Orlando Bloom is moving on from Malibu. The British actor, who split up with fiancé Katy Perry last summer, just put his longtime Southern California retreat on the market for $12 million. Bloom bought the ocean-facing property in 2011 for $2.5 million, per data from Zillow, back when he was married to model Miranda Kerr. Even though the couple got divorced in 2013, he told the Wall Street Journal that their son, Flynn, spent his early years in the home. Bloom also shares a daughter, Daisy, with Perry.

Located in a gated community near El Matador State Beach, the English actor’s two-story residence dates to the mid-1970s and has four bedrooms across 4,200 square feet. Bloom told WSJ that he undertook extensive renovations totaling more than $5 million during his time as owner, saying it now has a “Japanese feel to it.” Among the updates were opening up the first floor layout to optimize flow and adding a pool to the rear garden, which has views of the Pacific.
The interiors come with wood-beamed ceilings, barn-style doors, industrial pendants, and a jade green kitchen (which is all the rage right now). Other colorful moments include bathrooms in azure blue and butter yellow. Custom furnishings by artist Roy McMakin, who is known for his vibrant murals, are also available for purchase.

In terms of outdoor space, the second floor has a ocean-facing terrace that stretches the entire length of the home. The grounds also feature al fresco dining areas, a wet bar, a barrel sauna, a wooden soaking tub, and a two-car garage.

Bloom told WSJ that he hasn’t lived in the house full time for several years. He rented out the property last year. “It felt like it might be the right time to let it go,” he said.
The house is listed with Chris Cortazzo of Compass.
