Christian Yelich lists hillside Malibu mansion for $30 million

Milwaukee Brewers captain Christian Yelich has put his hillside Malibu, California, mansion on the market for $30 million, six years after purchasing the 1-acre property for $5.55 million.

Yelich bought the property in 2020. At the time, the lot included fully approved designs by architect Michael Kovac of KOVAC Design Studio.

MarketWatch, which credits Realtor.com in its listing story, described the completed residence as contemporary. Retractable glass walls in the primary suite open onto ocean views.

Stadiumnews.com, citing Athlon Sports, said the $5.55 million purchase in 2020 was for the land beneath the mansion. Its account places the finished home's listing six years after the purchase.

The listing date was not immediately known, nor were the agents and brokerage representing the property, its square footage or its bedroom and bathroom counts.

It was also not immediately known if the completed house followed Kovac's approved plans, what Yelich spent on construction or why he is selling.

The sale listing comes after Yelich's championship season. He is a World Series champion.

In October, the Brewers secured their first franchise World Series title by defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5, FOX Sports reported. Milwaukee had beaten Tampa Bay 10-1 in Game 3, but the Rays forced a fifth game by rallying for two runs in the 12th inning to win 4-3.

FOX Sports described the championship as a long-awaited achievement for Yelich and the Brewers. Yelich dedicated the title to Bob Uecker, and Brewers fans packed Milwaukee's streets for a victory celebration, the outlet said.

Another Malibu property reached the market the same week. Robb Report said the Ross Estate was listed for $14.5 million and has 11-foot-tall retractable glass walls in its living room, a feature also found in Yelich's primary suite.

FOX Sports has also said a potential lockout threatens Major League Baseball's 2027 season when its current labor deal expires Dec. 1.
