Josh Duhamel Sells $3 Million L.A. Home for Rural Cabin

Actor Josh Duhamel has accepted a contingent offer on his Los Angeles home, listed for $2.99 million on June 25. Property records indicate the sale is progressing less than two weeks after it was put on the market. Duhamel, 53, purchased the four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom ranch-style property in Encino for $2.65 million in 2017, suggesting a potential profit if the full asking price is achieved. The sale aligns with Duhamel's stated desire to spend more time at his off-grid cabin in Minnesota, which he refers to as a "doomsday prepper" retreat. He and his wife, Audra Mari, have been increasingly spending time in Fargo, North Dakota, Mari's hometown, where they also own a residence. Duhamel and Mari recently welcomed their second child, a daughter named Rocca. The actor has previously expressed an enjoyment in balancing his life between the rugged cabin and other residences, though it remains unclear if he plans to maintain a base in California after the Encino sale. The property was listed with Thomas Atamian of Coldwell Banker Realty. Duhamel is known for his role in "Ransom Canyon."
