Pamela Anderson lived a full-fledged cottage life in her native Canada, and she paid big bucks to get there.
The “Baywatch” icon, 59, gave fans a new look at her rambling Vancouver Island estate this week in a video that plays like a slow-motion catalog shoot.
The clip opens with Anderson throwing on a cozy sweater over her dress on the sunroom before heading outside with her dog. She cuts a handful of flowers from the garden, then settles in with a dog-eared favorite, “Amor and Psyche: The Psychic Development of the Feminine.”
“I’ve read this book so many times,” she told viewers.
Between the pages was a small card with a reassuring message. “There is nothing to worry about,” we read.
“That’s true,” Anderson replied.
She also showed off her woven garden basket, filled with pruning shears, her glasses and a jar of moisturizer from Sonsie, her vegan skincare brand.
“I love the garden after the rain,” she said before ending the morning with a sunrise walk on her dock.
The fans ate it up. “Dream life. Pam knows what’s going on,” one commenter wrote.
“Pamela are you living in a Nora Ephron movie and please can you adopt me and bring me here,” another wrote.
“I like to pretend this is the life Marilyn would have had if she had the chance to grow old 🥺🥲,” another commenter said.
The postcard-worthy spread is in Ladysmith, British Columbia, the small coastal town where Anderson was born. His grandparents purchased the approximately 6-acre parcel in the 1950s, according to the Vancouver Sun, and Anderson purchased it from them in the early 1990s.
She didn’t return permanently until 2019. Today, the property is home to a main house nicknamed “The Roadhouse,” the cabin where she spent her childhood, rose and vegetable beds, a generous porch, and a long private pier.
Funding the return home was a nice payday for Malibu. Anderson paid about $1.8 million for his beachfront lot in 2000 and spent about ten years building a home on it. She put the house on the market in March 2021 with Compass agent Tomer Fridman for $14.9 million and closed six months later at $11.8 million.
That’s a split of about $10 million on the land price alone, before construction costs.
The Canadian remake has become must-see TV. Her Hulu series “Pamela’s Garden of Eden” follows her departure from Hollywood and her mission to restore the family land her grandmother once held.
“When I got home, I said to myself, ‘I’m going to rewrite my life and I’m going to start with this property.’ And it became like an art project. It really took my heart and soul,” she told Today.
The work had a romantic side. The project was led by Vancouver designer Francesca Albertazzi, and one of the team’s builders, Dan Hayhurst, ended up marrying Anderson. The couple married on the property on Christmas Eve 2020, but they separated just over a year later, with Anderson filing for divorce in Canada.
These days, she seems perfectly content to fly solo.
“I was really happy to spend this year alone with my dogs, my vegetables, the trees and the ocean,” she said.
Anderson, who shares sons Brandon and Dylan with ex-husband Tommy Lee, said life on the island was always the end game.
“I feel more settled at my sustainable ranch on Vancouver Island, with space to rescue more animals. It’s still oceanfront. A foot from the water — and I’m lost,” Anderson told the Post, but added that she would miss her boys who still live in the United States.
“I think I’ve been really spoiled. When you grow up on the beach, you expect it every morning. You expect those mornings,” she told the Vancouver Sun.
“I always knew I would come back here. I always knew that if I had this place, I would keep a little of my sanity and a little of my feet on the ground.”
