Jeff Bridges bought the house more than two decades ago from Grammy-winning musician Kenny Loggins for slightly less than $7 million, according to reports by the LA Times.
The house is backed by a terraced slope planted with grape vines, however it is not thought that Bridge’s harvests these grapes to produce wine.
Bridges’ film credits include True Grit (2010), The Big Lebowski (1998) and Crazy Heart (2010), with his performance in the latter winning him an Oscar for Best Actor.
The property is being listed by Suzanne Perkins of Sotheby’s International Real Estate.
