Perched at 1,600 feet above sea level adjacent to Malibus serene Sycamore Canyon and the towering Sandstone Peak, this private estate offers an extraordinary blend of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and modern comfort. Technically located in unincorporated Ventura County, the property carries a Malibu zip code and embodies the peaceful, untamed spirit of the area. Set on over 8 acres of stunning California landscape, this 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home offers 2900 square feet of living space, over 1000 square feet of garage space. Stone pavers extend from the south entry in an extraordinary design that complements the surrounding landscape. This sanctuary is the perfect place to take in the views of Anacapa Island and the mountain peaks above. The structure is built into excavated rock, with 12 inch concrete retaining walls and 10 foot ceilings making it both elegant and durable. Large windows and open living spaces invite in natural light and uninterrupted views of rugged peaks, native oak and sycamore trees, and an abundance of local wildlife. At night, the starry skies here are nothing short of breathtaking. Enjoy all the comforts of home, including air conditioning, a utility room, a recreation room, an oversized garage with a store room, and a bonus space ideal for a wine cellar or home brewing, thanks to consistently moderate temperatures year round. A water softener and reverse osmosis system are already in place for exceptional water quality. Built for true independence, the property features an inexhaustible private well, propane, septic system, and auxiliary generator. Currently there is no solar, but there is plenty of space imagine a home completely off the grid. Defensible space certification and strategically placed high powered 1.5" water hoses located at three corners of the property provide added peace of mind. Built in 2004, the Spanish clay tile roof and paved driveway are in excellent condition. The property is home for 31 oak trees, 3 sycamore trees, and an incredible four season show put on by the many native species of flora. This is your opportunity to live immersed in nature without sacrificing comfort or security.
