    Pia Zadora’s Former Malibu Beach House Lists for $22 Million

    Robert Redford did. So have Valerie Bertinelli, Pierce Brosnan, and Dustin Hoffman. And now you, too, can live on Malibu‘s “celebrity row.”

    This Cape Cod-style house along Broad Beach, once owned by the ’80s actress and singer Pia Zadora, has been in the hands of the seller for 23 years, but they are now spending more time on the East Coast and have decided to part ways with the beachfront beauty. The gated compound includes a four-bedroom, four-bath main house, plus a one-bedroom guest house that’s perched atop the three-car garage with its own living room and kitchen. Rochelle Maize at Nourmand & Associates holds the $22 million listing. 

    The updated chef’s kitchen includes premium appliances and pops of nautical blue.

    While it occupies a prime piece of West Coast real estate, the home evokes East Coast living, with design cues taken from the architectural vernacular of the Hamptons and Martha’s Vineyard. Beyond the shingled exterior, there are dark-stained wide-plank oak floorboards, beadboard accents, and nautical blue tones throughout, including the bar stools in the recently updated chef’s kitchen. A casual lounge adjoins the kitchen and spills out through French doors to a courtyard garden between the main house and the garage/guesthouse.

    Further in is the dining room, and a few steps down is the spacious living room, where a wall of glass peels open to a covered porch and a large brick terrace with a built-in grill and an alfresco dining setup. Steps away are a built-in spa and a sunken fire pit, giving you two options for staying warm when the coastal fog sets in. From there, a lawn stretches out to a classic white picket fence and a private patch of sand atop a rock revetment that was put in place to slow beach erosion.

    The spacious primary bedroom opens up to an ocean-facing terrace.

    Anthony Barcelo

    Back inside, the ocean-facing primary suite spills onto a terrace spanning the full width of the house, the perfect place for cozying up with a good book or having a cocktail while the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean.

    Broad Beach has long been popular with entertainment industry heavy hitters. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell owned the house right next door (it was later owned by the Imagine Dragons’ frontman Dan Reynolds, who sold it a couple of years ago for $16.7 million), and other Broad Beach residents and homeowners have included Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman, Frank Sinatra, Pierce Brosnan, and Ray Romano.

    ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ Star Shannen Doherty’s Malibu Home Lists for $9.5 Million

    Shannen Doherty’s longtime home nestled within the exclusive Winding Way enclave above Malibu’s Pacific Coast Highway has just hit the market for $19.5 million. The Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed star died last year at age 53 after a lengthy battle with breast cancer, and proceeds from the sale will go to her estate.

    Doherty paid nearly $2.6 million back in 2004 for the contemporary spread, which includes a main home and a separate studio offering a combined total of four bedrooms and five baths in roughly 5,300 square feet.

    A light-filled great room with soaring ceilings and disappearing walls of glass opens out to the backyard.

    Originally built in the 1970s and fully transformed by the actress with an eye toward beautiful and inviting spaces for entertaining, the hedged and gated residence sits amid a one-acre parcel with sweeping coastline views. Doherty fell in love with the property the first time she laid eyes on it, per her close friend and real estate agent Chris Cortazzo of Compass, who holds the listing.

    “It was everything she wanted: a private compound with ocean views, a flat piece of land, a lush hedge for seclusion, and a stunning open floor plan,” he said in a statement. “Shannen cherished a close-knit circle of loved ones, and this home became a sanctuary for her friends and family.”

    The grounds hold multiple vignettes for gathering and relaxing.

    The interiors of the primary dwelling are adorned throughout with wide-plank oak floors, high wood-beam ceilings, and vintage fixtures. Highlights include a spacious great room showcased by a soaring fireplace, iron chandeliers, and collapsible glass walls spilling out to a balcony. A dining area abuts the sky-lit kitchen, which comes with a Wolf range and an expansive eat-in island that seats six.

    Tucked behind reclaimed wood barn doors is an office where Doherty worked on her Let’s Be Clear podcast, while the sumptuous primary suite is decked out with an inviting bath sporting a trough-style sink with dual faucets, a freestanding soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower. The bedroom flows out to a sundeck-encased lap pool and spillover spa, with the grassy, tree-laced grounds hosting tiered gardens with several spots geared to enjoying Malibu’s sunshine and coastal breezes.

    Tom Petty’s Longtime Malibu Estate Could Now Be Yours for $15.5 Million

    If you were hoping to run down that dream of owning a musically pedigreed SoCal home last year and the $19 million price tag was just a little too hefty at the time, don’t back down now. Tom Petty’s longtime main digs nestled within a gated enclave high above Malibu’s Pacific Coast Highway just popped back up for sale with a new ask, and it’s $3.5 million less than before.

    All you need is a cool $15.5 million, and you can happily claim the coveted keys to the legendary musician’s Mediterranean-style estate. Myra Nourmand and Levi Freeman of Nourmand & Associates hold the listing.

    The creamy stucco and terracotta-roof home is accessed via a portico entryway.

    Petty, who passed away in 2017 at age 66, purchased the property in spring 1998 for $3.75 million. Tucked away on nearly three acres near Escondido Beach and Paradise Cove, off a private lane that’s shared with three other homes, the updated 1940s spread includes a main home, a separate guesthouse, and another structure that served as a recording studio—for a total of seven bedrooms and 10 baths in roughly 10,000 square feet.

    The living room’s vaulted wood-beam ceiling is dotted with skylights donning hand-carved covers.

    Pierre Galant

    Standing out within the single-level primary dwelling is a sunken fireside living room, which features skylights embellished with hand-carved covers and French doors opening out to a trellised patio. Other highlights include a 16-seat dining room sequestered behind archways accented with wrought-iron detailing, plus a kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island, a Wolf range, a butler’s pantry, and a breakfast nook.

