Behind ironclad gates in the sanctum of Hidden Valley Estates, sanctuary to stars, Zoe Saldana is bidding adieu to her storied manor after seven years of proprietorship. The acclaimed actress, renowned for roles traversing galaxies in Star Trek, Avatar, and Guardians of the Galaxy, is offering her tennis court estate for $16.5 million, having acquired it from fashion luminary Kimora Lee Simmons for $8.7 million in 2016.
Nestled on a manicured half-acre parcel, the original 1974 construction has since been reimagined into a polished three-story, five-bedroom, seven-bath residence of 6,400 regal square feet. Within, imported stone and designer lighting pair with hardwood floors to exude refinement.
A winding walkway guides visitors through verdant gardens to columned porches, beyond which lie vaulted foyers and staircases. The dining room, ensconced in fine wood, neighbors a living room warmed by a fireplace and cooled by modern glass-and-steel cabinetry. The grandeur extends to gourmet kitchens and lounges abundant.
Upstairs, the lavish master suite provides sitting areas and dual closets flanking swathes of marble and an oval soaking tub. Elsewhere, amenities cater to entertainment, exercise, and gatherings around the pool, spa, and professional-grade tennis court, all privy to these secluded grounds.
Indeed, Saldana inhabits rarified company, with A-listers counted among nearby residents. The estate offers a life exclusive yet peaceful, an oasis securing tranquility behind fortress walls and verdant barriers.
Though now, as the actress voyages into future pursuits, the estate awaits a new custodian, one with $16.5 million to spare. Perhaps another creator will claim its court and halls, using its free-flowing spaces as incubators where new works are born. Or maybe an industry titan will make it a personal Versailles.
Saldana’s upcoming projects include Avatar 3 and Avatar 4.
