I have this beautiful house in Malibu. I have to pay the mortgage,” he told the paper. “There are definite moments of, oh, this boat is not quite sinking, but [it might] if we don’t get a job soon.” Most read in Showbiz Pierce bought the land for the mansion, which is called Orchid House, in 2000, for just under $7.5m. The innovative eco-friendly nine-bedroom house creates so much energy that it can power the main building, the outdoor pool and the two-storey guest house with enough left over to donate to the local grid. The environment-conscious star was hands on in the design of the home and ensured it was self-sustaining by installing solar panels, energy-saving lights and a low-flow water system to reduce wastage. Its Thai-style design features lots of wooden beams, clean lines and a tropical pool, and is influenced by Pierce’s 1997 Bond film, part of which was filmed in southeast Asia. The home is the perfect place for a new owner to entertain guests on its spacious patio and decked areas overlooking the ocean. They can also be used as serene backdrops for relaxing yoga and meditation sessions too. Its 4,000 square feet boasts plenty of neat features including a 20-person movie theatre, a gym, spa, art studio, two bars and a temperature-controlled wine unit. Comment now
