Brosnan’s Bond Style Abode

After a year, Pierce Brosnan has decided to cancel the sale of his $100 million Malibu home. Pierce and wife, Kelly Shaye Smith, built the almost 13,000-square-foot compound on property they purchased in 2000, then spent ten years to finish and gave it the name Orchid House. The interior is comprised of five bedrooms, fourteen baths, dining with fireplace, a gourmet kitchen also with fireplace, butler’s pantry and custom wine storage.

Pierce Brosnan, best known for his role as James Bond, has continued his luxury lifestyle many years after he chose to move on from the iconic role. Brosnan listed his stunning 117-foot oceanfront estate in Malibu, designed in an exotic Thia-inspired style. The estate benefits from a mix of ocean and beach views and has a spacious feel with clean lines and tasteful design.

Brosnan is likely to have formulated the design ideas for his Asian inspired deign from his many travels with wife, Kelly Shaye Smith. The couple encapsulate the regions design aesthetic of elevating architecture, both inside and out, to create a truly beautiful and luxurious home. It was in 2000 that Brosnan and Smith purchased the 13,000 square-foot property, and over the next ten years the couple perfected their Malibu beach house, naming the compound “Orchid House”. The estate is comprised of five bedrooms, fourteen baths, dining with fireplace, a gourmet kitchen also with fireplace, butler’s pantry, and custom wine storage.  The home theatre has a bar and tiered seating.  Another wing contains a large, mirrored gym, sauna, steam room, Japanese style soaking tub and cold plunge.  The upper-level master suite has his-and-her baths, dressing rooms and two more fireplaces.  It also has a large deck for ocean viewing.  Outside is a large open deck for entertaining along with a separate living and dining area with wind breaks if needed.  The pool in front of the two-story guest house is salt water, the landscaping has palm trees and perfumed tropical flowers and a path to the wide beach.

Malibu has been a celebrity real estate destination since the beginning of filmdom.  It is where many well know figures go to decompress in the camaraderie of their peers, feel the sun on their backs and the sand between their toes.  The new owner of this glamorous beach retreat will be joining the ranks of Lady Gaga, Julia Roberts, Steven Spielberg and Courteney Cox.

Pierce Brosnan acted the part of James Bond in four films from 1995 until 2002:  GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day have all become Bond classics.  But Brosnan had a stellar career prior to 007 (think Remington Steele and Mrs. Doubtfire), during his spy days (The Thomas Crown Affair), and after Bond (Mama Mia and The Son).
