Orlando Bloom is selling his Malibu beach house, and the asking price is $12 million. The actor bought the property in 2011 with then-wife Miranda Kerr, and the place has family history. Their son Flynn spent his early years here.
The property at a glance
The house measures 4,180 square feet and sits above El Matador State Beach. It has four bedrooms and five bathrooms, an outdoor pool with ocean views, and private beach access. The residence is inside a gated community, which adds another layer of privacy.
What changed since 2011
Bloom paid about $2.5 million for the home in 2011. Since then he has invested heavily in renovations. He told reporters the upgrades cost more than twice what he originally paid. The ground floor was completely reworked to create an open kitchen and living area, with colorful tiles and bright cabinets. The outdoor pool and much of the ocean-facing landscaping were part of the renovation work as well.
Why he is selling
Bloom told The Wall Street Journal that now is "the right time to let it go." He also acknowledged he has not lived in the house for several years, and has settled further north in California.
Listing details and presentation
The home is listed with Compass. Agent Chris Cortazzo described the property as offering a strong sense of sanctuary for future owners. Photos of the interior show the remodeled open plan and the ocean panorama from the pool area.
