of the backyard, revealing that it comes complete with lush greenery and a rose-covered patio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pop icon Selena Gomez has officially offloaded her sprawling Encino abode in Los Angeles for $5.399 million\u2014four months…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":595143,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[2003,22601,430,156,111,139,69,814,1999,128901],"class_list":["post-595142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-benny-blanco","tag-beverly-hills","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-property","tag-selena-gomez","tag-tom-petty"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=595142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/595143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=595142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=595142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=595142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
