About This Home

Set on a plateau above Bonsall Canyon in Malibu, this extraordinary property offers an abundance of natural light and captures stunning mountain and ocean views. Spanning four level acres, the estate epitomizes the art of modern architecture and design. Conceived by visionary architect Ed Niles, FAIA, this iconic residence is a striking example of architectural innovation. Surrounded by breathtaking vistas of mountains, canyons, and the shimmering Pacific Ocean, the property offers complete seclusion, accessible via dual gated entries for a truly private retreat. Unlike conventional coastal designs, this 7,200-square-foot masterpiece seamlessly blends concrete, steel, and expansive glass walls in a unique structure crowned by a dramatic wing-shaped butterfly roof. This bold architectural statement not only makes a striking visual impression but also integrates the residence harmoniously with its lush surroundings. Additionally, 1,500 square feet of cantilevered stone terraces enhance the indoor-outdoor flow, providing captivating viewpoints from every angle. The home's sophisticated interiors are a celebration of refined tranquility. Italian marble floors, custom hand-painted pillars, and a subtle coastal palette complement the abundant natural light, creating an atmosphere that is both serene and inviting. Six distinct wings extend from a central hall, each offering a unique character and relationship to the surrounding landscape. From the soaring living room and peaceful study in one wing to the open great room with a gourmet kitchen, dining area, and family room, the layout encourages both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls throughout the home provide sweeping views of the infinity pool, surrounding gardens, and the rugged Malibu landscape, ensuring that every space is bathed in natural light. The primary suite, located in a private wing, features an opulent spa-inspired bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower, an Italian marble soaking tub, and spacious custom closets. Four additional bedrooms, each with remarkable views, offer luxurious accommodations for guests or family members. Designed for sophisticated outdoor living, the estate features a shimmering swimming pool, spa, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and BBQ area. A shaded dining pavilion offers the perfect setting for alfresco dining, while professional equestrian facilities complete with a 4-stall barn, a professional jumping arena, and ample pastures provide an unparalleled equestrian lifestyle. The property offers direct access to over 400 miles of scenic riding, hiking, and biking trails, or simply a short golf cart ride to Malibu's pristine beaches.With approved plans for two additional guest structures, this estate is a rare offering, embodying Malibu's spirit of architectural ingenuity, elegance, and natural beauty. This is more than just a home; it's a serene sanctuary and a landmark of modernist design in one of Southern California's most desirable settings.
