Orlando Bloom has put his Hollywood home up for rent at $18,000 a month.
The 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' actor has put his estate in the Hollywood Hills - which he bought in 2007 - up for lease after his wife, model Miranda Kerr, gave birth to their first son on January 9.
The listing for the house, built in 1940, shows it as a four-bedroom, three-bathroom property with more than 3,200 square feet of living space. It is set behind the road behind thick wooden gates and has a heavily-landscaped three-quarters of an acre garden.
The house was one of a number of properties burgled in 2009 by the 'Bling Ring Gang', a group of affluent, mostly teenage burglars who targeted and the homes of celebrities including Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox.
Former reality TV star Alexis Neiers, considered the ringleader of the group, was sentenced to 180 days in prison last June after pleading no contest to a single count of first-degree residential burglary of the home.
It is not known where Orlando and Miranda, 27, plan to live now they have a family, but before they consider that they have a more pressing task to complete - naming their baby.
Orlando's mother Sonia Bloom recently revealed: "They are both absolutely ecstatic. I am beyond happy. They have a list of names and he tells me they are struggling to choose one."
