Reese Witherspoon’s former Malibu retreat listed for US$9.275 Million

The 1.86-acre coastal compound, now owned by YouTuber Cody Ko, features a mid-century main residence, entertainment barn, and recording studio just minutes from Zuma Beach.

A Malibu property with Hollywood pedigree has returned to the market, with YouTuber and comedian Cody Ko listing the former home of actress Reese Witherspoon for US$9.275 million (approximately AUD$14.5 million).

According to Mansion Global, Cody purchased the Busch Drive compound in 2023 for US$7.7 million (AUD$12 million), and the property has occasionally appeared in the background of his videos, which range from TikTok shorts to full-length podcasts.

The 1.86-acre estate sits just a three-minute walk from Zuma Beach and comprises multiple structures: a mid-century main residence, an entertainment barn with loft bedroom, a permanent mobile home, a recording studio, horse barns, and a four-car garage.

Inside the main home, the interiors lean into cottagecore charm with exposed wood ceilings, patterned wallpaper, coloured tiles, a living room fireplace, and hardwood floors throughout.
