Pierce Brosnan Is Leaving His Malibu Home After 26 Years Over Safety Concerns
Pierce Brosnan and his wife Keely Shaye Smith are leaving their longtime Malibu home after more than two decades, with safety concerns reportedly influencing the decision.
The couple’s roughly $100 million beachfront estate has been their home for 26 years, but reports say they now plan to permanently relocate from the property.
The decision has attracted attention because the property is not simply a celebrity residence. Brosnan and Smith spent years building the estate into a highly personalized home known as the Orchid House.
Why They Are Leaving
Safety concerns are reportedly central to the move.
The Malibu property faces risks associated with wildfires and earthquakes, while the couple has also experienced a serious fire at the estate in the past.
In 2015, a garage fire reportedly caused around $1 million in damage.
The couple now plans to spend more time at their residence in Kauai, Hawaii.
Inside the Malibu Estate
Brosnan and Smith purchased the land in 2000 and spent about a decade developing the property.
The resulting estate covers approximately 12,500 square feet and includes a private screening room, painting studio, gym, recording studio, spa and outdoor saltwater pool.
The home’s design was inspired by the couple’s travels, particularly their experiences in Thailand.
The property has also been listed for sale multiple times, including in 2021.
Why It Is Trending
The story combines celebrity, luxury real estate and a broader issue facing Malibu homeowners: environmental and natural-disaster risks.
Brosnan’s decision is particularly striking because the property has been part of his family’s life for more than two decades.
Rather than simply being another celebrity real-estate transaction, the move is being framed around safety and lifestyle.
What Happens Next
Brosnan and Smith are expected to relocate their primary focus to their Hawaii property.
The Malibu estate could eventually return to the market, although the couple’s current decision appears to be about leaving the residence rather than simply conducting another speculative sale.
