Anthony Hopkinsis looking to part ways with his picturesque California home.
The Oscar-winning actor, 82, recently put his 4,000-square-foot cliffside Malibu estate on the market for $11.5 million. The home, which boasts views overlooking the ocean between Zuma Beach and Point Dume, was miraculously left untouched during the2018 Woolsey wildfirethat devastated much of the area.
According to theLos Angeles Times, the Woolsey fire destroyed 670 structures in Malibu, with an estimated $1.6 billion in market value homes lost.
Built in the 1950s, Hopkins' home features five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a large living room and a pair of fireplaces. It’s listed withSantiago Aranaof The Agency.

In 2011, Hopkins told PEOPLE about his painting work as he sat in his studio on the Malibu clifftop, listening to Janis Joplin and prepping his palette of oil paints.
“I come from a country where everything is gray,” the Welsh-born actor said at the time. “I came out here in 1973 and loved the color. I thought I was in paradise. Still do.”
“If I am working with actors and I like them, I will give them a painting,” he said. “I just say, ‘Please don’t sell them on eBay.'”
