Kim and Kanye have a new krib.


The pop culture power couple is now in escrow on a jaw-dropping $20 million estate in the same ultra-private gated community that Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner calls home, E! News reported Wednesday.


The estate chosen by newlyweds Kim Kardashian, 33, and music mogul Kanye West, 37, sits on three lushly landscaped acres and boasts two pools, two spas and its own professional vineyard.


Formerly owned by Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie Presley, the stunning French country-style property has massive wood gates that open to a circular motor court ready for a collection of pricey cars.


The 15,667-square foot house includes a gourmet kitchen, eight bedrooms, separate his and hers bathrooms in the master suite, a spacious gym, an indoor movie theater and eight fireplaces, according to its listing on Zillow.com.

The purchase comes after the jet-setting stars snapped up another southern California house that was supposed to be their marital manse but remains empty due to a prolonged renovation.


"They wanted more land than the Bel-Air home, so they are flipping that," an unidentified source told E. "They will sell that and move into Hidden Hills."


The newer house, previously listed at $21.9 million, is in a more exclusive enclave with only a few hundred homes and miles of hiking and equestrian trails accessible only through three heavily fortified gates.


"It is way more private and secure," the source told E!

And the new house is move-in ready with a "smart home" system that controls music, lighting, climate and TV, the Zillow listing said.


"They are such perfectionists that staying up-to-date with the latest appliances and home systems, etc., has been exhausting for them," an unidentified source previously told E, referring to the Bel-Air renovation project.


"They might just finish the (Bel-Air) house enough to get it on the market without trying to make it their perfect home," the insider said. "They have no interest in becoming professional 'flippers' but rather have found the entire process exhausting."
