Shes having a career renaissance, but when it comes to real estate, Demi Moores houses havent budged for over two decades. The actor, who recently received her first Golden Globe for her starring role in The Substancewhich also garnered her a nomination for best actress at the upcoming Oscarshas maintained ownership of her homes in Beverly Hills and Idaho since around the turn of the millennium.Both dwellings emphasize their surrounding natural environments, which is clearly a trait that Moore values in a home. You feel the outside when you're inside. The house is part of nature, and nature rarely does it wrong, she said in a 2007 AD tour of her Beverly Hills home. If we stick closely to it, well always be on the right track. In her California abode, that philosophy involved floor-to-ceiling glass, a sun-filled atrium, and a natural color palette; in Idaho, the actor opted for an idyllic sprawl fit for a nature preserve. Below, we explore both of Moores peaceful pads and the other places shes called home over the years.Malibu beach houseThough Moore technically didnt own this Malibu property, she did live in it for a decade. Actor Bruce Willis plunked down $2.15 million on a five-bedroom home on the Pacific Coast Highway in June 1987. One month later, he met Moore. Before the year was out, the two were married, and the Feud actor moved into Williss 4,850-square-foot beachfront pad. During their tenancy, the duo thoroughly renovated the 1948-built structure. It featured a double-height living room, a projection room, two offices, a pool overlooking the ocean, and 70 feet of beach frontage.The modern-style dwelling was the couples home base during the years they starred in some of their most iconic projects, like Ghost and Die Hard. While discussing The Substances themes of body image and societal pressure during an interview on CBS last year, Moore revealed that she biked the 30 miles each way from the Malibu home to Paramount Studios in Hollywood while filming Indecent Proposal in 1993.In 1997, Moore and Willis offered up the house for rent at $50,000 a month. Late television legend Norman Lear was reportedly one short-term tenant. Around the same time, the couple returned it to the market, asking $8 million. The Mortal Thoughts costars announced their separation in 1998, and Willis offloaded the dwelling the following year for about $6.7 million.New York City penthouseThe San Remo building as seen from Central Park.Photo: Gary Hershorn/Getty Images
