Shari Belafonte catapults castle onto the market

Shari Belafonte’s home is a castle. And she has just listed her unusual home in the Box Canyon area at $1.26 million, The Times has confirmed.

The distinctive residence, built in 1956 and called — appropriately — the Castle, is described as a cliff-top “feudal fortress” on Realtor.com.

Set on six acres, the 3,465-square-foot home features steeply pitched roofs, three fireplaces, a turret gym (perhaps a modern take on a torture chamber), three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a breezeway that leads to a covered patio. There is a swimming pool.

Actress-model-singer Belafonte, 59, is the daughter of singing legend Harry Belafonte. Her work in television includes a regular role in the 1980s series “Hotel.”

Jane Kellard of Westside Estate Agency’s Malibu office is the listing agent.
