Tennis icon John McEnroe and his wife, singer-songwriter Patty Smyth, have listed their Malibu beachfront estate in Paradise Cove for 31 million euros, according to the Wall Street Journal. The couple purchased the Southern California property in 2015 for 18 million euros, setting the current asking price 13 million euros above their initial acquisition cost. The home entered the real estate market at the beginning of October, offering buyers a coastal residence in one of the Pacific Coast’s most exclusive areas.
The Paradise Cove Listing And Financial Growth
The Malibu property sits directly on the waterfront in Paradise Cove, a stretch of the California coast known for high-value real estate. Neither McEnroe nor Smyth has publicly disclosed the reasoning behind the decision to part ways with the seaside residence.
A Quiet Sanctuary From Tennis Stardom
The listing marks a notable departure for the former player, who is widely recognized for dominating men’s tennis throughout the 1980s with his intense competitive fire and legendary temper tantrums. Despite his fiery on-court persona, McEnroe told The Wall Street Journal that the Malibu estate served as a vital, peaceful sanctuary in his life. The property features sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and immediate access to the water, elements that the tennis Hall of Famer described as deeply meaningful during his post-playing career as a broadcaster and analyst.
Decades Of Partnership Across Entertainment And Sport
The couple has maintained one of the most enduring relationships in the entertainment industry since marrying in 1997. Smyth built her own prominent career as the lead singer of the band Scandal before establishing a successful solo music path. Meanwhile, McEnroe transitioned from his dominant playing days into a permanent role as a tennis commentator, analyst, and senior figure in the sport. Their marriage predates the purchase of the Malibu home by nearly two decades, and the upcoming property sale signals a fresh chapter for the pair as they prepare to leave their longtime coastal retreat.
