Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A gated compound set above the Pacific, this Malibu house is built around stone archways, soaring wooden beams, and walls of glass that frame canyon and ocean panoramas from nearly every room. Wake up in the main bedroom to a pink-sky horizon over the water, then take that same view from the covered terrace over morning coffee. Come evening, the resort-style pool glows with ambient light, while a hot tub and multiple alfresco lounge spaces make this a strong choice for a larger group. When you're ready to hit the sands, Zuma Beach is less than half an hour's walk away.

Appearing about twenty minutes after you’ve left Santa Monica behind, once-sleepy-seaside-town Malibu is now known for celebrity homes and super-yachts. Don’t let this reputation put you off however – the stretch of highway is home to some of LA’s...
