About This Home

As of May 2026

Perched above the Malibu coastline, this newly built architectural residence offers sweeping ocean views and complete privacy in a serene hillside setting. Fully furnished and designed for seamless indoor outdoor living, the home is ideally suited for executive relocation, seasonal use, or short term coastal stays.
The main living spaces unfold as a single, open composition oriented toward the ocean. Floor to ceiling sliding glass doors create a seamless transition to the terrace, allowing indoor and outdoor areas to function as one continuous space. Warm natural materials including wide plank wood flooring, custom white oak millwork, and refined Italian stone surfaces bring balance and texture to the home’s modern design.
At the center, a sleek, design forward kitchen anchors the space, featuring a sculptural Calacatta marble island, integrated Thermador appliance suite, and a pocket window that opens directly to the ocean facing terrace, enhancing both light and airflow. Every element has been thoughtfully executed, reflecting a level of craftsmanship and intention rarely found in new construction.
Designed for both privacy and ease, the residence offers four ensuite bedrooms on a single level, each curated with a calm, understated palette. The primary suite serves as a quiet retreat, opening directly to the outdoors and framing uninterrupted ocean views. Roman clay wall finishes add warmth and depth, while the spa like bath includes a soaking tub, dual vanities, and a dedicated beauty area.
Outdoor living is equally compelling. An infinity edge pool and spa overlook the coastline, complemented by multiple lounge areas, a covered dining space, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and BBQ. Whether hosting or unwinding, the setting offers a sense of privacy enhanced by thoughtful landscaping and soft ambient lighting in the evening.
The home is fully equipped with a Lutron system for lighting, shades, and climate, along with a multi zone Sonos audio system, blending modern convenience with a clean, unobtrusive design. Additional details include antique brass engraved switches, a statement rain chandelier by a renowned glass designer, touch control blackout shades in the primary suite, and carefully curated designer furnishings throughout.
Located in the desirable Malibu Park neighborhood, the property offers convenient access to the coastline, with beaches and the Trancas Country Market area approximately a 20 minute walk away.
