Justin Baldoni has quietly listed his 10-acre California estate for $8.88 million, a move that comes as his legal dispute with Blake Lively advances toward a civil trial now scheduled for May 2026. The timing has drawn attention as Lively seeks $161 million in damages over allegations tied to the production of It Ends With Us.
The sale does not constitute an admission of liability, but it places a significant personal asset into play while Baldoni's professional and financial standing is under scrutiny. Real estate and legal records show the Ojai property was listed as the lawsuit remains active and unresolved.
According to the listing, the property includes a 5,200-square-foot Mediterranean-style main residence with five bedrooms, set on 10 acres near the Topa Topa Mountains. The estate also features a tiny house, a "yoga dome," and a "guest dome," structures marketed as part of a broader wellness-oriented retreat concept.
Marketing materials emphasize health-focused upgrades and amenities, including a "state-of-the-art medical-grade air filtration system," electromagnetic frequency shielding around the primary bedroom, and a saltwater pool. Additional features include a regenerative orchard, pickleball and basketball courts, a custom gym, walking paths, EV charging stations, and a private well.
Baldoni and his wife, Emily Baldoni, purchased the property in 2020 for $2.2 million and subsequently undertook a multi-year renovation, according to real-estate disclosures. The estate was previously offered as a high-end rental at $40,000 per month before being listed for sale, Realtor reported.
The property's repositioning comes as Baldoni prepares for extended litigation. Lively's lawsuit alleges she was sexually harassed during filming and later subjected to retaliation. Baldoni has denied the claims and has mounted his own legal response, turning the dispute into one of the most closely watched celebrity legal battles currently moving through California courts.
A judge overseeing the case postponed the trial to May 2026, citing court scheduling constraints. The delay lengthens the period in which both parties operate under legal and reputational pressure, with each filing and procedural development closely followed by industry observers.
Legal analysts note that high-value asset sales often occur during prolonged civil disputes for reasons ranging from liquidity management to risk planning. While no court filings link the property sale directly to the lawsuit, the overlap has fueled speculation about financial positioning ahead of a potentially costly legal fight.
