Josh Duhamel is ready to part ways with his home in Los Angeles.
The 53-year-old actor has placed his home located in Encino in the San Fernando Valley on the market at $2.9 million in partnership with listing agent Thomas Atamian of Coldwell Banker Realty in La Cañada Flintridge.
“It’s rare to find a property that flawlessly combines dramatic architecture, modern updates and total privacy,” Atamian said in a statement. “The defining feature of this home is its positioning. It captures breathtaking jetliner and mountain views from almost every angle. It’s an absolute standout offering in a premier location.”
Originally built in 1962, the 3,310-square-foot home features four bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms and panoramic views of the surrounding mountainside.

Common areas include a great room with soaring high ceilings that flow directly into the chef’s kitchen with a large center island. The newly renovated primary suite offers two walk-in closets and a private ensuite bathroom.
Once outside, guests will find an outdoor firepit, a large swimming pool, a built-in barbeque and many outdoor dining and lounging areas.
Duhamel placed the home on the market a little over a year after he spoke to Parade about his decision to move out of Los Angeles to Minnesota to live an off-the-grid lifestyle in a home he spent 15 years building.
“The closest store is 40 miles away,” he explained to the outlet. “Once we get there, it’s really about everybody taking care of each other — making memories, spending time with family and friends.”

The actor moved to Minnesota with his wife, Audra Mari, and their son, Shepherd, 2, with his 12-year-old son, Axl, whom he shares with his ex Fergie, joining them there from time-to-time. They recently welcomed their daughter Rocca in May.
Duhamel explained that their new lifestyle allows him and his family to “get back to the basics” and away from all distractions, noting his older son is “not on his iPad” all day but rather playing sports, exploring the woods and overall enjoying the outdoors.
“And then I have a little baby who’s going to experience the same thing. Someday, I hope to pass this on to them [so] they’re able to share it with their kids. It’s really important to me that they have this. It’s not just about having all the amenities and all the luxuries that we become so used to. It’s really about family. It’s about legacy,” he said.
Living off the grid has not only allowed Duhamel and his family to reconnect with nature, but has also given him peace of mind, knowing he has somewhere to go in case of a world-ending event.

During an interview with People magazine in August 2025, he referred to his home in the country as his “doomsday cabin,” sharing he was “Probably 70%” ready for the apocalypse.
“I could be a better hunter. I could be a better fisherman. I could stockpile a little more food supply,” he told the outlet.
