Michael Eisner has listed his Malibu house for sale at $225 million. The deal might set a record for the costliest home ever sold in California if it finds a buyer.

The property is spread over five acres and spans around 25,000 square feet. It has 16 bedrooms and 28 bathrooms.

The house was designed by architect Robert A.M. Stern, and the listing images show airy interiors with beamed ceilings, large windows opening to the outdoors, and a neutral-tone cabana sitting on the beach.

The house has a gym and a pool facing the Pacific. A tunnel from the pool area leads to a movie theater with a big screen and a few rows of plush seating. Eisner and his wife purchased the house in 1990s, and the compound was built in the last few decades, with the work wrapped up in 2020.

According to listing agent Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency, the current price is warranted. Moreover, items built by Eisner would be challenging to recreate in a large scale, prized location and access to the beach. Rappaport stated that Eisner wants to sell the property since he loves the creative process and is seeking his next project.
