An Italian-inspired stunner that an actress once went into a great deal of debt to acquire is now looking for a new owner.
Mischa Barton, 37, bought this Beverly Hills home, located in the gated Bowmont Estates community, for $6.4 million in 2005, Page Six previously reported.
At the time, Barton was starring as Marissa Cooper on Fox’s hit TV show “The O.C.,” and took out a $4.2 million loan to purchase the six-bedroom, nine-bathroom California compound.
By 2010, though, she wanted to offload the 10,305-square-foot beauty — first trying to rent it out for $35,000 and later listing it for $8.9 million.
Then, in 2014, it was reported she’d missed more than $100,000 in back mortgage payments and was at risk of losing the 90210 ZIP code mansion to foreclosure.

The current seller is an LLC called LLK Secured.
The freshly listed residence is now seeking $9.99 million.
Aaron Kirman, Cindy Ambuehl and Daniel Milstein of AKG | Christie’s International Real Estate share the listing.
In addition to its coveted location and spicy celebrity connection, the manse, built in 2003, also boasts a home theater and two separate guest houses, each with one bedroom.
There are a total of four bedrooms in the main house.
The kitchen features dual ovens and dual sinks, as well as a marble island. The primary suite has a fireplace, a balcony and an ensuite bathroom with two steam showers and a soaking tub.
Out back, there’s a covered loggia, bougainvillea, Italian cypress, a covered lounging area and an in-ground lap pool.
The driveway has a car turntable and can fit eight cars.
“With beautiful rolling hills and abundant greenery throughout, this home feels like you are vacationing in northern Italy while being in the heart of Los Angeles,” said agent Milstein of the lush property.
