\n\tHeeere\u2019s Johnny\u2019s house! It\u2019s been two decades since Johnny Carson died at age 79. Now an epic oceanfront Malibu<\/a> estate best known as the longtime home of the late-night TV legend has popped up for sale at a substantial $110 million, with\u00a0the listing<\/a>\u00a0held by Chris Cortazzo of Compass.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Tonight Show\u00a0host acquired the four-parcel Point Dume<\/a> complex in the mid-1980s for $9.5 million. Carson\u2019s widow Alexis inherited the property upon his death in 2005, then sold the entire spread two years later for $46 million to billionaire apparel mogul-turned-film producer Sidney Kimmel and his wife Caroline. In 2019, the Kimmels transferred the place to venture capitalist Riaz Valani, an early investor in the e-cigarette manufacturer Juul, and his wife Augusta Tigrett, a daughter of Hard Rock Caf\u00e9 co-founder Isaac Tigrett and Ringo Starr\u2019s ex-wife Maureen Starkey. The clandestine deal took place off-market and was valued at $40 million in cash, more than half off the original $81.5 million asking price.<\/p>\n

\n\tBuilt in the early 1980s and since remodeled, the estate rests on over four acres divided by a public road. On the bluff side of the property, a gated driveway leads to the triangle-shaped, two-bedroom main home, which was designed by modernist architect\u00a0Ed Niles<\/a>\u00a0and is cleaved to a steep cliff directly overlooking the ocean. Another gated driveway empties at a three-car garage and a motor court with parking for up to 40 vehicles, plus a guardhouse.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe three-story, 7,100-square-foot primary residence is introduced via an atrium entry adorned with mature trees. From there, an expansive living and entertaining area topped with a 30-foot-tall wood and glass ceiling sports a sunken copper and glass fireplace surrounded by built-in seating. Doors spill out to a koi pond and an ocean-view terrace. An elevated dining room comes with a black marble-topped bar, and an updated kitchen is outfitted with a large island and a butler\u2019s pantry.<\/p>\n

\n\tOccupying the entire upper floor is the primary suite, which has a bedroom with a fireplace and a private balcony, along with dual offices, walk-in closets, and baths. The lower level houses a screening room, a wine cellar, a wet bar, and access to an ocean-view terrace, while the rest of the garden-laced grounds host a saltwater pool with a waterfall grotto, a spa, a sauna, and a cold plunge.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmid the aforementioned parcel across the street is a full-sized tennis court and an adjoining 2,700-square-foot viewing pavilion holding a pair of guest suites, a fireside lounge, a full kitchen, and a sauna-equipped locker room. There\u2019s also a guesthouse, a greenhouse, a fruit orchard, and an aviary.<\/p>\n
