Larry David’s Hobbit-like home for sale: $15M

TRULIA

David's Pacific Palisades compound has ocean views, a pool house, seven bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and multiple fireplaces.

Funnyman Larry David lives like a Hobbit, and now you can too. It’ll cost $ 15 million, though. That’s how much David’s Pacific Palisades gated estate will cost, or $ 14.999 million to be exact.

Just put on the market, the compound has ocean views, a pool house, seven bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and multiple fireplaces, some shaped in half-moon arches.

The “Seinfeld” co-creator and who became a star in his own hit series “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” likes the country motif. The houses on the property are stone, wood beams support most of the interior ceilings and a pool house looks like it could house Bilbo Baggins.

The listing, held by Santiago Arana of Partner’s Trust, describes the property as a “Fairytale home.” We agree. The master suite has a large deck with views stretching across the Pacific Ocean, the pier at Santa Monica, and the planes coming in to Los Angeles International Airport.

The home has a gym, pool, playroom, and office. With oak trees, a charming guest house with fireplace, and stone floor in a pool house with a ship-shaped barn roof, the manicured grounds and smaller structures are as pretty as the Shire. There are even cast-iron statues scattered about.

David, who divorced his wife Laurie in 2007, also has a 17-acre estate in Martha’s Vineyard and an apartment in New York. According to realestalker.com, it is unclear who owns the Palisades estate. Trulia.com dates the main house’s original construction to 1950.

Neither David nor listing broker Arana were available for comment. The home is located in the Huntington Palisades section of the Los Angeles area, about a 30 minute drive to the famous Sunset Drive and closer to the surfing waves of Malibu.
