Sarah Paulson finally offloaded her Malibu mobile home for $1.45 million last week.
The tony trailer sits in Paradise Cove Mobile Home Park, a lavish seafront trailer park previously called home by A-listers like Stevie Knicks and Matthew McConaughey. Realtor.com first reported on the sale.
The “American Horror Story” actress bought her double-wide domicile in the elite enclave for $860,000 in March 2021. Paulson then undertook extensive renovations on the one-bedroom trailer alongside designer Nickey Kehoe. The result was featured in an Architectural Digest tour in 2023.
“I brought my dog to my friend’s house — she has a house in the same area — and I took my dog for a walk on the beach. I’ve never seen my dog so happy,” Paulson told the outlet of discovering the charming locale. “So I actually really got the house for my dog.”
The listing, which included a golf cart in the deal, described the trailer park home as a “jewel box.”
The trailer’s transom windows bring in ample natural light to the white-washed kitchen, the highlight of which are sea foam and emerald green-veined marble countertops. Brass hardware dots the home and blush-pink tiles line the bathroom from floor to ceiling. A lofted area allows for extra sleeping space and the backyard area offers a slice of privacy from the rest of the park.
The mauve home went back on the market in May 2024 for a whopping $2 million, but the Emmy-winning actress was forced to drop the asking price more than once, down to $1.57 million in March.
Paulson briefly delisted the home earlier this year after the Palisades Fire wrought major damage on areas surrounding the mobile park, including another tony trailer park, Tahitian Terrace Mobile Home Park, where Barbara Corcoran’s $1 million double-wide trailer was completely destroyed.
While a $1.45 million sale price is far from paltry, Paulson’s pad is by no means the most expensive residence in Paradise Cove Mobile Home Park.
There are currently six homes on sale in the community, according to Realtor.com, all of which are priced above $1.2 million and one of which — a two bedroom trailer — is listed for just under $5 million.
The trailer park, situated atop a seaside bluff, has been gentrifying since the early 2000s, as wealthy surfing hobbyists have discovered the once-blue-collar community’s proximity to a popular surfing cove.
The explosion in this trailer park’s popularity among the shabby-chic-loving bourgeoisie makes it a cross-coastal twin to Montauk Shores on the eastern tip of Long Island, another trailer park community popular among surfers and increasingly owned by deep pocketed buyers willing to shell out millions for a 1,200-square-foot trailer.
