NBA Star Rui Hachimura Nets an All New Los Angeles Farmhouse

Riding high off a recently inked three year, $51 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, Rui Hachimura has invested some of that cash into a modern farmhouse style residence in a prime section of Encino . Originally listed for a speck under $7.5 million, records show the all new property went for a discounted $7.2 million to the history making forward —the first ever Japanese born player selected in the first round of the NBA Draft, taken with the No.

9 overall pick by the Washington Wizards in 2019. Completed this year, the two story home features six bedrooms and seven baths spread across almost 7,350 square feet of living space adorned throughout with brushed natural stone, carbon cold rolled steel, white oak, Douglas fir, Ceppo di Gré limestone, gunmetal finishes and reeded glass.

Glass doors offer seamless indoor outdoor environs, and amenities include a movie theater and gym. Hachimura’s recently acquired residence sits at the end of a cul de sac, amid a walled and gated parcel spanning a third of an acre, with a driveway tucked off to the side of the two tone gray and charcoal structure emptying out at an attached three car garage boasting sleek black doors.

From there, the front door opens into an entry hallway that flows to an office with built in shelving on one side and a living room that spills out to an enclosed patio sporting a fire pit on the other. Additional main level highlights include a wet bar equipped dining room and spacious family room anchored by a floor to ceiling fireplace, plus access to not one but two outdoor spaces that are ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining.

An adjoining gourmet kitchen is outfitted with two islands, top tier appliances and a butler’s pantry. A floating glass staircase heads upstairs, where a fireside master retreat comes complete with a balcony, walk in closet, and spa inspired bath decked out with dual vanities, a soaking tub and an oversized double shower; and outdoors, the private backyard is laced with olive and Italian cypress trees, and hosts a pool and spa flanked by a sundeck, kitchen and barbecue setup, and fireside lounge area.

There’s also a fully permitted accessory dwelling unit with its own kitchenette and living area. The 25 year old native of Toyama, Japan, was traded to the Lakers in early 2023. Previously a restricted free agent, the forward’s current contract with the team earns him an average annual salary of around $17 million.

He’s also known for having appeared on the hit Tokyo reality show Terrace House . The listing was held by Adi Livyatan of Rodeo Realty and Sally Forster Jones of Compass; Michael Henderson of Compass repped Hachimura..
