The Hemsworth brothers have sold off a modern Malibu home they owned together for approx. $6.3 million, Mansion Global has learned.
The four-bedroom white-stucco home is located at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains. The three brothers and actors— Liam, 30, Chris, 37, and Luke, 40—owned the property together, as a peaceful vacation spot, according to information from the listing agency.
From its inland perch, the contemporary hacienda-inspired house overlooks both the mountains and the Pacific Ocean and has access to nearby horse stables, according to the listing with Eric Haskell of The Agency.
The deal is so fresh it has yet to log in public property records, and little is known about the buyer, except that they were represented by agents Chris Cortazzo and Susan Saul of Compass.
The Hemsworths bought the property through a trust in 2016 for $3.45 million, according to property records. They listed the home in September for $6.3 million.
Amenities, befitting a triple threat of Hollywood heartthrobs, include a home theatre that could be repurposed into a family room, according to the listing. There’s also a 750-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar and an open kitchen with restaurant-grade appliances and quartz countertops.

While the 427sqm home boasts a modern open floor plan, floor-to-ceiling sliders in the kitchen can separate it from the dining room in a pinch. Other contemporary design details include polished concrete floors, marble bathroom finishes and tall walls suited for displaying artwork, according to the listing.
Outside, an outdoor dining area boasts dramatic views across the 1.3-acre property and over the mountains, images show.
The brothers have been riding out the pandemic in their native Australia, and have traded in their Malibu retreat in favour of New South Wales’ sunny surf spot Byron Bay, where the Hemsworths have reportedly purchased multiple properties.

Owned by Richard Outten, who’s penned screenplays for films including “Pet Sematary Two” and “Lionheart,” this is only the third time the home has been on the market
A Mid-Century Modern home in Carmel, California, hit the market on Friday for just the third time in 70 years with a listing price of $4.25 million.
Located in the community of Carmel Highlands, the house is just steps from the coastline and comes with private beach access, according to the listing with Tim Allen of Coldwell Banker Realty in Northern California. Allen was not immediately available for comment.
The property last changed hands in 2010 when Hollywood screenwriter Richard Outten bought it for $990,000, public records show. Outten penned the screenplays for the 1992 movie “Pet Sematary Two” and the 1987 film “Lionheart,” and created the story for the 2012 “Journey to the Center of the Earth” sequel, “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.” He was not immediately available for comment.
Built in 1953, the home’s mid-century charm has been preserved over the years while still being updated for modern living. Interior details include wood paneling, exposed-brick walls and beamed ceilings.
The single-level house has 1,785 square feet, which includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Though not directly on the water, large windows flanking the adobe-brick, wood-burning fireplace look out at the ocean.
Sliding glass doors create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Outside, there’s a large patio surrounded by lush landscaping, and there are also meandering paths through sustainable succulent gardens, according to the listing.
In addition to its close proximity to the beach, the home is a 10-minute walk from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.
As of July, the median list price in Carmel is $3.1 million, up 8% from last year, even as active listings have increased 50% year over year, according to data from Realtor.com.
