For over a year we’ve gotten quick snippets of a sprawling estate on Kevin Hart’s Instagram. It’s clearly not his infamous, longtime home that was burglarized in 2016. That got us wondering – where is this sleek new pad of his? After a bit of digging, we’ve put all the pieces together.
But before we get there, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the obvious. On August 31, 2019, Kevin posted a carefree photo of himself jumping into his pool accompanied by one of his typical upbeat captions – “Being home makes me happy….enjoy your weekend people!!!! #LiveLoveLaugh.” Sadly, only 8 days later in the early morning of September 8th, news broke that Kevin had been in a terrible car accident near his home, suffering significant injuries. Most recent reports suggest he’s on the mend, thankfully. Get well soon, Kev!
According to property records, which are shielded by multiple LLCs linking back to a longtime business partner of Kevin’s, confirm that way back in 2015 he dropped $1.35 million on a 26-acre plot of land in an exclusive Calabasas gated community. And no, it’s not The Oaks. Word on the street is that he got one of two remaining plots in the neighborhood. The other went to NFL Hall of Famer Keyshawn Johnson for $900,000, who quickly flipped the plot for $1.2 million. Side note: Keyshawn sold his home in nearby The Oaks to Kourtney Kardashian in 2014.

Building permits, obtained by Velvet Ropes, show Kevin began construction on a 9,623 square-foot 2-story home in April 2017. Construction costs for the main structure on the property set him back just shy of $2 million. Other records reveal details of his pool, garage, cabana, and landscaping. In total, he spent nearly $5 million building the Spanish-inspired villa.

The Living Room
He’s a family man at heart, y’all! The cozy living room appears to be all about the family. He’s posted a ton of photos cuddling with his kids and their dog. This is our favorite, though…
The Garage
His 900+ square-foot garage, with a 250 square-foot 2nd story pool house above, cost him in the neighborhood of $170,000. As a car fanatic, you can bet it’s full of decked out rides.

The Backyard
Clearly they are outdoorsy! A paved patio lines the rear of the home and looks out onto an 800+ square foot rectangular pool with a roughly 100 square-foot spa situated dead center of the pool. These sleek additions cost the funny man $60,000.

Morning work with my little man… #HustleHart #SundayFunday #LikeFatherLikeSon
The Gym
The backyard is also decked out with a 650 square-foot “open cabana” (as it’s referred to in permitting documents) that cost another $100,000. Based on images, that cabana is actually the indoor/outdoor gym where Kevin and Eniko are often seen on Instagram getting in their workout.

It wasn’t until mid-2018 that photos of the new digs started to appear on Kevin and wife Eniko’s Instagram feeds, which suggests the home took over a year to construct. From what we can tell, this beauty was worth the wait!
