The 9-bedroom property is located on 3 acres and features a 9,200-square-foot modern home, 2 guest houses, and then a separate 3-bedroom house, all located at 1192, 1196, and 1199 Cabrillo Drive, a private street in Beverly Hills. The homes are also surrounded by trees to ensure Seacrest’s privacy on his sprawling estate. The grounds of the compound include a large rectangular lap pool, an attractive pond and gardens, a carport, and a long driveway. There is also a tennis court and 2 levels of gardens. Seacrest told Architectural Digest that he was looking for a home that would keep him away “from the hustle and bustle of the city.”

Just the entrance to the estate makes you feel like you are on vacation at some fabulous resort. The front entrance features giant palms and other plantings by Agua Landscape, as well as urns in front of the main entrance.

A curious feature of the property is a nearby, giant green tank. It is about the size of a medium house and could possibly be for water storage, but its exact function remains a mystery.

Seacrest combined antiques and modern furniture for his living room and has fabrics ranging from paisley to velvet to suede. His bedroom features a masculine wood and African look with a wood canopy bed. Seacrest said he wanted a bedroom which gave him “a feeling of peace.”
