Kelly Clarkson Looking To Sell Her Encino Farmhouse for $8.9M
The pop star Kelly Clarkson would like to record an exit from her home in Encino, CA. The modern farmhouse is on the market for $8.9 million, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The Grammy winner grabbed the trophy property in 2018, for $8.5 million. After owning the home for two years, she placed the massive mansion on the market for just under $10 million in 2020.
With no buyers stepping up to belt out an offer, she has reduced the asking price, first to $9.5 million and now to the current price. Perhaps the price cut will be in tune with a sale.
The pristine property is billed as “celebrity-owned,” and the listing notes that it’s located in the “prestigious Royal Oaks neighborhood.”
Measuring 10,000 square feet, with exposed beam ceilings and a bright, white interior, it features eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. The soaring ceilings and sliding walls of glass seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces.
A “chef’s dream” kitchen includes three islands, a La Cornue range, and state-of-the art appliances. A main bedroom suite includes a fireplace, private patio, and immense walk-in closet.
Other perks include a home theater, gym, wine room, and a two-level guesthouse with a kitchen and two bathrooms.
The half-acre, parklike grounds are dotted with mature palms, a pool, and a spa. The built-in lounge, fire pit, and the kitchen with a pizza oven make it easy to entertain outdoors.

The singer has another home on the market she’s been trying to unload for years. Her Hendersonville, TN, mansion has been on the market since 2017, when it was listed for $8.75 million. Clarkson picked up the enormous estate with her now-estranged husband, Brandon Blackstock, for $2.86 million in 2013.
The two have since moved on from the home, and recently filed for divorce. However, the couple’s country house remains on the market, although it has come down in price. It’s now available for $6.95 million. Even with the discount, it’s still the most expensive listing in the area.
The 20,000-square-foot gated lakefront house on 4-plus acres features seven bedrooms, a grand foyer with a two-story great room with fireplace, French doors, a mezzanine, and a spacious, eat-in kitchen.
A dramatic double staircase from an outdoor balcony leads down to the grounds, which include a private dock, saltwater pool, and two spas. Jack Miller with Parks Realty represents the listing.
Clarkson rocketed to fame after winning the first season of “American Idol” in 2002. The “Thankful” hitmaker has sold 25 million albums and 45 million singles worldwide. She has also served as a coach on “The Voice,” and has hosted her own talk show.
