Miley Cyrus knows the power of transformation. The multihyphenate went from Disney star to provocative pop artist to bona fide rock star in the span of less than two decades. Similarly, she’s bought and sold a number of hot properties in both Los Angeles and her home state of Tennessee over the years, leaving her stylish mark on every one of the homes. “My mom believes that nothing is permanent, that there’s nothing that can’t be undone,” she told Architectural Digest during a tour of her Hidden Hills home in 2021.
(Her mother, Tish Cyrus, is an interior designer who worked on that home and redid the Cyrus family home in Nashville.) “People make bold choices in their lives, and sometimes those gambles work and bring you good fortune, and sometimes they don’t. But it’s a risk she’s willing—and I’m willing—to take in our lifestyle, and that is reflected in the design.” Here, we’ve rounded up some of Miley’s most eye-catching properties, including one with a rainbow recording studio and another with equestrian facilities and a vineyard.

Miley is still holding on to her starter home. She paid $3.9 million for the ranch-style property in Studio City (purchased specifically so that she could stay close to her family’s house in Toluca Lake) a year after the release of her third studio album, Can’t Be Tamed. The gated residence features five bedrooms and seven bathrooms spread across 4,948 square feet, with major midcentury-modern vibes: a funky green front door, a skylight-topped living room, floor-to-ceiling glass sliders for smooth indoor-outdoor living, and a glistening saltwater pool and spa out back. There’s even a yoga room.

Next, the singer inched closer to the hubbub of Hollywood with the purchase of a 5.5-acre horse ranch and vineyard in celeb-favorite Hidden Hills. She reportedly paid close to $5 million for it, about the same amount she would later sell it for in 2018. The main house boasted five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms spread across 6,000 square feet, with wide-plank hardwood floors and beamed ceilings. One of the most impressive features was a 1,000-bottle wine cellar. Elsewhere on the grounds were a pool and spa, an outdoor fireplace, a built-in barbecue, vegetable and citrus gardens, and even a small hillside vineyard. There was also a 10-stall barn, a one-acre riding ring, and several fenced paddocks.
