The estate got its start in 2012 when Drake bought this 12,500-square-foot mansion in California’s Hidden Hills, named after his popular song The Motto, which was situated on three acres of land. He paid $7.7 million to purchase the home with six bedrooms and ten baths from the owner of a saddle ranch.

Drake’s English-Tudor-style mansionWith its warm-white, modest exterior and timber framing, it has an English-Tudor style that gives the impression of entering a simple, lovely home rather than a place of grandeur. But the mansion has a gymnasium, a screening room, a library, a basketball court, a tennis court, a 25-seater small theater, a private bookshelf entry to his bedroom, and even a wine cellar.

Water Pool Design of Drake House

It boasts a luxurious pool outlined with cave walls, statues of naked women, wet bars, waterfalls, flat-screen televisions and even an 80-foot long slide, a resort retreat in the luminous water. It even houses a horse-stable to fit in five horses; though he doesn’t own any horses, he has a mechanical bull located within the estate.

Known for his parties, he promised the neighbours if his lifestyle disrupts their privacy or goes out of hand, he will buy their houses, and he did stand by that. Drake bought two houses in that area. He purchased one of the neighbour’s houses for $3million and another one later for $4.5 million, making it all together with a 6.7acre estate in Hidden Hills as his YOLO Estate.

Ranch Style House

The neighbouring property acquired by Drake for around $3million is another ranch style house built in 1955 and is situated on a cul-de-sac at the main road, thus creating ample privacy for him and his guests.

It is a four-bedroom open-plan layout with around 1-acre open space comprising a swimming pool, a pool outhouse and an 800-sq. ft. guesthouse. It is with hardwood flooring and loftiness created in the areas with high ceilings. Glass doors spill outside towards the pool. The cosiness made with one storey house is different from the earlier property. A simple palette adds another dimension to the master bedroom.

The other property acquired accumulating the YOLO estate is described as a “mini-Ponderosa” comprising a three-bedroom single-storey house built in the mid-1950s with a 2449 sq. ft. area. The house’s interior is not of his taste, and as luxurious as the other two, it features brick and exposed beam ceiling, flooring in a mix of brick tile and wood. The notable feature is the large fireplace that spans across the living room and the dining room. The property dots with over 2-acre of a mix of redwood pine, citrus and pomegranate trees.
