About This Home

As of July 2023

Designed by the iconic Malibu Architect, Doug Rucker, this estate is nestled into the stone hills of Big Rock Mesa, Malibu. This unique property has been constructed in a way that makes an observer feel they have become a part of the Malibu landscape. Imagine arriving home to an entry walkway that beckons you to slow down and reconnect with nature as you are greeted by ocean vistas and majestic stone outcroppings. This re-centering of yourself into the natural environment was a driving element of the homes design. The sweeping views of Santa Monica Bay, Catalina and the "Queens Necklace" can be enjoyed from the main rooms on the entry floor including the primary bedroom with en suite bath, living room with fireplace, dining room with access to the wrap around deck and kitchen with butcher block counters. Down the spiral staircase are two additional bedrooms, bathroom and Sauna. A patio off the Lower floor bedrooms provides another secluded spot to enjoy the stunning panoramic vistas. This Mid Century property has been in the same family since 1979. Never offered for lease or sale before.
