Hot Property: Scott Gillen lists Malibu house for $5,475,000

Speed is the heart and soul of Scott Gillen’s life, and the producer-director of the popular motorcycle lifestyle show “Build or Bust” no doubt hopes his Malibu house will sell with it as well.

Gillen has listed his midcentury modern at $5,475,000. It has a brand new 60-foot lap pool and sits on a private acre lot with ocean and sunset views. Built in 1958, the one-story house has four bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms in 5,462 square feet. There are three fireplaces.

Gillen started his career as a stuntman and quickly made a name for himself by flipping cars and doing maneuvers that likely gave his mother heartburn.

His career evolved into producing and directing car commercials before he added TV shows to his resume. In 2005, he launched “Build or Bust” on the Speed channel; last year, he followed it with his reality show “Setup,” where 12 teams of amateur race car drivers compete for a chance to win $100,000. Vroom, vroom.

Eytan Levin of Bentzen Levin Real Estate, Malibu, is the listing agent.
