Hemsworth Brothers Part With Modern Malibu Getaway

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.

Home to Sir Robert Menzies and Dame Pattie, this grand Melbourne estate is a piece of Australian political history.

It may be a well-worn cliche, but if these walls could talk there would be plenty of state secrets to share. The landmark residence at 8-10 Howard St, Kew was once the private residence of Sir Robert Menzies and Dame Pattie between 1929 and 1949, during the Prime Minster’s first term in the top job. He later held the role again from 1949 to 1966, making him Australia’s longest serving Prime Minister.

Historical land records indicate that the Howard St property was sold to Leonard Clinton Shaw, brother-in-law of Pattie Menzies. Robert and Patti then moved to live into The Lodge in Canberra.

The stately arts and crafts era home was built in the 1910s and has reportedly played host to a long list of dignitaries and VIP guests. As rumour has it, the drawing room of the Kew property is where Menzies crafted his iconic speeches and held many clandestine meetings.

Today the imposing five-bedroom residence, which sits on a vast 1874sq m land parcel in the coveted Studley Park precinct, has come to market through Marshall White agents James Tostevin and Chris Barrett with a price guide of $8.3 million to $8.9 million.

According to CoreLogic, the property last sold in 2018 for $7.75 million.

Beyond the expansive parklike grounds that to pay homage to celebrated Australian landscaper Edna Walling, the two-storey house is packed with meticulously maintained period features.

Showcasing the best of arts and crafts design influences, the home has a charming tuck-point brick façade, a tessellated tile veranda, coloured leadlight glass windows, dark stained wood panelling inside, as well as high decorative ceilings and cornices.

The large foyer divides the lower level into two distinct zones; big formal rooms and more casual family-friendly spaces. Built for entertaining on a grand scale, both the lounge and dining rooms rooms have original fireplaces and open out to either the undercover veranda or enclosed sunroom.

Also on the ground level, a spacious family room with yet another fireplace connects to an everyday meals area, and the contemporary kitchen comes complete with granite surfaces, a Paul Bocuse stove, an integrated Miele dishwasher, a walk-in pantry and wine cellar. A home office, or potential guest bedroom, plus a large laundry and two powder rooms round out the lower level floor plan.

Up via a majestic timber staircase, four big bedrooms have fireplaces and built-in wardrobes, while the primary suite is home to a palatial ensuite and dressing room. This accommodation level also houses two family bathrooms and a rear balcony that overlooks the grounds.

Outdoors there are multiple lifestyle features including a north/south tennis court with lighting, a unique rounds swimming pool and all-weather terraces.

Other features include an alarm, hydronic heating, a 60,000L underground tank, a garden shed, a remote double garage and additional off-street parking.

Located on the old Oakland Estate, the Menzies’ former home is close to popular eateries, Xavier College, St Vincents Private Hospital and golf courses.

 

Expressions of interest close on March 11, at 5pm for 8-10 Howard St, Kew. The home is listed with a price guide of $8.3 million to $8.9 million through agents James Tostevin and Chris Barrett of Marshall White.
