Pamela Anderson<\/a> has gone full cottage-core in her native Canada, and she cashed in big to get there.<\/p>\n

The \u201cBaywatch\u201d icon, 59, gave fans a fresh peek at her rambling Vancouver Island estate this week in a video that plays like a slow-living catalog shoot.<\/p>\n

The clip opens with Anderson pulling a cozy sweater over her dress in the sunroom before stepping outside with her dog. She snips a handful of blooms in the yard, then settles in with a dog-eared favorite, \u201cAmor and Psyche: The Psychic Development of the Feminine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve read this book so many times,\u201d she told viewers.<\/p>\n

Tucked between the pages was a small card bearing a reassuring message. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing to worry about,\u201d it read.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrue,\u201d Anderson replied.<\/p>\n

She also showed off her woven garden basket, stocked with pruning shears, her glasses and a jar of moisturizer from Sonsie, her vegan skincare brand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the garden after it\u2019s rained,\u201d she said, before capping the morning with a sunrise stroll down her dock.<\/p>\n

Fans ate it up. \u201cDream life. Pam knows what\u2019s up,\u201d one commenter wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cPamela are you living in a Nora Ephron movie and please can you adopt me and take me here,\u201d another wrote. <\/p>\n

\u201cI like to pretend this is the life Marilyn would have had if she got the chance to grow older \ud83e\udd7a\ud83e\udd72,\u201d another commentator said. <\/p>\n

She starts in the sunroom, throwing a sweater over her dress, then heads outside with her dog to cut flowers in the garden. Instagram<\/p>\n

She sits down with a book she says she has read many times and finds a card inside telling her there\u2019s nothing to worry about, which she agrees with. She also shows off a garden basket holding shears, her glasses and a moisturizer from her vegan Sonsie skincare line, and ends the morning watching the sunrise from her dock. Instagram<\/p>\n

The postcard-worthy spread sits in Ladysmith, British Columbia<\/a>, the small coastal town where Anderson was born. Her grandparents bought the roughly 6-acre parcel in the 1950s, according to the Vancouver Sun, and Anderson bought it from them in the early \u201990s.<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t move back for good until 2019. Today the property holds a main house dubbed \u201cThe Roadhouse,\u201d the cabin where she spent her childhood, rose and vegetable beds, a generous porch and a lengthy private pier.<\/p>\n

Bankrolling the homecoming was a tidy Malibu payday. Anderson paid about $1.8 million for her beachfront lot in 2000 and spent roughly ten years building a house on it. She put the home on the market in March 2021 with Compass agent Tomer Fridman at $14.9 million and closed six months later at $11.8 million.<\/a><\/p>\n

That\u2019s a roughly $10 million spread on the land price alone, before construction costs.<\/p>\n

The property sits in Ladysmith, BC, where Anderson was born, and her grandparents first bought the land in the 1950s before she purchased it from them in the early \u201990s. Instaram<\/p>\n

The Canadian overhaul turned into must-watch TV. Her Hulu series \u201cPamela\u2019s Garden of Eden\u201d follows her exit from Hollywood and her mission to restore the family land her grandmother once held.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I came home, I thought, \u2018I am going to rewrite my life and I\u2019m going to start with this property.\u2019 And it became like an art project. It really took my heart and soul,\u201d she told Today.<\/p>\n

The job came with a side of romance. The project was led by Vancouver designer Francesca Albertazzi, and one of the builders on the crew, Dan Hayhurst, ended up marrying Anderson.\u00a0The pair wed on the property on Christmas Eve 2020, but they split little more than a year later, with Anderson filing for divorce in Canada.<\/p>\n

These days she seems perfectly content flying solo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really happy to spend this year just on my own with my dogs and my vegetables and the trees and the ocean,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Her move home was funded in part by her Malibu house, which she bought as a $1.8 million lot in 2000 and sold for $11.8 million in 2021. The renovation became the Hulu series \u201cPamela\u2019s Garden of Eden,\u201d and one of the builders on the project, Dan Hayhurst, married her on the property in 2020 before the couple split about a year later.

Anderson, who has two sons with Tommy Lee, has described the restoration as a fresh start and says she\u2019s happy living alone with her dogs, her garden and the ocean. She has also said she always knew she would come back to the island because it keeps her grounded. Pamela Anderson\/Instagram<\/p>\n

Anderson, who shares sons Brandon and Dylan with ex-husband Tommy Lee, has said island life was always the endgame.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel more settled on my sustainable ranch on Vancouver Island with space to rescue more animals. It\u2019s still beachfront. One foot away from the water \u2014 and I\u2019m lost,\u201d Anderson previously told The Post <\/a>but added that she would miss her boys who still live in the States.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I was really spoiled. When you grow up on the beach, you just expect it every morning. You expect these mornings,\u201d she told the Vancouver Sun.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always knew that I would come back here. I always knew if I had this place, I would keep a little bit of my sanity and a little bit of my feet on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pamela Anderson has gone full cottage-core in her native Canada, and she cashed in big to get there.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":826791,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[626,6491,96,6738,30665,14773,222931,113746,148598,7522,4655,42864,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-826790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-gardening","tag-gardens","tag-interior-design","tag-luxe-listings","tag-luxury-real-estate","tag-malibu","tag-pamela-anderson","tag-real-estate","tag-residential-real-estate","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/826790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=826790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/826790\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/826791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=826790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=826790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=826790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
