Shannen Doherty’s Longtime Malibu Home Is Coming on the Market

A year after her death, Shannen Doherty’s longtime home in Malibu, Calif., is coming on the market for $9.45 million.

The “Beverly Hills, 90210” actress, who documented her battle with breast cancer on social media, died from the illness at age 53 in July 2024.

Doherty bought the Malibu home in 2004 for $2.56 million, property records show. Sitting on about an acre of land, the five-bedroom, roughly 5,400-square-foot house has a lap pool and ocean views, according to listing agent Chris Cortazzo of Compass, a close friend of Doherty’s and the executor of her estate. Since the divorced actress had no children, the proceeds of the sale will go to her mother, Rosa Doherty, he said.

The property has a great room with open-plan sitting and dining spaces.

The home has an outdoor lap pool.

The hillside property is at the end of a long driveway between Malibu Pier and Point Dume. Doherty initially fell in love with the property’s privacy, according to Cortazzo. “When you’re a notable figure, your home becomes your sanctuary,” he said.

Doherty, who was finalizing her divorce at the time of her death, put significant work into the property over the years, revamping it after it was damaged by smoke in 2018’s Woolsey Fire, said Cortazzo. She filled the house with objects and furnishings she found during her travels around the world, such as rugs that she saw handwoven in Peru, he said.

Doherty regularly entertained her “very close, intimate circle of friends” at the property, according to Cortazzo, who met Doherty when she came to view one of his listings more than 20 years ago. “We had Italian Night every week at her house, and Dancing Night,” he said.

Contemporary with walls of glass, Doherty’s home looks very different from the Spanish-style Walsh house on “90210.” The Malibu home has a stucco exterior, wide-plank oak floors, beamed ceilings, vintage fixtures and antique doors, according to Cortazzo.

The western portion of Malibu, where Doherty’s property is located, wasn’t directly impacted by the most recent spate of L.A. wildfires in January, Cortazzo said. In recent months, he said, he has seen an uptick in transactions in the area, though buyers are being more selective about finding fire-safe homes. “They investigate and make sure that the brush isn’t right next to the house and that there aren’t shingle roofs,” he said.
