Orlando Bloom is looking to part ways with his longtime Malibu perch, quietly floating his bluff-top home on the market for $12 million. The ocean-facing four-bedroom, which has been his primary residence for more than a decade, sits just above El Matador State Beach and features a renovated open-plan layout plus a pool that stares straight out at the Pacific.
The listing, handled through Compass, names veteran agent Chris Cortazzo and includes custom finishes along with furniture that can be wrapped into the deal. As detailed by The New York Post, the house dates to the 1970s, sits on less than half an acre, and was heavily remodeled to lean into indoor-outdoor living.
Listing Agent And Local Context
The property is being handled by Chris Cortazzo of Compass, a longtime Malibu specialist, according to Redfin. Cortazzo also features in the Los Angeles Business Journal, a reminder that this is not exactly a low-key neighborhood sale. This is the kind of brokerage firepower that tends to follow oceanfront money.
Backstory And Price
Bloom and then-wife Miranda Kerr picked up the property for about $2.5 million around 2011, and renovations later ran to more than twice that purchase price. The actor rented the home in 2025, testing life without the bluff, and told The New York Post that “it felt like it might be the right time to let it go.” Interior work was overseen by designer Roy McMakin, per the same report.
What This Means For Malibu
Oceanfront homes in Malibu rarely come cheap, and a celebrity name on the mailbox tends to crank up interest among buyers chasing privacy, views, or both. Cortazzo has told the Los Angeles Business Journal he sees pockets of growth in the luxury coastal segment, a signal that remodeled blufftop properties are still being used to test just how far buyers will stretch in the Los Angeles coastal market.
Bloom’s $12 million ask now becomes a litmus test for how the market values a compact but upgraded oceanfront parcel with turnkey finishes and furnishings folded into the offer. Whatever the final number, the sale will close the book on a home that has quietly sat in Bloom’s public story for more than ten years.
