Kanye West Selling Malibu Pad For $53 Million ... After Gutting The Place

Kanye West will no longer be tied down to the Malibu beach home he bought for tens of millions of dollars only to totally gut it ... he just put it on the market with a celeb realtor.

Ye is asking for $53 million for the beachfront home he bought a couple years ago for $57 million ... and 'Selling Sunset' star Jason Oppenheim has the listing.

This is the place Kanye was remodeling with famous architect Tadao Ando ... and it's also at the center of a lawsuit.

The Malibu mansion is huge at 4,000 square feet but there's a catch ... Kanye's renovation gutted the property, removing all the home's windows and electricity.

As we reported ... Kanye is being sued by the former project manager who was overseeing the remodel ... and the guy says they had a huge falling out over Ye's insistence on ripping out plumbing, electrical and HVAC.

Jason tells TMZ ... "The interior finishes have been removed, and this creates an unbelievably rare opportunity to buy a Picasso on the water with the ability to restore it to your own specific standards, with modern technology and excellence."

While there's a lot of work needed, the home is smack in the middle of Malibu and right on the water's edge ... so it's sure to get a lot of interest.
