Matt Damon Puts His Zen-Inspired Los Angeles House For Sale at $21 Million

Tropical retreat - this is the best way to describe the humble abode of Hollywood A-lister Matt Damon, which he puts up on the market for a whopping $21 million. The Zen-inspired home could be found in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles, California.

The Agency's listing agent Eric Haskell confirmed that the 50-year-old actor sells his sprawling 13,500-square-foot property as the family decided to live in New York City, where he purchased a Brooklyn Heights penthouse two years ago.

"They really love it there, even with everything going on with Covid," Haskell said, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.

In 2012, Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, purchased the said property for $15 million. The listing agent also described living in the enormous estate like a tropical retreat.

"You don't feel like you're in Southern California anymore," Haskell added.

While "Jason Bourne" franchise star and his wife did some minor changes in the property over the years, Mr. Haskell said they had not done any major renovations to preserve its natural beauty.

What to expect in a Zen-inspired house?

Zen, or the Japanese way of life that translates to peace and calm, it manifests the value of meditation and intuition.

When you said that a house is Zen-inspired or exhibits Zen-design, it embodies the minimalist philosophy using natural materials, light, and space patterns with little to no clutter.

Relaxing, contemplative, visually balanced, and appealing, this is how a Zen-inspired home's interior design should look and feel.
