Orlando Bloom, the English actor known for his roles in the "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchises, has listed his longtime Malibu retreat for $12 million. Bloom purchased the 4,200-square-foot, four-bedroom home in 2011 for $2.5 million and has since undertaken extensive renovations totaling over $5 million, giving the residence a "Japanese feel" with features like wood-beamed ceilings, barn-style doors, and a jade green kitchen.

Why it matters

Bloom's decision to sell the Malibu property comes after his split from fiancée Katy Perry last summer. The home, located in a gated community near El Matador State Beach, has been a long-time personal retreat for the actor, who said his son Flynn spent his early years there.

The details

Bloom's two-story Malibu home dates back to the mid-1970s and features updates such as an open first-floor layout, a new pool in the rear garden, and custom furnishings by artist Roy McMakin. The interiors also include wood-beamed ceilings, barn-style doors, industrial pendants, and colorful bathrooms in azure blue and butter yellow. The second-floor terrace stretches the entire length of the home, offering views of the Pacific Ocean, while the grounds feature al fresco dining areas, a wet bar, a barrel sauna, and a wooden soaking tub.

  • Bloom purchased the property in 2011 for $2.5 million.
  • Bloom and his ex-wife Miranda Kerr divorced in 2013, but their son Flynn spent his early years in the Malibu home.
  • Bloom split from his fiancée Katy Perry in the summer of 2025.
  • Bloom is now listing the home for $12 million in 2026.
