Heeeeeere's One House With History: $81.5M in Malibu

MALIBU, CA – Want to live in a house with history? For $81,500,000, you can live in the Malibu oceanfront estate that the late-night TV host Johnny Carson called home for nearly 20 years. This two-bedroom home sits on a 4.1 acre lot and features: a waterfall, Koi pond, saltwater pool, a guest house, gym, locker room, tennis court, and more.

Designed by architect Ed Niles in 1978, the estate is located on about four prime acres of manicured grounds and occupies a commanding vantage point on the bluffs of Point Dume, according to Coldwell Banker Global Luxury and Hilton & Hyland, which share the listing.

The owners of the estate, Sidney and Caroline Kimmel, purchased the property in 2007. Kimmel is the founder of Jones Apparel Group and Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, which has produced such films as "The Kite Runner," "United 93," "Lars and the Real Girl," "Moneyball" and "Hell or High Water."
