Actor Nick Nolte has put a Malibu compound up for sale that has seen a galaxy of stars come through its arched entryway.
Besides Nolte, other notables to have owned the house include comedian Tommy Chong, Don Felder of the Eagles and music producer David Foster.
Priced at $8.25 million and set in the Bonsall Canyon area, the two-acre retreat is covered with sycamore and pine trees. The main house, built in 1963, features 19-foot vaulted ceilings, skylights, six stone-and-carved-wood fireplaces, marble floors and mahogany French doors. There are four bedrooms including the master suite, which has its own sitting area, office and library, and two of the fireplaces.
The grounds also contain a two-bedroom, three-bathroom guesthouse, a tennis court and a lagoon-style pool.
Nolte, 72, will star in the upcoming film “The Impossible Dream.” His other films include “48 Hrs.” (1982), “Down and Out in Beverly Hills” (1986), “The Good Thief” (2003) and “Warrior” (2011).

A plot twist in Malibu
Soap star Drake Hogestyn is trying to sell the Malibu retreat where he has no doubt spent many days of his life.
Priced at $4.995 million and built in 2002, the Tuscan-style two-story features wood-beam ceilings, French doors, hardwood floors, decks and balconies. There are fireplaces in the living room, family room and master suite of the 6,616-square-foot house, which has five bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms. The grounds of about an acre include a circular driveway, a swimming pool, sycamore trees, fruit trees and an herb garden.
Hogestyn, 59, has been on “Days of Our Lives” since 1986, with a few breaks when he was supposedly killed off but then later returned to the show. Before that he was on the series “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” (1982-83).
The property was purchased in 2003 for $2.9 million, public records show.
Irene Dazzan-Palmer and Sandro Dazzan of Coldwell Banker’s Malibu Colony office are the listing agents.
