Situated in the exclusive gated enclave of Point Dume, the home aspans nearly an acre and offers both privacy and deeded access to Little Dume Beach.
Duchovny, known for roles in The X-Files and Californication, purchased the property in 2016 for USD $4.75 million (AUD $7.2 million).
People magazine reported he then invested an estimated USD $7 million (AUD $10.6 million) constructing the new primary residence—a sleek, modern 3,580-square-foot home designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Inside, the main house features three bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, with high-end finishes such as polished concrete floors, oversized skylights, and an open-plan living space anchored by a chef’s kitchen.
The kitchen boasts stone benchtops, custom cabinetry, and premium appliances.
One of the property’s standout features is the fully restored train caboose (pictured below), which Duchovny repurposed into a quirky yet functional guest house.
The caboose includes a bedroom, built-in dining nook, bathroom with rainfall shower, and even a rooftop deck. It’s also where Duchovny wrote parts of his 2021 novel Truly Like Lightning and recorded his podcast.
The grounds are equally impressive, featuring a lap pool, Jacuzzi, cold plunge, and outdoor kitchen with Wolfe grill, sunken fire pit, and outdoor shower. Additional structures on the property include a freestanding gym or office space with en-suite bath and covered deck.
The listing is held by Chris Cortazzo of Compass.
