Rui Hachimura, L.A. Lakers Forward, Invests $7.25M in Encino Mansion with Impressive Shoe Collection and Serene Retreat

Rui Hachimura, the forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, has made a substantial real estate investment in Encino, California.

The Japanese basketball player recently purchased a contemporary mansion spanning over 7,300 square feet, featuring six bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, for a total investment of $7,250,000.

Hachimura, who signed a five-year, $51 million contract with the Lakers last summer, has the financial means to make such a purchаse. Several photographs of his newly acquired property, located approximately 20 miles east of Los Angeles, are provided below.

The listing information describes this brand-new residence as a modern farmhouse; however, based on the limited observations we have made, it appears to have a more modern aesthetic rather than a pastoral one.

With its sleek appearance, the structure boasts a dark exterior and an abundance of glass to illuminate the interior with the Southern California sun.

Throughout the house, premium materials such as Douglas fir, white oak, natural stone, metal, and glass finishes have been utilized. The ultra-luxurious kitchen features a butler’s pantry and dual islands, accompanied by a home bar, office, personal gym, and screening room.

Elegant features abound in the master suite, including a spacious balcony, walk-in closets, a tremendous double shower, and a Jacuzzi tub.

In the private courtyard, adorned with olive trees and cypress trees, a pool is an obvious addition.

In addition to a cabana, Jacuzzi, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and lounge area, the exterior also includes a spa. Moreover, the property features an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) with its own living space and kitchenette.

In 2019, Hachimura joined the Washingtоn Wizards as the first Japanese national to ever be selected in the first round of the NBA draft. He was named the Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year during his inaugural season. In January 2023, after four seasons with the Wizards, Hachimura was traded to the Lakers.
