Famed architect Richard Landry has unloaded his home in Malibu, Fla., for $8.3 million.
The Los Angeles Times first spotted the change in the property records noting that Thomas Clementes of Sotheby's International Realty assisted the buyers in the deal. Landry was represented by Christopher Cortazzo of Coldwell Banker.
The "architect to the stars" first put the home on market in July this year for $8.9 million. But, Landry probably didn't mind that the home went under the asking.
The home was featured in a 2001 issue of Architectural Digest where Landry opened up about the home.
"When I design for others, I try not to impose my ideas, but here we wanted to have fun and not worry about resale value."
Listing records of the home state that the residence is a 4,504-square-feet barn-style house sitting on 15 prime acres of prime Malibu land.
No expense was spared while building the house. Landry imported barn wood from Quebec (his father was a carpenter in Quebec) and used pecan hardwood and concrete slabs for flooring.
The home, which has five bedrooms and four bathrooms, features high soaring, wood beamed ceilings and some exposed brick walls. Since it perches on a hill-top, the house offers beautiful views of the ocean.
There is a formal living area, a dining space and a modern kitchen with a mid-rise island and custom cabinetry. The two-storey home has a great room, a library, a gym and a laundry as well. The master suite has a huge walk-in-closet.
Outside, the home has a circular metallic swimming pool and a three-car garage and a motor court. There is a four-stall horse barn as well.

Landry has designed homes of several high profile stars including Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's eco-friendly Los Angeles mansion, which Dr. Dre purchased for $40 million. He also designed homes of Mark Wahlberg, Adrienne Maloof and Wayne Gretzky among others.
The rented mansion, in which King of Pop Michael Jackson died, was also designed by Landry.
In a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Landry said that the secret to his immense fame was that he never repeated floor plans.
"I never copy myself. Nobody else can have a Gisele house, even if they wanted it," he said referring to the Brazilian supermodel's home.
"My goal always has to go with finding the right proportions. It is not about building bigger and bigger homes," he added.
