KANYE West has abandoned his $6.2million property in the hills of Calabasas, and neighbors are tired of looking at the rundown lot.
The Chicago native once held his gospel services on the 320-acre property but has since moved on.

Photos show the estate sitting abandoned.
It was formerly owned by Lisa Marie Presley, according to TMZ.
There is massive scaffolding around the house on the property – much of which is broken.
Plastic covering the scaffolding, seemingly meant to obscure the view of the empty structure from view, is ripped in several places.
The windows and other openings, like skylights, are also covered in white plastic.
Outside the scaffolding, sitting off to the side of the property, another structure can be seen surrounded by similarly disheveled temporary structures.
A $100,000 Sherp off-road tank/vehicle and a $40,000 Polaris 4×4 appeared to be left behind.
Both appeared to have flat tires, with rust forming.
The grass is patchy and overgrown with weeds coming up through the cracks on paved portions of the property.
Kanye, 45, bought the property in 2018.
According to the Daily Mail, the estate features space for vineyards and several swimming pools that are seemingly no longer being maintained since the rapper abandoned the palatial property.
The home also had a recording studio for the Grammy winner to make music in.
This isn’t the first home in Kanye’s real estate portfolio that he’s left behind to rot.

YE COMING BACK?
It appears the home has been sitting like this for some time, as earlier this year, the property was in a similar state, the Daily Mail reported.
Aerial photos of the home released to the outlet in February showed garbage and abandoned items strewn about the land.
Along with the forgotten 4×4 tank, a barbecue smoker was left behind.
The home was said to be the headquarters for Kanye’s Donda Academy.
Drums, tricycles, and school-related items were also left behind on the property.
Kanye reportedly hasn’t lived on the property in some time.
He lived there with his then-girlfriend Irina Shayk, turning the house into a bachelor pad amid his split from Kim Kardashian.
She remains in the nearby $60million mansion they bought together and once shared with their four children: North, Saint, Psalm, and Chicago.

DIVIDING ASSETS
After calling it quits, Kim and Kanye were forced to divvy up the properties they had purchased together.
TMZ reported at the time that the Yeezy founder agreed to transfer the title of a $4.5million home situated next to Kim’s Southern California home.
The house has five bedrooms and spans 3,650 square feet.
It is in need of extensive renovations and is expected to be completely torn down.
Kanye was said to have bought the home to be closer to his children.
Kim also got to keep their $60million estate in Hidden Hills, California, and a property in Idaho.
Kanye, for his part, was granted ownership of a $60million Malibu beach house bought in September 2021, two ranches in Wyoming, the over 300-acre property in Calabasas, a home in Belgium, and the Chicago home he grew up in.
