Dr. Dre has gone shopping in Calabasas, buying a custom home in a gated community for $4.9 million.

The Mediterranean-style estate, which dates to 1997, has close to 9,400 square feet of living space, a game room, a snazzy home theater and a potential work space for the hip-hop mogul: an acoustically engineered studio/office. A total of six bedrooms and 5.75 bathrooms includes a large master suite with a fireplace.

The three-quarter-acre lot contains grassy fields, a free-form swimming pool and spa, a fire pit and a barbecue center. Elsewhere in the grounds is a lighted and fenced tennis/sports court.

Marc and Sara Shevin of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties were the listing agents, according to the Multiple Listing Service. James Cavanah of BrokerInTrust represented Dre, who made the purchase through a trust.
