Kylie Jenner has spent six years building a house she almost never showed anyone. On Sunday, she changed her mind — walking her 12.1 million YouTube subscribers through the still-unfinished Hidden Hills estate she’s been quietly constructing since 2020, room by room, olive tree by olive tree.
Kylie Jenner Finally Shows Off Her Six-Year Mansion Project
The video marks the first real, guided look at the five-acre property, which Jenner reportedly bought as an empty lot for around $15 million back in 2020. In the tour, she calls it “my beautiful dream Italian home,” walking fans past a reclaimed cobblestone driveway and through Mediterranean-style grounds designed by landscape architect Jim Hyatt, whose past work includes the celebrated San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara. Lavender bushes line the paths, and the property is dotted with what Jenner describes as ancient olive trees, transplanted to give the six-year-old build an established, decades-old feel from day one.
Inside the “Dream Italian Home”
Most of the tour focuses on the grounds and lower level, since large parts of the main house are reportedly still mid-construction. The basement level is furthest along, with a finished gym and spa area and guest bathrooms done out in stone and vintage tile. Outside, Jenner points to a poured concrete court she plans to use for sports, along with space earmarked for an outdoor dining area and a rose garden she hasn’t planted yet. She also walks through plans for multiple fireplaces and finished wood flooring in the sections that are further along.
It’s a very different kind of home reveal than fans are used to from celebrity real estate content — less finished showcase, more construction-site diary. Jenner is candid throughout about what’s done, what’s placeholder, and what’s still just an idea on a mood board, which is part of what makes the video feel less like a promotional home tour and more like an actual progress update.
Why Kylie Decided to Share the Tour Now
Jenner has been notably private about this specific build for most of the six years she’s owned the land, especially compared to how publicly she’s documented other parts of her life. In the video, she explains the decision to finally open the doors: so many details of the house had already leaked online through paparazzi shots and secondhand reports that she felt she may as well show it on her own terms, with accurate context, instead of letting speculation fill in the blanks.
How This Compares to Her Famous 2019 Mansion
It’s worth being clear that this is not the same property that made headlines in 2019, when a different Kylie Jenner Hidden Hills home landed the cover of Architectural Digest and reportedly became one of the magazine’s most-viewed features ever. That was a separate, previously built estate. The property in this new tour is an entirely different lot Jenner has owned and slowly developed since 2020, which explains why it’s still under construction six years later rather than being presented as a finished showpiece.
Jenner joins a run of major celebrity home and wealth reveals this year — Taylor Swift’s real estate holdings have been broken down in detail, while fans have gotten a similar look inside Shah Rukh Khan’s Mumbai mansion Mannat. Long-term home-building projects like Jenner’s tend to generate exactly this kind of sustained interest precisely because they unfold in public over years rather than arriving finished overnight.
What’s Still to Come
Based on the tour, the Hidden Hills property is still some distance from completion. The rose garden hasn’t been planted, the sports court area needs finishing touches, and several interior spaces beyond the basement weren’t shown at all, suggesting they’re either unfinished or intentionally being saved for a future update. Given how long this build has already taken, it’s reasonable to expect Jenner will document further progress rather than disappear until a single dramatic reveal — the six-year build has, after all, become as much a part of the story as the house itself.
FAQ
How much did Kylie Jenner reportedly pay for the property?
Jenner reportedly purchased the five-acre Hidden Hills lot for around $15 million in 2020, before construction began. That figure refers to the land only, not the finished home.
Is this the same house from Kylie’s 2019 Architectural Digest cover?
No. The 2019 Architectural Digest feature covered a different, previously completed Hidden Hills property. The home shown in the new tour is a separate estate she has owned and been building since 2020.
Is the house finished?
Not yet. The basement, including the gym, spa, and guest bathrooms, appears to be the most complete section. Several planned features, including a rose garden and outdoor dining area, are still in progress.
Six years in, Kylie Jenner’s Hidden Hills project is still very much a work in progress — but for the first time, fans finally have an accurate, on-the-record look at how far it’s actually come.
