LIAM PAYNE RE-LISTS SECLUDED CALABASAS ESTATE WITH $1 MILLION DISCOUNT: Former One Direction singer Liam Payne has chopped the asking price of a sprawling compound tucked into the rugged mountains between Calabasas and Malibu, California, by $1 million, bringing the price down from $14 million to just a hair under $13 million. Payne purchased the resort-style compound in the fall of 2015 for exactly $10 million. The estate is also available as a rental rate of $40,000 per month. There are a total of five bedrooms and eight bathrooms between the main house and the almost 4.75-acre compound’s handful of outbuildings that include a guardhouse, a detached garage, two guesthouses, a fitness pavilion and a Japanese-inspired tea house/meditation pavilion perched atop a serene knoll next to a koi pond.
