Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Situated high in the mountains above Malibu overlooking untouched mountainous parkland, this home really is something to marvel at. Organically hidden amongst the greenery of the mountainside, you'll feel at one with nature. California culture is all about embracing outdoor living, and that's exactly what you'll be doing here. Whether you want to hike around Santa Monica Mountains National Nature Reserve (a twenty-two-minute drive) or stay put at this wonderful home, you'll be able to admire the beauty of this Los Angeles region from wherever you are. Each room in the house provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape, but it's the 3000sqf patio that is the star of the show. Feel like a contestant on Love Island as you lounge on the daybeds and splash around in the pool during the afternoon, before retreating to the outdoor bar for a pina colada followed by an evening spent warming up around the fire pit. Despite being in the serenity of the mountains, the great thing about this home is that it's only a ten-minute drive from central Malibu, where you'll be able to admire its incredible homes and white sandy beaches. Maybe you'll even spot a celeb or two!
