\u201cRole Models\u201d actor Seann William Scott is preparing to part ways with his longtime Malibu estate after overseeing an extensive renovation of the property \u2014 which he has now listed for $17.5 million (AUD $25 million), more than four times the price he purchased it for 22 years ago.<\/p>\n
The 49-year-old comedic actor, who is perhaps best known for his role as Steve Stifler in the hit \u201cAmerican Pie\u201d franchise, snapped up the idyllic 1.45-acre Malibu Park estate for $3.95 million (AUD $5.62 million) in 2004, five years after the first movie in that series was released.<\/p>\n
In the years since, his career has continued to flourish, while his home has also undergone a dramatic evolution that saw Scott updating many of the living areas, as well as the kitchen, which is now outfitted with \u201cbespoke cabinetry and a large centre island.\u201d<\/p>\n
Known as the Vanaya House, the property, which is listed with Sam Plouchart of Christie\u2019s International Real Estate Southern California, is described as a \u201crare expression of quiet luxury \u2014 where architecture, landscape, and nature exist in perfect harmony.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perched on a hilltop overlooking the ocean and the iconic Zuma Beach, the 4,000-square-foot main residence offers unobstructed views of the water, which are beautifully framed by floor-to-ceiling windows.<\/p>\n

Those windows also help to blur the lines between the indoors and out \u2014 giving the property a natural feel that is further emphasised by the use of wood throughout the design.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really one of those magical properties,\u201d Plouchart tells Realtor.com\u00ae. \u201cThe solid wood and glass is reminiscent of a home in the South of France, one you would find in the hills of St. Tropez or Juan-les-Pins with the ampleness and the mature greenery, the sunsets, the peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
With five bedrooms and five bathrooms, the property boasts ample space for large families \u2014 or for those seeking a private beach sanctuary where they can entertain friends and loved ones.<\/p>\n
Each bedroom is carefully designed to maximise privacy, with each offering stunning views of the ocean. The primary suite is one of a kind, featuring a spa-inspired bath, a freestanding soaking tub, a glass-enclosed shower, and a custom floating vanity, all accompanied by a terrace overlooking the garden.<\/p>\n
Set at the end of a long, winding drive, the property offers an impeccable level of privacy, with the listing noting that it is ideal for those who wish to enjoy \u201ca slower, more intentional way of living.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the gates quietly open, a gravel drive winds through mature specimen trees and curated gardens, culminating at a magnificent coral tree whose sculptural canopy anchors the circular motor court and creates a grand arrival,\u201d it notes.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cThe approach unfolds gradually, revealing the home with a sense of anticipation that is both cinematic and unforgettable.\u201d<\/p>\n
The home, which was built in 1980, was always meant to serve as a relaxing sanctuary, having been inspired by Balinese architecture. However, it now offers a laid-back California feel thanks to the work that Scott has carried out during his ownership of the dwelling.<\/p>\n
\u201cInspired by Balinese architecture and thoughtfully reimagined through a distinctly Californian lens, the residence celebrates natural materials, soaring timber ceilings, expansive walls of glass, and raw, textured stone,\u201d the listing description notes.<\/p>\n
\u201cA carefully curated palette of wood, stone, water, and light blurs the boundaries between indoors and out, creating an atmosphere of serenity and effortless connection to the landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n
Outside of the main residence, the grounds of the property are just as attention-grabbing, featuring a spread of entertaining spaces, including covered patios and open-air lounges, all of which offer staggering coastline views.<\/p>\n
There is also a sizeable swimming pool overlooking a fenced, lit tennis court, as well as a serene pond with a charming bridge pathway running over it.<\/p>\n
\u201cDesigned as much for restoration as for entertaining, the grounds are a private sanctuary,\u201d the listing notes. \u201cA resort-style pool, tranquil lily ponds, meandering pathways, shaded terraces, and a full-size tennis court create moments of both recreation and quiet reflection, where the sounds of nature replace the pace of everyday life.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Scott has used the residence as a private dwelling for many years, Plouchart notes that it could easily serve as a multigenerational vacation retreat \u2014 or even as a home base for a tennis star seeking their own piece of paradise by the water.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe buyer can be an L.A. family who wants to enjoy a very special weekend home, a European buyer who will be sensitive to the architecture and the nature, or a professional tennis player who wants to live in L.A.,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

While it is unclear exactly why Scott has decided to let go of the home, it is now the second California property of his currently on the market \u2014 joining a charming Venice, CA, retreat that he first listed for just under $5 million (AUD $7.11 million) in February 2024.<\/p>\n
In the years since, it has undergone multiple price cuts, most recently returning to the market on July 7, when it was listed for the lower price of $4.5 million (AUD $6.4 million).<\/p>\n
The Venice compound, which was built in 2004 by Los Angeles-based architect Kevin Mulcahy and which Scott purchased in 2017 for $2.2 million (AUD $3.13 million), spans 4,600 square feet. <\/p>\n
The two buildings were inspired by light, the environment, and a minimalist palette. Located near the ocean, the first home is a 1,300-square-foot bungalow with two bedrooms and a streamlined gallery kitchen featuring Caesarstone counters and Miele appliances.<\/p>\n
The build also has an attractive, built-in banquette in the living room, a front deck, and charming outdoor seating areas.<\/p>\n
The tri-level main residence, a 3,300-square-foot building, is made entirely of steel, concrete, and glass. The ground floor features an open great room with a wood-panelled ceiling and a wall of bi-fold glass doors, which open to a landscaped conversation area.<\/p>\n
On the second floor, a generous dining space and an open kitchen with marble surfaces, warm-wood cabinetry, and one of the building\u2019s original steel trusses await. The layout includes a sitting room and an office space that could also be used as an additional bedroom.<\/p>\n
The third floor is home to three bedrooms, all connected by a glass-floored catwalk. The primary suite boasts a glass wall and a Zen-inspired bathroom with a wet room that includes a shower and a soaking tub.<\/p>\n
The compound comes with a three-car garage, two ipe wood decks, several outdoor seating areas, and drought-resistant landscaping that abounds with leafy hedges and mature trees.<\/p>\n
Scott currently stars in the sitcom series \u201cShifting Gears,\u201d which was recently renewed for a third season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
