The Medieval-inspired property is back on the market at significantly reduced price, after failing to sell last summer
He might know ‘What Women Want’ but Mel Gibson is clearly struggling to gauge what buyers in Malibu want, as he has so far failed to sell his home in Malibu, Los Angeles. The sprawling mansion, with its unique Medieval-style decor was originally on the market last summer for £13.2 million ($17.5 million), but a buyer has yet to emerge.

Its return to the market this summer at a reduced cost of £11.2 million ($14.8 million) indicates the movie star is feeling brave and willing to risk a substantial loss. Hopefully his tactics will work. After all, this is an impressive property, comprising a characterful five bedroom main house with an abundance of captivating outdoor living areas.

The bedroom is a complete mash-up of interior styles. The stone fireplace is inkeeping with the Medieval style of the house. While the feature wall behind the bed, made of leather cushioning, feels more modern, the striped back wooden floors have a Scandi vibe.
