David Duchovny Unloads Malibu Point Dume Estate for $11M: Inside the Luxe Details
Behold, Hollywood’s enduring love affair with beachfront real estate unfolds yet again as David Duchovny ditches his Malibu fortress for a cool $11 million. The ‘X-Files’ lead announced his move by quietly agreeing to drop the ultra-modern Point Dume pad from a $12.5 million ask—that’s a seven-figure markdown that might sting more than a close encounter of the third kind. TMZ confirmed the deal closed late last month, and real estate whiz Christopher Cortazzo of Compass represented both sides of this low-key blockbuster transaction. Duchovny, who called the ocean-facing retreat home for two decades, apparently decided he’d rather chase new adventures than bask in that dinnertime view every night.
The 3,577-square-foot estate spans an acre of impeccably landscaped grounds, complete with a lap pool that runs the length of the house and spa amenities even a Vulcan would envy. A built-in Jacuzzi, cold plunge pool, and an outdoor shower all hide in the manicured foliage, just in case you crave a polar plunge between boardroom calls. If you find yourself scoffing at this level of luxury, congratulations—you’ve officially become that annoying friend who judges people for having too much money.
Inside, skylights flood the main living area with sunshine (and the occasional chance to spot UFOs while you’re sipping your $200 artisan coffee). Three bedrooms feature white oak floors, ensuite baths, and those kind of custom-made details that scream, “No, we don’t do IKEA.” The kitchen takes center stage with stone countertops, bespoke cabinetry, and a Miele five-burner range so premium it might as well beam ingredients into existence. Just imagine hosting a dinner party here—humans, extraterrestrials, or that one neighbor who always asks to borrow sugar.
As if spa pools and gourmet kitchens weren’t enough, Duchovny’s backyard hides a relocated train caboose turned guest suite or home office, complete with its own skylit shower. It’s proof that when you have too much yard, you apparently think, “Why not park a railroad car here?” Exclusive beach-key access and ample parking round out the package for anyone who enjoys being pampered or simply needs somewhere to stash seventeen cars.
In true Malibu fashion, this sale was orchestrated smoothly by Compass, with Cortazzo navigating both sides of the deal like a seasoned negotiator. The only thing missing now is an alien autopsy lab—though given Duchovny’s sci-fi pedigree, never say never. Stay tuned: who knows which A-lister will next wager their slice of paradise for big cash and even bigger dreams. Tune in next time for another master class in celebrity real estate decisions.
