A treehouse-like home in Malibu may interest retro Hollywood fans. Two of its former owners starred in entertainment vehicles in the fantasy genre:
- Sally Field, for whom an early role was as an airborne novice in the TV sit-com The Flying Nun (1967–1970)
- Olivia Newton-John, who played Terpsichore, the Greek goddess of dance and chorus, in the musical film Xanadu (1980)
A Piece of Hollywood History
The 3.2-acre compound they owned separately is now up for sale, at an asking price of $25 million.
Chava Gourarie described its many assets for Mansion Global.
The cliffside home was built in 1958. Newton-John owned it from the 1980s to 1994; Fields became the deed holder in 2004 and sold it in 2011.
Its latest owners are a married couple who sought a spot to run their self-actualization counseling service. Under their ownership, the structure was stripped to the studs and completely renovated.
A Harmonious Indoor-Outdoor Living Experience
The exterior blends seamlessly into the lush surroundings in the hills, an aesthetic underscored by heavy reliance on natural elements for building materials.
Once inside, the effort to highlight the native horticulture is evident. Window placements and sizing welcome in the natural beauty of the property.
The great room is aptly named; with no sense of clutter or disorganization, it holds the kitchen, the dining room, and a fireplace centerpiece.
Even a seemingly innocuous hallway has been positioned to highlight the picturesque outdoors.
In addition to adding beauty, enabling plant life to be visible from inside the home brings a sense of peace.

The grounds also contain a unique guest house.
The home has a wraparound deck that leads to this firepit, with its distinctive, contemporary design.
