Mariah Carey and James Packer are living the high life. Still on cloud nine following their whirlwind romance and recent engagement, the power couple have now moved into a cliff-top perched mansion, inside the ultra exclusive gated community The Oaks in Calabasas, Los Angeles. The plush rental property features a sprawling 18,000 sq ft mansion on a one hectare property, that is rumoured to be two houses away from Kourtney Kardashian, among other celebrity neighbours.
The Australian billionaire businessman and the pop star are reportedly spending US$250,000 (AU$$350,000) a month to rent the house in the "family friendly area". It's understood the 45-year-old diva's twins Moroccan and Monroe, four, will also stay with the couple in the mansion, which also boasts plenty of room for the kids to play in the backyard - with lots of grassy areas as well as plenty of palm trees for shade on the hot LA days.
Having lots of Hollywood heavyweights as friends, like Robert Di Niro and Leonardo Di Caprio, the couple have opted for a house with multiple entertainment areas both inside and out, to be able to invite everyone over. There appears to be one outdoor setting position undercover, just outside of the kitchen and living spaces, while another semi-circle table setting is visible closer to the pool, for when they would like to soak up the sunshine.
Just off the generous sized back patio there is a large in-ground pool and off to the side of the single story home is a basketball court with two large basketballs painted onto the centre of the black and orange themed courts. The 48-year-old casino mogul is not known to shoot hoops but might perhaps take up the pursuit with the close by court. Meanwhile, for the adults, the home boasts a theatre, gym and sauna as well.

The back of the house looks to have multiple bay windows, bringing in plenty of natural light into the home. While the front of the house looks equally as glamorous, with a small semi-circle driveway for guest drop-offs, with what appears to be a four-car garage off to the side, with its own driveway entrance. There are also manicured lawn but minimal gardens across the front of the house, which features multiple angles.
The couple are believed to have moved into the rental property, shortly after their New York engagement earlier this month. Leasing agent Emil Hartoonian of The Agency told DailyMail.com on Monday that the incredibly rich and incredibly famous pair were looking for privacy when they honed in on the one-acre estate. "It's a beautiful place to live and raise a family," Hartoonian said. "It's one of the very, very few homes to meet their criteria."
"It's in a double-gated community and they are behind the second set of gates so there's a double layer of security," he said. In addition to the mega movie theatre, gym and spa, the home offers incredible city views, as well as being close to the Pacific Ocean. It's understood the couple will have the option to buy the house, which has taken five years to build and has never been on the market, should they want to stay there at the end of their lease.
