Famed L.A. Dodger Owner Peter O’Malley Lists Home For $85MM

Tucked away in the coastal beauty of Malibu’s prestigious Paradise Cove lies an estate steeped in history and luxury, now poised to enchant a new owner with its charms. Formerly under the guardianship of Peter O’Malley, renowned for his stewardship of the Los Angeles Dodgers, this haven is a testament to refined living with an asking price of $85 million.

Nestled atop a 2.5-acre bluff, the property boasts direct access to the pristine sands of Paradise Cove, offering a private retreat reminiscent of a Mediterranean paradise. Surrounded by opulence, it neighbors the illustrious estates of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, as well as the tech magnate Marc Andreessen, adding to the exclusivity of the surrounding neighborhood.

O’Malley’s ownership of this estate dates back to the turn of the millennium when he acquired it from Felisa Vanoff, widow of television luminary Nick Vanoff. A storied past reveals its former occupancy by Edgar Bronfman Jr. The centerpiece of the estate is a majestic four-bedroom residence spanning 8,500 square feet, but according to Westside Estate Agency, a one-bedroom guesthouse is just another added benefit.

Approaching the estate, guests are greeted by a majestic driveway adorned with over 100 olive trees, hinting at the serenity that awaits within. A grand swimming pool, tennis court, and a meandering path leading to the beach beckon residents to indulge in leisure and relaxation. Inside the main house, rustic charm meets modern luxury, with exposed wood beams and stone fireplaces, paying homage to its Greek-inspired origins.

O’Malley’s ties to the Dodgers bring a rich sporting legacy to the estate, reflecting a family deeply intertwined with American baseball. However, amidst its grandeur, there’s a personal journey of adaptation as O’Malley moves forward after the loss of his wife, Annette O’Malley, last year.

As the property hits the market, listing agent Kurt Rappaport emphasizes its rarity in a competitive environment. With Malibu’s enduring appeal and limited inventory, this estate represents one of the few remaining prized properties in Paradise Cove, inviting serious buyers to experience coastal living at its finest.
