As he takes over one of the world’s largest media companies, Disney’s new CEO, Bob Chapek, is also looking to move out of his old home.

His residence in Camarillo, CA, is now on the market for $3.49 million. Even with his recent elevation to the top spot at the Mouse House, Chapek, 60, appears to be in no rush to sell. The home has been on the market for a little over a year.

The new CEO has worked for Disney for 27 years and will replace its longtime chief, Bob Iger, who will take on the role of executive chairman. He’s the seventh CEO of the enormous conglomerate, with divisions including theme parks, movies, television networks, and merchandise.

Not known as a red carpet presence, the man at the helm of major studio names like Marvel and Pixar resides “in the outskirts of Los Angeles, far from the fashionable Brentwood and Pacific Palisades neighborhoods, where most power players reside,” the New York Times noted. The home is more than 40 miles west of Disney’s headquarters in Burbank, which is quite a commute, given the notoriously congested Southern California freeways.

Of course, with a new title and his old home on the market, the executive may very well be considering a move into a neighborhood closer to the Hollywood power players.

The digs being sold by the new Disney leader are located in an under-the-radar area way out in Ventura County. It’s a relaxing retreat with plenty of space, both indoors and out. 

The home is just one of “only 25 custom and equestrian estates in the 387-acre community,” notes listing agent Erin Pohl. She and Bob Pearson, both with Coldwell Banker Realty-Westlake Village Regional, hold the listing.

“All properties are zoned equestrian, and trails meander throughout the community, connecting to the larger Santa Rosa Valley trail system,” Pohl adds. Chapek’s home is located “at the peak of the community, with stunning views of the surrounding hills and valleys—including the Reagan Library.”

Located in the gated and exclusive Lexington Hills Development, the massive, 6,088-square-foot mansion features six bedrooms and 6.5 baths on just over 20 acres.

Built in 1999, the Italian Renaissance-style estate features an Old World look, and includes gracious terraces, covered loggias, and patios. 

Outside, the grounds include an extensive array of amenities, beginning with an infinity-edge pool, spa, and slide. In addition to a spacious outdoor lounge, and dining and kitchen areas, there’s a vegetable garden and fruit trees, a covered greenhouse, and a viewing deck.

Inside, the great room is the central hub, featuring a kitchen with granite slab counters, a bar, wine cellar, and pantry. High-end appliances include Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele. Adjacent to the kitchen is a morning room.

In addition, the layout includes a formal living room, dining room, and screening room. The owner’s suite includes a sitting area, and an outdoor private spa with views. The en suite bath comes with travertine flooring and a soaking tub. Other spaces include a gym, laundry room, and four-car garage.

Chapek and his wife also have a home right on the beach in Oxnard, CA. Chapek joined Disney in 1993, and before his recent promotion, he served as the chairman of Disney’s Parks, Experiences, and Products.