    Elsewhere is a music room where the rocker liked to perfect his tunes, as well as a bookshelf-lined library, a gym, and a massage room. An inviting primary suite has a fireplace, a private fountain-clad patio, a huge walk-in closet, and a luxe bath equipped with a soaking tub and a Moroccan-tiled steam shower.

    The sports court on the property is ideal for basketball and pickleball.

    Three more en suite guest bedrooms open to a brick courtyard with a sitting area, while the garden-laced grounds host a pool and spillover spa, an alfresco dining terrace with a built-in barbecue, an in-ground fire pit, a lighted sports court, koi ponds, and cascading waterfalls. There’s also a gated parking area out front that can accommodate at least 15 vehicles.

    Petty’s estate also still lays claim to a small bungalow in Pacific Palisades. His oceanfront Malibu cottage quickly sold to Canadian hotel mogul Salim Sayanin in early 2023 for nearly $10.3 million, which was $400,000 over the asking price; and in late 2023, the musician’s widow, Dana York, paid $6.6 million for a revamped 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival-style home in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles.

    Reality TV Titan Mark Burnett Is Asking $350,000 Per Month for His Blufftop Estate in Malibu

    Mark Burnett, the prolific producer behind the hit reality TV shows Survivor, The Voice, Shark Tank, and The Apprentice, has hoisted his beachfront home in Malibu up for rent at a hefty $350,000 per month. The listing, which also requires a $350,000 security deposit, is held by Chris Cortazzo of Compass.

    The 13-time Emmy winner and former chairman of MGM’s Worldwide TV Group purchased the Hamptons-style spread on the rugged bluffs above Paradise Cove from the late talent manager Sandy Gallin in 2005 for $25 million. Two years later, he married Touched by an Angel actress Roma Downey at the property in a ceremony officiated by her co-star and ordained minister Della Reese.

    The cozy fireside family room has a handsome wood wet bar.

    Built in 2004, the two-story home sits directly oceanside and provides sweeping coastline views from a gated parcel spanning just over three acres. Ideal for a large family or someone who enjoys hosting lots of overnight guests, seven bedrooms and 10 baths are filtered across a little more than 7,300 square feet of fully furnished living space boasting wide-planked hardwood floors, high whitewashed beamed and coffered ceilings, skylights, built-in cabinetry, and six fireplaces.

    Among the highlights is a double-height foyer that opens to an elegant living room sporting a wood-burning fireplace and French doors spilling out to a covered terrace stretching the entire length of the house. Adjacent is a family room with a wet bar and a formal dining room that seats 10, while the country-style kitchen is outfitted with Carrera marble countertops, dual islands, and top-tier Miele, Viking, and Wolf appliances, plus a walk-in pantry and breakfast nook.

    A wraparound library mezzanine overlooks the foyer.

    The undeniable star of the show, though, is the picturesque grounds hosting a pool with a pergola-shaded spillover spa, an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and pizza oven, fire pits, and steps that meander their way to the beach below. Rounding it all out is a spacious gravel motor court with parking for up to 10 vehicles, as well as optional on-site security and staff services.

    David Duchovny’s Malibu Home and Train Caboose Guest Cottage Sell for $11 Million

    Less than two months after it first hit the market for $12.5 million, David Duchovny’s longtime home in the coveted Point Dume enclave of Malibu has sold to an unidentified buyer for just under $11 million. And though that’s considerably less than he originally wanted, it’s still around $6.2 million more than the veteran film and TV actor paid Hollywood writer/producer Chris Carter for the landlocked 1950s spread nine years ago, back in spring 2016.

    Since then, the X-Files and Californication star has extensively renovated and expanded the premises. Most notably, he kitted out an existing train caboose where he went on to pen his 2021 novel Truly Like Lightning and record episodes of his Fail Better podcast.

    The living area has an entertainment center and bookshelves encased within a wood surround.

    Resting amid a gated parcel spanning a little more than an acre, the modern wood-sided abode offers three bedrooms and five baths in roughly 3,580 square feet of single-level living space boasting polished cement floors, high ceilings dotted with clerestory windows and skylights, and smart-home systems. Large pivoting glass doors open seamlessly to the outdoors.

    Among the highlights is a spacious great room with living and dining areas, as well as a kitchen sporting custom cabinetry, stone countertops, and top-notch Miele and Fisher & Paykel appliances. The primary suite flaunts a luxe bath with a clawfoot soaking tub and a steam shower, while an office overlooks picturesque grounds hosting a lap pool and a sunken fire pit.

    Rounding it all out is a detached building that currently serves as a gym, along with the caboose-turned-guesthouse that has its own living and sleeping areas, a kitchen, a built-in dining nook, a bath, and a rooftop deck. The property also transfers with a deeded access key to a secluded beach.

    A vintage train caboose at the far end of the estate has been converted into a guest retreat.

    Per Chris Cortazzo of Compass, who handled both sides of the deal, things are picking up as of late in wildfire-ravaged Malibu. “PCH reopened in May, and it’s like a light bulb went off,” he said. “Our entire city center—from Nobu West and beyond—remains intact, and we’re booming right now. We’re seeing strong demand from displaced residents looking for homes. I believe insurance payouts are starting to come through, and rather than waiting to rebuild, many people are turning to Malibu, drawn by the lifestyle we offer.”

    The 64-year-old New York native and two-time Golden Globe-winning actor previously told The Wall Street Journal he decided to sell because his children are grown. Duchovny, who recently launched his Secrets Declassified docuseries on the History Channel, reportedly still owns an apartment in New York and a house in Costa Rica.
