Design-forward mountain retreat with sweeping ocean-to-mountain views. Set on approximately 2 acres in the Santa Monica Mountains near Malibu's County Line, this modern residence offers privacy with easy access to iconic surf breaks and trailheads. Rebuilt in 2023, the approximately 3,200 sq. ft. home - designed by architect Sara Laws with interiors by Malibu Market & Design - pairs clean architectural lines with natural warmth and resilient construction. The home features 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms across two levels, with flexible en-suite layouts and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Expansive Fleetwood steel doors and windows open the residence to its surrounding landscape, while oak hardwood floors, 10-foot ceilings, and a Lutron lighting and shade system create a cohesive, refined interior. The kitchen is both functional and elevated, appointed with custom Italian cabinetry, Dekton stone surfaces, an eat-in island, and a full suite of Thermador appliances. Outdoor living unfolds across Garapa hardwood decks with a cedar hot tub, gas fire pit, and mini putting green, along with a detached office/studio featuring an outdoor shower. The approximately 1,400 sq. ft. upper deck offers a commanding vantage point over the surrounding landscape. The home is supported by modern systems and infrastructure, including Sonos wiring, Starlink connectivity, an integrated security system, fire-resistant construction, upgraded water systems, solar backup batteries, and drought-tolerant landscaping. A rare balance of design, privacy, and setting in one of Malibu's most naturally connected environments.
