‘Starship Troopers’ actor Casper Van Dien parts ways with Malibu home

Actors Casper Van Dien and Catherine Oxenberg have sold their marital home in Malibu for $2.77 million.

The couple, who separated last year, put the one-acre spread above Broad Beach on the market in April for $2.995 million. They bought the house more than a decade ago for $1.6 million, records show.

The hedged and gated estate, built in 1980, centers on a Mediterranean-style main house of 3,701 square feet. Koi ponds, tiered gardens and an orchard filled with various citrus fruit trees fill the grounds.

The five-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home includes a chef’s kitchen with an exotic backsplash, a family room and a formal dining room. There are fireplaces in the living room and master bedroom, which takes in an ocean view.

French doors off of each room connect to a private garden; the master suite opens to a wide veranda.

Outdoors, a flagstone patio surrounds a large fountain and a koi pond. A kidney-shaped swimming pool sits off the entrance to the property.

Nanette Marchand of Rodeo Realty and Alexander Mayer of Engel & Volkers Westlake are the co-listing agents.

The 47-year-old Van Dien is known for his role as Johnny Rico in the science fiction film “Starship Troopers� (1997) as well as the movies “Tarzan and the Lost City� (1998) and “Sleepy Hollow� (1999). Last year, he appeared in the film parody “Avengers Grimm.�

Oxenberg, 54, had a recurring role on the soap opera “Dynasty� and the series “Watch over Me.� A year ago she had a part in the Syfy television movie “Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf.�
