Coastal Cowboy Kid Rock Loses $2.1M with $9.1M Sale of Malibu Mansion

Kid Rock has sold his estate in Point Dume at a more than 20% loss; the musician paid $11.6 million for the property in 2006, and recently let it go for $9.5 million.

The home had been on and off the market for a little less than four years, and was initially listed by the pastiche rocker at $13.45 million in late 2013. But the sprawling, Bali-inspired house lingered on the market at that price, and suffered a series of price cuts before finally re-entering the market three months ago asking a little less than $11 million.

The property represents a little over an acre and a half of land, a not-inconsiderable lot size in Point Dume. It’s quite a narrow little spit of land, though, and appears a little awkward, which may be one reason it was perceived as wildly overpriced.

The main residence measures about 8,300 square feet, with five bedrooms and five baths throughout. It’s distinguished by a lot of gloss hardwood, and tropical ceiling design: open-trussed, tongue-in-groove, vaulted, and high-gloss plank.

The house features abundant interior/exterior flow, and a pretty eclectic casual interior design. The kitchen is commercial-inspired, and the layout is very open. Some highly stylized carved wood sets the proper mood, and aligns the house more forcefully with its design origins.

A guest house nestled on the opposite end of the property, and features a bedroom which opens broadly onto the property via sliding glass. It features a second-floor deck, and carries over the pleasant airiness of the main house.

Kid Rock—born Robert James Ritchie—blends roots, rap, blues, country and rock influences. His 2015 release ‘First Kiss’ sold well; Ritchie supported the 1970’s-inspired album with a tour teaming his act with 1970’s hit machine Foreigner.
