Some may wonder, with so many homes in L.A., how do celebrities often end up owning the same addresses? Sally Fields and Olivia Newton-John followed in each other’s footsteps with one home over time, as did Mark Ruffalo and Zooey Deschanel. It’s anyone’s guess, but some reasons could be trust and privacy. If one A-lister owned a property for years, it signals that it is a safe, peaceful (and luxurious!) place to call home.
A property in the Pacific Palisades just hit the market with a similar celebrity tale. Brooke Shields owned it from 1997 to 2022, when she reportedly sold it to famed TV actor and Hallmark movie star, Sam Page, for $7.4 million. Page has had a quicker stint at the hillside post-and-beam farmhouse and is now seeking to pass it on for $8.65 million.
Set behind gates, the home enjoys sweeping mountain and canyon views that make you feel far from the blinding lights of Los Angeles. But, just as pivotal as the location are the organic interiors seemingly designed for tranquility and rejuvenation. A primarily white and neutral color palette blends with stone and wood to foster an easy-going environment that invites the home’s surroundings in. The green of the lush trees is the only color the interiors really need, and it’s always in sight.
The primary suite is arguably the most zen spot, occupying an entire level and decked out for wellness. Its dry sauna, bathroom with a large fireplace, walk-in closet, and den may make you never want to leave. Perhaps one of the reasons Shields wasn’t in a hurry to move on from the abode. Nearby, there are four more bedrooms for family and friends as well.
Wandering outside, you’ll find a pool and hot tub along with many decks for dining al fresco. Who would expect anything less? Plus, a buyer who falls in love with this special retreat has another opportunity to consider. A nearby parcel of land is also available to purchase for $6.35 million, so someone could create a guest house for overflow visitors or just gain more grounds in this sought-after Pacific Palisades location.
