The house, which was featured on the cover of Dwell Magazine only a few short years ago, was listed last year for $11 million. The actor purchased the property in 2015 for $2.86 million and the home construction was completed two years later, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Hidden in the mountains above Beverly Hills, the secluded five-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath dwelling not only boasts stunning canyon views, but also striking modernist appeal. It is easy to see [architect] Ray Kappe’s influence in the home’s long, cantilevered roof lines and prominent use of wood,” Dwell said of the residence after it went on the market in 2020.

“Instead of going entirely modular, the design team crafted a mostly prefabricated L-shaped home with about a third of its footprint built on-site. LivingHomes’ Ray Kappe-designed RK2 model served as a starting point for the highly customized build, which took over two years to complete and emphasizes indoor/outdoor living.”
