2022 seems to be a busy year for 34-year-old rapper Cameron Thomaz, better known by his stage name, Wiz Khalifa.

The rapper recently released two singles from his upcoming album Multiverse, set to drop later this summer, and is preparing to join Logic on a U.S. tour from July to September. 

All the hard work is paying off for Khalifa, and he’s making the move to a bigger, even more glamorous home than the one he’s occupied for the past three years. 

The rapper has listed his modern mansion in Encino with Alan Tayor of Compass & and Brian Capossela with Cap Equity for $4,495,000.

Khalifa paid $3.4 million for the property when he purchased it back in 2019, and he didn’t have to make any significant upgrades or renovations — the home was gorgeous from the get-go.

Wiz Khalifa is not parting ways, however, with Encino.

He recently paid $7.6 million for another, even bigger mansion in the same area, according to Architectural Digest. Khalifa and his son will be the very first residents of the 8,029-square-foot farmhouse property. 

The 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 5,875-square-foot home sits in the quiet, celebrity-heavy neighborhood of Encino and represents quintessential Cali living, seamlessly blending modern and classic elements.

While the architecture is simple, straightforward, and boxy, the warm wood paneling on the exterior softens it up and gives it a beautiful modern look. 

The beautiful home South of The Boulevard offers complete privacy, which is perfect for celebrities like Khalifa, who are always followed by fans and the prying eyes of the paparazzi.

Outside, there is a gorgeous swimming pool with a firepit, lounging area, an outdoor spa, and a concrete BBQ center — perfect for entertaining guests. 

Inside, guests are greeted by a grand foyer boasting a floating staircase and soaring ceilings bathed in abundant natural light.

You step into a spacious, formal living area that gives off 100% carefree Cali living vibes without even trying.

Nearby is a home theater that’s ideal for watching favorite movies with friends and family, as well as a guest suite and a powder room. 

The main family room is equally cozy and impressive, boasting custom built-ins, a 100-bottle wine bar, a sharp wood-clad fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling glass pocket doors that help you bring the outdoors indoors.

The chef-level kitchen is absolutely stunning, again bathed in abundant sunlight, featuring Miele appliances, custom lacquer cabinets, a walk-in pantry, a butler’s pass through the dining room, as well as a cozy breakfast nook overlooking the private grounds.

Going upstairs, you have six gorgeous, spacious bedrooms, as well as a teen lounge or a home office that connects to an outdoor terrace and wraparound balcony overlooking Santa Susana’s. 

There’s also a primary retreat area with a bar and fridge, a custom fireplace, a large sleeping room with a lounge area, a walk-in center island closet, a spa-style bath, a spacious standing shower and tub, and huge balconies with views of the yard.

For outdoor enthusiasts, there’s also a sports court next to the swimming pool where you can shoot hoops and get some exercise in the California sun.

There’s also a pool cabana that can easily be converted into a home gym, a studio, or a lounging area.

The home is wired for sound and features smart features like state-of-the-art security cameras and multi-zoned Nest heating and air.
