Rare legacy estate in one of Malibu's most sought-after enclaves is defined by three elements: dramatic ocean views, exceptional architectural integrity, and grounds that rival the finest coastal resorts. This gated residence delivers on all fronts. From its vantage point in Sierra Retreat, one of Malibu's most storied enclaves, this commanding Mediterranean-style estate surveys the Pacific coastline and iconic waters that have drawn generations of discerning residents to these exclusive hills. Encompassing over an acre, the resort-style 6,533-sq. ft. residence stands as a masterwork of Old World craftsmanship reimagined for the California coast. A cobblestone driveway winds past towering hedges and cultivated gardens, arriving at the motor court. The residence's facade, with terracotta roof tiles and arched windows, establishes an immediate connection to European architectural heritage. As you enter, the interiors showcase a mastery of refined design. The formal living room centers on a grand European imported stone fireplace, while the adjacent formal dining room provides a sophisticated setting for gatherings. The lower level presents a comprehensive entertainment suite, featuring a movie theater, wet bar, and temperature-controlled wine cellar, while a dedicated office provides an inspired work environment. In the chef's kitchen, a La Cornue range and Flamberge rotisserie anchor the space, complemented by an expansive marble island beneath stylish tray ceilings. The adjoining wood-beamed family room flows effortlessly to the grounds through custom-fabricated wrought iron and glass French doors. Ascending the grand stone staircase to the upper level reveals a magnificent primary suite, accompanied by three additional bedrooms on this floor. Double doors open to a sweeping sanctuary where floor-to-ceiling windows frame unobstructed ocean vistas. A private balcony extending the width of the suite offers a front-row view to Malibu's legendary sunrises and sunsets. The sitting room, complete with a stone fireplace, provides an intimate space for morning coffee or evening reflection. The spa-inspired bathroom offers a serene retreat, with a sculptural stone soaking tub as its centerpiece, complemented by a steam shower and antique silver-plated sink basins. Custom-designed closets fitted with specialized storage complete this exceptional retreat. Outside, the grounds rival any world-class resort. An imported mosaic-tiled pool and spa are complemented by a spacious lounge and outdoor kitchen covered by a pergola. A greenhouse reimagined as a light-filled fitness pavilion overlooks a championship-sized tennis court. Terraced Italianate gardens, punctuated by stone pathways and flowering plants, cascade down the hillside. A separate guest house provides additional accommodations with direct ocean views, ideal for visiting guests. Moments from Carbon Beach and set against the backdrop of the Santa Monica Mountains, this estate resides in Sierra Retreat - an exclusive community of just 100 homes, where winding roads thread past centuries-old sycamores and fragrant eucalyptus groves. The location offers both sanctuary and accessibility: Nobu, Soho House, and the Malibu Country Mart lie minutes away, while Los Angeles remains within reach. This rare offering in Serra Retreat presents an unparalleled coastal lifestyle where every detail has been curated for sophisticated living and gracious entertaining.
