Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden put their beautiful $26m Beverly Hills compound up for sale

Movie star Cameron Diaz and punk rocker Benji Madden are trying to move on from their farmhouse compound in Beverly Hills, putting it up for sale for $17.8m (A$26.3m).

Four years ago, the married couple dropped $14.7m (A$21.7m) for the seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion that sits on a lush 1.6-acre lot. Diaz, who has taken a break from acting for six years, recently announced she’d be returning to the big screen.

The entrances to the property are gated, with a hi-tech discreet security system keeping watch over it all.

The ceilings are high beamed, and coffered, while French doors and fireplaces feature throughout.

While the double-height great room is light and bright, the mansion is anything but monochromatic, with the walls in the dining room a moody, textured copper colour, and the built-in cabinetry made of dark wood.

The impressive office also has a darker palette and impressive, dark cabinetry.

The home theatre is set up like with a plush lounge rather than formal seating, making it a homely place for the star pair to kick back and watch one of Diaz long list of feature films.
