Heath Ldger and his ex-girlfriend, Michelle Williams, bought it in August 2005 for $2.1 million and lived there until the birth of their daughter, Matilda, in 2007. After Heath Ledger’s death in 2008, the home was sold for $2.5 million and was again re-listed for $2.995 million after it bounced off the real estate market for some time.

It has over 2,000 square feet of outdoor living area, which also includes multiple decks that are hidden by the trees.
