One Direction’s Liam Payne fame bought back the complex in the Santa Monica Mountains near Calabasas for $ 10.75 million.
Nearly five hectares of land were on the market last year for $ 11.2 million, records show.
Tucked behind a gate, this beautiful expanse includes a 9659-square-foot main house, two guesthouses, a teahouse, and a mosaic-floored swimming pool. Lime terraces, koi ponds, organic gardens and small vineyards fill the land.
The main house is in Spanish style, although it was built in 1991, full of Old World details. Noteworthy are five fireplaces with carved limestone coats, hand-carved walnut floors, beamed ceilings and special pendants. The dramatic wood paneled library draws the eye upward with two built-in levels. Rows of lazy chairs filled the theater space.
The property was previously owned by the late Alan Purwin, an air film operator and entrepreneur who worked on more than 100 films, including the “Transformers”, “Armageddon” (1998) and “Pearl Harbor” (2001) series.
Payne, 26, bought the property five years ago for $ 10 million, records show.
The English singer and songwriter was involved in a number of hits as part of One Direction, including “What Makes You Beautiful,” “Live While We Young, Young” and “Story of My Life.” The supergroup, which was formed after musicians and band members appeared separately on “The X Factor,” went on a hiatus in 2016 and folded the tour company the following year.
Since then, Payne appeared by itself, releasing a long album in 2018 and her debut solo album, “LP1,” last year.
