Britney Spears selling her long time Californian home

Pop queen Britney Spears is saying goodbye to her long-time Californian mansion, which is thought to be worth nearly $14 million.

The 40-year-old singer took to Instagram to make the announcement, telling her 39.7 million followers that “I’ve lived in this house for 7 years and I’m in the process of buying a new home ???? … it’s time for change !!!!”

Spears also explained in the Insta post that, while she’d previously been “modest” about her digs, in actuality, the mansion is quite lavish, featuring “3 living rooms”.

However, it would appear that three living areas are just the tip of her opulent residential iceberg.

Located in Thousand Oaks – the second-largest city in Ventura County – the ‘Toxic’ singer’s home sits behind tall gates in the exclusive White Stallion Estates community.

Boasting five bedrooms, eight bathrooms and sitting on a massive 80,937-square-metres of land, the Italian-style villa benefits from a raft of luxuries only too fitting for the multiple Grammy award winner.

There are, of course, regular mansion features, including a large pool and spa, a wood-panelled library, chef’s kitchen, massive home theatre and a 3500-bottle wine cellar.

But, the home’s real grandeur comes from its sheer scale and extensive use of marble, creating an expansive, palatial aesthetic that carries over into the expertly designed and manicured gardens.

There’s also an impressive motor court that sits in front of the residence’s grand entrance, as well as a six-car garage.

The ‘Oops!… I Did It Again’ singer picked up the sizeable estate back in 2015 for roughly $10 million, meaning if she can find a buyer for $14 million, she’ll make a tidy profit.

Not that money’s an issue for the musical megastar, with Spears estimated to have a net worth of more than $80 million.

The mother of two will be adding another serious cash injection soon, too, with news breaking this week that Spears has signed a massive $20 million book deal with publishing outfit Simon & Schuster.

The tell-all memoir-to-be is one of the biggest book deals of all time and will no doubt give her millions of fans more insight into the awful tribulations of her notorious 13-year conservatorship saga.

As for where Spears will end up, only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure, though – her new abode will undoubtedly be just as fabulous as she is.
