Looks like Shannen Doherty placed her 3,410 square-foot house in Malibu for sale last week. The house, on Winding Way in Malibu, is listed at $4,400,000 — which is over $1.8 million more than she paid for it.

The house was built in 1976, has five bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and an ocean view. According to the property listing, it sits on over one acre and boasts a flower-lined drive leading up to a large motor court. The master suite even has a fireplace for those chilly Malibu nights. Oh, and she’s apparently throwing in most of the appliances, too.

Didn’t Spider-Man just buy an acre for $10 million in Brentwood? And this is a Malibu property with an acre for under a half million? Why, it’s practically a steal. Unless, of course, it just so happens to be located near mud slide areas. And while the "towering trees" and "fragrant gardens" sound nice, will they be so great when the yearly fires come through? Of course, my pretties, don’t worry about fires if you’re interested in this property. It has survived since the 70s, hasn’t it? Odds are pretty good it’s not in that part of Malibu. An ocean view doesn’t necessarily mean the home is perched on a cliff, now, does it? So you’re probably safe from mud slides, too. Probably.

We haven’t heard yet why Doherty is placing the house for sale. But she does still own another Malibu home, so maybe she’s tired of the upkeep. Or maybe, with her reputation of being hard to work with, she’s having trouble finding a gig and needs to save money? After all, rumors abounded on both "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Charmed" about her attitude. Notice both shows went on without her? Hmmm, we’ll have to wait and see on that one, darlings.

Tobey Maguire recently purchased a piece of luxury property in Brentwood. But there’s no home on it yet. He paid almost $10 million for an acre of land north of Sunset.

Because the property was already razed, he doesn’t have to deal with clearing off the old house. But really, $10 million for an acre? That’s only $1 million less than what he sold his Hollywood Hills house for in 2007.

We wonder what his budget for home construction will be like. And will his wife’s father help with the deal? He is president and COO of Universal, after all. Nah, Maguire has enough money to build multiple houses after all of the Spider-Man movies he has starred in.
