The Force is Strong Inside Luke Skywalker's $26.5M Hidden Hills Estate

Sci-fi aficionados now have the chance to snap up prime real estate inhabited by Luke Skywalker and his gang of space-dwelling friends – that is, if you’ve got $26.5 million to spare. For decades, this high-security enclave in the Hidden Hills neighbourhood of Los Angeles has played host to countless celebrities seeking a little privacy from the prying eyes of the paparazzi (including an extensive collection of Star Wars memorabilia and props that hid out here in between films). The result is truly out of this world.

May the Force Be With You

Before we take a deep-dive into the Star Wars-themed basement, let’s take a moment to appreciate the cozy exterior of this 18,183-square-foot contemporary Craftsman-style home. Not sure if you’re able to plunk down $26.5 million to purchase this Hidden Hills estate yourself? We’ll bet Darth Vader would find “your lack of faith disturbing.”

Eco-Friendly

Fun fact: the entire estate is eco-friendly through the use of solar power with propane generator backup. Also, the grounds produce a large variety of fruit and organic herbs. Speaking of space, this eco-friendly cabin was designed for life on Mars.
