Julia Roberts is one of the many celebrities who, over the years, have been openly vocal about her love for nature and how her priorities have shifted in life. Long before eco-friendly homes were a trend in the real estate industry, Roberts set the tone for it all with her Malibu home. Here is a look into the property she invested in 19 years ago, which is still standing tall.
About Julia Roberts’ eco-friendly home in Malibu
In 2007, Roberts had been planning on creating an eco-friendly space at her Malibu Home. At one point, she owned multiple properties across Malibu. According to Architectural Digest, Roberts and her husband Danny Moder, who married in 2002, bought their first-ever home in Malibu in 2003 for USD 9.5 million.The property is spread across acres and consists of multiple buildings, a brick-laid motor court, an inner courtyard area, large lawns, decks and shaded outdoor spaces. The Oscar-winning star later turned this property into an eco-friendly haven, opting for sustainable items for the decor and renovations. The couple live here with their twins, Hazel and Phinnaeus, and their son, Henry.She invested around USD 20 million in her main home, showing how much she prioritised her family and her everyday life away from the Hollywood hustle. While talking to ‘Good Morning’ in 2022, the actress shared that she has many things to do whenever she is home. She added, “When I’m not working, [being a homemaker] is my full-time job. It isn’t rainbows and kittens every day, but it does bring me a lot of joy.” The space now has sustainable features all across, with one of the main ones being the solar panels.
How becoming a mother changes Julia Roberts’ perspective on climate change
In an old Life & Style Magazine interview, the beloved actress opened up about how becoming a mother changed her perspective on everything in life, especially about the choices she made in her everyday life. She shared that she became more conscious and aware of her surroundings, the environment, and the climate. She shared during the interview that she wished to teach them how to live sustainably, which is why she opted to change the way she operated in everyday life.
Julia Roberts’ other properties in Malibu
Roberts purchased a neighbouring property to her main residence in 2016, and later purchased another one nearby, called the Point Dume cottage. She invested around USD 3.895 million in this property, which had a ranch style single floor set up that provided the family access to one of the most private beaches in Malibu. However, without much fanfare, the actress sold off both of the properties that are located close to her main residence in 2020. Since then, she and her entire family have been primarily based in their original home.Other than Malibu, she owns multiple other spaces across the country, which include her stunning San Francisco home, along with a Greenwich Village penthouse, a Kauai beach house, and their Taos, New Mexico, ranch. She has sold off many of these properties over the years.
