Kanye West and Kim Kardashian buy a neighbouring property to their California home for $US2,975,000

Hip-hop artist Kanye West and reality television star Kim Kardashian have snapped up a neighbouring property to their California home for $US2,975,000 ($A4.31 million).

The celebrity couple splashed out on the expansive estate in Hidden Hills, on the suburban edge of Los Angeles, according to Variety.

Overlooking nearby state parkland, the four-bedroom residence was marketed as offering “very private” grounds on a 6000-square-metre block.

It boasts a pool, spa, water feature, barbecue and four-car garage.

The land is split in two by a road, with the extra parcel across the street featuring a barn and corral area for keeping horses.

Agents on the deal were Marc Shevin and Rory Shevin of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California.

West and Kardashian bought their current home, once owned by Lisa Marie Presley, for $US20 million in 2014. It came with two pools, two vineyards and a massive entertainment pavilion.

West snapped up a Wyoming ranch earlier this year, after it was listed with an asking price of $US14 million. He spent significant time there working on recent projects.

Last year he sold a one-bedroom New York City apartment, which has since been listed for resale with an asking price of $US4.7 million.

His recent plan to house the homeless in Star Wars-inspired dome structures hit a snag when it emerged he did not have the proper permits to build them, leading to their demolition.

He last month released a new album, Jesus is King.

Kardashian, of the reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, now in its 17th season, last week made headlines when she dressed up as Elle Woods from romcom Legally Blonde for Halloween and rerecorded a scene from the movie.
