Seth MacFarlane Bought a Very Zen Home on Malibu Beach for $16M

Fart joke connoisseur and “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane picked up a stunning beachside house in Malibu, California, by plunking down $15.68 million. Per Variety, the 43-year-old purchased the glass-walled manse from Cindy Landon, widow of late television star Michael Landon back in July of 2019, but the new owner wasn’t revealed until recently.

This isn’t MacFarlane’s main house — that one is located above Beverly Hills. Instead, this one has all the makings of a vacation home. It’s open and airy, and sits on a bluff with direct access to the beach. Want to take a look through MacFarlane’s newest property? Read on.

The Entry

Designed by architect Doug Burdge, the 6,904-square-foot house features huge sliding glass walls for true indoor/outdoor living.

The Living Room

The $15.68 million price tag MacFarlane paid for this six-bedroom house was a great deal for the seller. Landon had purchased the home for $7.5 million in 2015, although she spent some cash renovating and expanding the house while she lived there.

For MacFarlane, the price tag is relatively little. The animator is rumored to be worth around $200 million.

This living room has a black gas fireplace, which doubles as a room divider.

The main floor has an open floorplan and is illuminated by recessed lighting when there’s not enough sun pouring in from the beach-facing side.

The hardwood flooring seamlessly continues from the outside deck areas to the interior.

Outside Living

Right off the main living room is a spa.

The Dining Area

Two rows of pendant lights hang above the dining room table.

The house’s interior is a chic white with black accents, a popular coloring for modern architecture.

The Kitchen

Some features break away from the clean and almost minimalistic design of the house, like the wooden shelf attached to the kitchen island.

The driftwood shelf doubles as a breakfast bar.

Cooking in this kitchen must be a breeze — and you can cook with a breeze when the glass wall retracts.

The Kitchen, Continued

The island features a double-wide sink with two faucets.

The kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances.

The Views

The views are breathtaking.

The Stairwell

Just off the kitchen is this striking stairwell, which is crowned by an enormous multi-paned glass skylight.

A number of pendant lights hang like glowing microphones from ceiling beams, giving light to the built-in shelving.

The Master Bedroom

The master bedroom features a fireplace and almost enough room for another fight between Peter Griffin and the giant chicken.

The master bedroom has sweeping views of the nearby mountains on one side and the ocean on the other.

Recharging in this house must be an excellent way for MacFarlane to come up with new episodes for his newest show, “The Orville.” The show has moved from Fox to Hulu for its third season and is slated to premiere there in late 2020.

The Master Bathroom

The master bathroom is very Zen, with minimalistic dual sinks and a soaking tub surrounded by polished black pebbles.

If you’re wondering whether or not MacFarlane has someone to share that Jack and Jill setup with, so are the gossip papers. MacFarlane was rumored to be dating his former “Orville” co-star, Halston Sage, although nothing was confirmed (she is now dating Charlie Puth). Sage played Alara Kitan, who was given a send-off episode in season two after the actress quit the show.

The shower is all glass. Even if you’re self-conscious, at least the views are great.

The Office

This spot, fashioned into a little office space, could be where MacFarlane whips up another episode of “Family Guy.” The show has been on for 20 years and is currently in its 18th season.

The Office, Continued

MacFarlane’s foray into feature films has been successful as well. “Ted” made $549 million worldwide on a $50 million budget. Its sequel, “Ted 2,” made $215 million worldwide on a $68 million budget.

The Game Room

The ground floor features a large gaming room, with one huge wall of glass.

The stairway can be blocked off by a large sliding barn door.

Tucked into this corner near an outside sliding door is a small wet bar with Sub-Zero appliances. No Pawtucket Patriot Ale, though.

The Bathrooms

The house has six bathrooms, one of them a half-bath.

The Bathrooms, Continued

This bathroom features a trough sink.

The Wine Cellar

The house has an incredible wine cellar, which looks like it can fit several hundred bottles.

Actually, it might hold over 1,000. There’s also a humidor somewhere near here.

Heading Outside

The master bathroom isn’t the only thing that’s Zen about this bluff-side property. In this area, there’s a gazebo and koi pond. For Seth, it might be about smoking some weed…and maybe bringing his parents along for the session.

The Grounds

The house sits on one-third of an acre of pristinely manicured grounds.

To the Beach

The house has direct access to the beach.

The Exterior

There’s enough room for about six cars in the motor court.

From this view, you can see the Zen garden, a wonderful spot to listen to the ocean and appreciate the beautiful Malibu climate. Or think of new ways to rip on Meg.
