On The Market: Malibu, California
March 1, 2005
Malibu stretches for nearly 30 miles along the Pacific coast and offers
something for everyone—the deep, narrow beach lots of the Colony and Broad
Beach; the estate-sized spreads of Paradise Cove and the Encinal Bluffs; and the
hillside perches above the canyons that wind from the Pacific Coast Highway
toward the Santa Monica Mountains. Although the last do not enjoy the immediacy
of the ocean, they afford especially spectacular views.; function voidFunc() { } voidFunc();)
Located on a 10-acre
ridgetop high above Trancas Canyon, this residence is no exception. Designed as
three rectangular volumes connected by two towers, the main house features
design elements such as the master bedroom’s retractable roof and a 12-foot, cantilevered concrete fireplace that separates the living areas. Both a
media room and an office on the lower level can be converted to secondary
bedrooms. The grounds include a swimming pool and two ponds that surround a
complex of three studios notable for their roll-up glass walls. There is also a
one-bedroom guesthouse. A Crestron computer system controls lighting, security
and entertainment systems throughout the property. An adjacent 10-acre lot is
also available for purchase. (Click image to enlarge)
