LOS ANGELES _ Garth Brooks will have to find another spot to hang his cowboy hat.
The country music star and his wife, singer-actress Trisha Yearwood, have quietly sold their home in Malibu's Paradise Cove for $7 million in a deal completed outside the Multiple Listing Service.
The ranch-style house, built in 1958, sits on half an acre in a gated community with private beach access.
Remodeled nearly a decade ago, the home features vaulted and beamed ceilings, subdued hues and an open chef's kitchen. Skylights, clerestory windows and walls of glass invite natural light while opening the interior to the outdoors.
A family room with a brick fireplace, a formal living room, a breakfast nook, four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms lie within more than 4,200 square feet on a single story. The master suite has another fireplace and sets of French doors that open to the grounds.
Outdoors, there's plenty of patio space _ covered and uncovered _ as well as a stone fireplace, lawns and mature trees. A basketball half-court sits in a shaded corner.
The 54-year-old Brooks has won two Grammy Awards and is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. Among his most popular albums: "No Fences," "Ropin' the Wind" and "Double Live."
Yearwood, 51, has won Grammys for the songs "How Do I Live," "In Another's Eyes" and "I Fall to Pieces." As an actress, she has appeared on the series "JAG" and "Nashville."
The couple bought the house in 2008 for $4.95 million, records show.
