His family plans have changed

-

Keenen Ivory Wayans is ready to give up the dream in Malibu. The actor and filmmaker has listed for sale at $9.995 million a 7-acre lot where he once planned to build.

The three-parcel property sits on the land side of Pacific Coast Highway and overlooks the heart of Broad Beach. The acreage is mostly flat, park-like and offers panoramic ocean views, according to listing agents Rick Hilton and Rodrigo Iglesias of Hilton & Hyland.

“It’s elevated enough to see the entire beach and ocean,” Iglesias said. “The coastline views are

spectacula­r.”

Wayans had intended to build a family compound with an 11,000square-foot main house, a 5,600square-foot guesthouse and equestrian facilities but decided not to go forward with the project, according to Iglesias.

Wayans, 59, is one of 10 siblings and has five children. He gained fame in the late 1980s as the writer, director and star of the parody-comedy “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka.” In the ’90s, he created and hosted the sketch-comedy series “In Living Color,” which featured other members of the Wayans family as well as Jim Carrey, David Alan Grier and Jamie Foxx.

More recently, Wayans served as a judge on the comedy competitio­n series “Last Comic Standing.”

He acquired the parcels more than a decade ago in separate transactio­ns, records show.
