David Duchovny, the ever-curious “X-Files” agent who once probed the paranormal, just wrapped up a high-profile transaction of his own, this time in real estate. The actor has officially sold his chic Malibu sanctuary for a cool $10,979,100, closing the chapter on a coastal hideaway that’s anything but ordinary.
Tucked discreetly behind gates and wrapped in sleek architecture, Duchovny’s 3,577-square-foot home may seem like your typical Malibu modernist paradise until you notice the restored vintage train caboose tucked beside it. Yes, really.
Where Contemporary Minimalism Meets Quirky Cool
At first glance, the home reads like a minimalist’s dream. Polished cement floors stretch throughout the open layout, while oversized pivoting glass doors usher in floods of golden California light. Soaring ceilings only add to the breezy drama.
The kitchen delivers a high-end culinary experience, fitted with premium Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, and an elegant marble finish that extends into the dining area. A cozy coffee bar offers a quiet corner to recharge.
Meanwhile, the sliding glass doors out back dissolve the line between indoors and outdoors, revealing a private oasis. Spa-level features inside include a deep soaking tub, a rainfall steam shower, and a walk-in closet designed for the ultimate reset.
Outdoor Living, Elevated
Step outside, and the luxury narrative continues. The backyard is built for relaxation and entertainment alike, with a lap pool, jacuzzi, and a cold plunge anchored in smooth concrete and wood decking. A sunken firepit lounge adds a dramatic focal point for nightfall gatherings.
For al-fresco dining, a covered patio awaits, complete with built-in heaters and a Wolf-equipped outdoor kitchen.
Yes, There’s a Train Caboose and It’s Glorious
Duchovny’s estate stands out for one truly unexpected addition: a fully restored train caboose, transformed into a guest suite that feels straight out of a design magazine.
“The X-Files” actor’s home’s unique feature is a fully restored train caboose that’s included with the lavish estate.
The caboose is dressed to impress with rich Douglas Fir paneling, accordion-style glass doors, and a rooftop deck perfect for coastal views. Inside, a compact kitchen includes refrigerator drawers and a chic dining nook. A rainfall shower and sleek stone vanity complete its high-end bathroom.
Extras, Everywhere You Look
Back on the main grounds, guests can also enjoy a mirrored gym or secondary guest suite with an en-suite bathroom and heated deck—perfect for extended stays or fitness routines with a view.
“The X-Files” star David Duchovny’s Malibu mansion sells for nearly $11 million, showcasing a restored train caboose and spa-like amenities.
The property was represented by Chris Cortazzo of Compass Real Estate, who handled the listing for both Duchovny and the buyer.
