Josh Duhamel Lists His Los Angeles Home
Josh Duhamel has decided it’s time to sell his home in Los Angeles. The actor, 53, has collaborated with listing agent Thomas Atamian from Coldwell Banker Realty to list his Encino property for $2.9 million.
Atamian remarked on the listing, stating, “It’s rare to find a property that has the perfect combination of dramatic architecture, contemporary updates, and complete privacy. This home captures breathtaking jetliner and mountain views from nearly every angle. It’s an absolutely standout product in a prime location.”
The house, constructed in 1962, spans 3,310 square feet and includes four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, all offering expansive views of the nearby mountains.
The common spaces comprise a great room with lofty ceilings that flows into a chef’s kitchen, featuring a sizable center island. The primary suite was recently renovated and includes two walk-in closets along with a private bathroom. Outside, there’s an outdoor fire pit, a large swimming pool, built-in BBQ facilities, and numerous areas for outdoor dining and relaxation.
Duhamel placed the house on the market after announcing over a year ago his intent to shift from Los Angeles to Minnesota to pursue a quieter, off-the-grid lifestyle in a home he built over 15 years.
“The nearest store is 60 miles away,” he shared. “Once we get there, it’s really all about looking out for one another, making memories, and spending quality time with family and friends.”
He and his wife, Audra Mari, along with their two-year-old son, Shepard, have embraced this new lifestyle. Duhamel occasionally spends time with his 12-year-old son, Axl, from his previous marriage to Fergie. The family welcomed a daughter, Rocca, in May.
The actor mentioned that this lifestyle change allows them to “get back to basics” and escape distractions. He noted with satisfaction that his eldest son isn’t glued to an iPad anymore; rather, he’s actively playing sports and enjoying explorations in nature.
Duhamel also expressed a deeper sentiment, explaining how the lifestyle enables a connection with family and heritage. “It’s really about family. It’s about heritage,” he stated, underlining his desire for his children to carry these experiences forward.
Living off-the-grid has not only helped them reconnect with nature but also brings peace of mind, knowing they have a fallback in case of dire circumstances.
In a previous interview, Duhamel referred to his Minnesota home as a “doomsday cabin” and humorously assessed his preparedness for such situations, saying he was “probably 70% ready” for an apocalypse. He acknowledged he could improve in skills like hunting and fishing.
As he transitions from his Encino property, the realities and joys of this simpler, more meaningful way of living seem to resonate deeply with him and his family.
