Celebrity Home For Sale: Richard Donner's $22 Million Maui Vacation Paradise

"Lethal Weapon" director Richard Donner listed his gorgeous retreat abode in Hawaii for $22 million.

According to Realtor.com, Donner joins the list of celebrities who are transcending from the Hollywood industry into the real estate business. Ike Kligerman Barkley firm's Thomas A. Kligerman built the 4,500 square feet residence for the 85-year-old filmmaker and his wife, producer Lauren Shuler Donner in 2005.

According to the post from agent Meghan Clair, the Coldwell Banker Previews International advertises the seaside estate located in Keawakapu Beach, Hawaii. The beachfront home has four bathrooms and two bedrooms with additional living spaces inside the main home such as the media room, great room and a sunroom. Other details are the state-of-the-art master bath area complete with Jacuzzi tub, steam room shower and outdoor shower.

There is also a separate area for house guests. The upper floor has two bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one partial bathroom. The office room and gym area are both located downstairs.

In the 2008 interview with Architecture Digest, the Donner couple only wanted a simpler home different from the big-budget productions they usually make while working.

"I don't want anything fancy. I want the sort of place where if I don't wash the sand off my feet when I come up to the house from the beach, I don't have to worry about it," Richard Donner said.

He then shared that most of their Maui neighbors are building large size homes but the film couple decided not to copy them. Despite having a smaller home, they wanted to showcase the majestic scenery instead.

Richard worked intensively as a director and as a producer for several blockbuster hits such as the "Goonies" and the "Lethal Weapon" film franchise starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover.

He currently heads a production company The Donners' Company with his wife. Lauren, on the other hand, continues to produce several projects such as those set in the DC Comics Universe. These films include "X-Men: Apocalypse," "Deadpool" and "Gambit."
