Chris Hemsworth and brothers Liam and Luke put their stunning Malibu house on the market
After feeling ‘suffocated’ by his Hollywood career five years ago, Chris Hemsworth and his family have settled into Aussie life – and now made a move that could net them a $2m profit.
The Hemsworths look to be making Byron Bay their permanent home base, after deciding to put their Malibu house up for sale, which could score them a $2 million profit in the process.
Five years ago, Chris Hemsworth had said to be feeling ‘suffocated’ by his Hollywood career, when they officially moved their family from Los Angeles to Byron Bay and began building their dream home – a whopping $20 million mega-mansion in Broken Head.

Around that time, Chris, wife Elsa Pataky – along with Chris’ two brothers, Liam and Luke – forked out $4.7 million (US$3.45 million) for a secluded house in Malibu, California – where they could stay at when in LA for work and industry events, Variety reports.
But now it appears the Hemsworth brothers have made the decision to vacate the USA, by putting the stunning home on the market for $6.7 million (US $4.9 million), $2 million more than they paid for it four years ago.
The architectural modern abode, which sits on more than 5050 sqm of land, offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Monica Mountains, and nearby horse stables.
Entry to the home is via a sunken courtyard garden, opening onto a light-filled open living area with high ceilings and polished concrete floors.
A modern fireplace is the centrepiece of the open kitchen and dining areas, complete with a huge TV mounted above it.

Just off the kitchen sits an expansive dining area with a built-in barbecue and cushioned seating around a bowl-shaped fire pit – that sits on an elevated perch, which is perfect to take in the sweeping mountain views.
Out back behind the dining deck there is a sauna, along with gardens that lead to a nice backyard, and a wine cellar.
Inside, the house comes with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and also boasts a spacious media room, a chef’s kitchen.

Hemsworth and Pataky have previously owned a larger house in the same area that they bought for US$4.8 million from fellow Aussie movie star Paul Hogan, which they then sold in 2016 for US$7 million.
It isn’t known if Chris’ eldest brother Luke, best known for roles on “Neighbours” and the sci-fi hit series “Westworld,” owns any other property in Los Angeles.
However, youngest brother Liam, star of the “Hunger Games” franchise, still owns a nearby property in Malibu that he bought in 2014, while he was with now ex-fiancee Miley Cyrus, for a bit more than $6.8 million.
Unfortunately, the house that stood on the property burned to the ground in a fire in 2018. Liam also has recently revealed that he is building a home near brother Chris in Byron Bay.
Chris Hemsworth was one of the highest paid actors in the world last year, earning an eye-popping $104.4 million (US$76.4 million) in 2019.
For now it appears the Hemsworth clan will make Broken Head their full-time home, as they settle into their now completed sprawling $20 million mega-mansion.
