If one is talking about celebrities who love horses, mentioning Miley Cyrus becomes imperative. The Disney star, pop icon, and country girl has loved horses since she was a little girl. As a child, she used to ride horses on her father’s farm. She might have grown up to become an internationally famous singer, but in her growing days, Miley Cyrus absolutely adored horses.
Cyrus’ obsession with horses is what prompted her to shell out $5 million for the luxurious Hidden Hills Equestrian Estate situated just out of Los Angeles. The massive estate was her reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the city. She bought the estate in early May 2015. However, in 2018, she sold it.

The entire transaction was described to be very hush-hush by Dirt magazine. The real estate yenta Yolanda Yakketyyak revealed Dirt was the source of the information that Miley Cyrus had made a clandestine, not-yet-completed off-market deal to sell her unfrequented equestrian estate in Hidden Hills, California.
The sale was made to an unknown buyer for an amount almost equaling $5 million in 2018. The pop phenomenon bought the estate in May 2015 for the same amount. The estate consisted of two stories, a tree-lined driveway making its way up a guard-gated street. It was built of bricks and contained five bedrooms. The estate consists of a 6,500-square-foot ranch-style house” with “beamed ceilings, walls of French doors, wide-plank wood floors, and pastoral views.
It also has 5.5 bathrooms, a vast great room featuring wide-plank hardwood floorboards, a beamed and vaulted ceiling, and a wet bar with a 1,000-bottle wine cellar. These are not the only facilities available at the equestrian estate. The grandeur of it is truly astonishing.
