Want to live like a supermodel? Better brace yourself and your wallet because it does not come cheap. Supermodel Cindy Crawford and her businessman husband Rande Gerber have sold their spectacular oceanfront mansion for a reported $45 million – reduced from their original asking price of $60 million, but still one of the most expensive listings in Malibu.
House on the Hill
The 5,254-square-foot, four-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home overlooks the Pacific Ocean and has a number of amazing features, but one of the finest is the privacy it offers – essential for any celeb trying to keep out of the paparazzi’s eye. Situated on a hill, the mansion is set within three acres of natural and manicured grounds and we just can’t say enough about that beach view.
Striking Views
The 3.18-acre beachside estate is located in Malibu’s fashionable, sought-after Encinal Bluffs area and offers stunning, panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. It looks like the celeb couple wanted to take full advantage of relaxing and enjoying the scenery by ensuring there was a wraparound deck, featuring glass railings and comfy lounge seating.
Extensive Renos
Crawford and Gerber bought the house back in February 2015 and did some serious renovating, and the asking price includes all the furnishings in the home – pretty inviting when it comes to the living room, with hardwood floors and wooden tables contrasted with white walls and California chic furnishings.
Custom Kitchen
White contrasts with wood in this bright kitchen illuminated by a bank of windows. The galley-style cooking area is functional and chic, with a.massive exhaust fan in place to suck up the heat from the oversized six-burner gas range, keeping the room cool on those scorching Malibu days.
Open Concept
The home’s open concept allows the expansive kitchen to flow directly to the family room, with sliding glass doors opening to the wrap-around patio.
A Losing Flip?
According to reports, the home sold for $45 million after being on the market for more than a year, with the original asking price of $60 million eventually whittled down to $50 million. If the sale price is accurate, the couple took a $5 million loss, having reportedly purchased the place in 2015 for $50.5 million.
R&R
The massive 5,254-square-foot home features numerous living spaces dedicated to relaxation, with the mid-century modern furnishings adding serious sophistication.
Classic Beach Style
With blonde hardwood flooring and white beamed ceilings, the home evokes the classic look of a Cape Cod beach house, albeit on a far grander scale.
Beachfront Living
This outdoor deck is outfitted with inviting furniture to capitalize on the stunning view. A massive wall of large glass windows and sliding doors ensure you have access to the waterfront lookout.
Bathrooms
Built in 1944, the updated home now has beautiful spa-like bathrooms featuring soaking tubs, vanity tables and large shower stalls to wash off all that beach sand.
Stepping Up
Enjoy the view below while you walk up the circular staircase that spirals to the two bedroom suites on the upper level, each with its own private entrance.

Calming Breeze
