Professional athletes Aaron Rodgers and Danica Patrick both put themselves in harm’s way for a living, so the US$28 million they just spent on a hot property in Malibu seems justified to us.
In fact, all things considered regarding other hot properties bought and sold in Los Angeles, this would be considered mildly moderate spending.
Stretching for more than 30 miles along the Pacific and Highway One, Malibu has achieved almost mythological status among California beach towns.
Hollywood stars and top athletes live in oceanfront homes here, under an elegant veil of privacy on long strands of beach, and enjoy front-row seats for surfing and unforgettable sunsets.
Now let’s look at some quick stats for Aaron Rodgers and Danica Patrick, Malibu’s newest celebrity couple to live the SoCal beach life.
Aaron Rodgers, quarterback for the Green Bay Packers who led them to Super Bowl victory in 2010:
6 ft, 2 inches tall.
225 pounds.
Average defense lineman who sees Aaron as lunch:
6 ft. 5 inches tall.
312 pounds.
Linemen also run the 40-yard dash in about 5 seconds. That’s some serious collision power wanting to crush you. So Aaron Rodgers millions are well-earned. Now let’s look at Danica:
Danica Patrick:
Drives like a maniac and hogs the road.
Not good with speed limits.
Won’t use her turn signals.
Did we mention she was a top professional race car driver? Not a lot of traffic lights on the racetrack so she gets a pass on the turn signal thing. Danica Patrick has definitely earned her millions being the only woman who won the Indy Japan 300 in 2008.
The married couple gifted themselves a Malibu contemporary Mediterranean-style home, built in 1980. This hot property features a pair of gates that lead to a courtyard on this 1/2 + acre property.
Per the listing, the 4,636 square-foot 4 bedrooms, 4 bath main house was designed in the style of the Italian Palazzo.
The ocean side of the home opens to the beach in a contemporary style by a pocket glass wall. A substantial bedroom suite includes a spa bath and there’s also a two-bedroom guesthouse.
The shared living spaces flow to an expansive exterior terrace overlooking the hill and beach. A little further down the path is a little private lounge tucked away which features a large, curving outdoor sofa.
A large saltwater pool and a private footpath to a quiet beach cove are among the exterior highlights of this beautiful property.
We’re thinking Danica can go long for one of Aaron’s famous lobs along this path. And we’re guessing he never misses flights for his games with her behind the wheel. No doubt he likes the extra time he gets to spend in the airport luxury lounges.
