Nestled atop a serene hill in Malibu, this architectural gem is a one-of-a-kind blend of modern design and Gothic inspiration by the renowned architect Harry Gesner. The home’s exceptional features, from its unique arched entryway to the soaring 30-foot ceilings in the great room, make it a visually captivating retreat. Handcrafted touches, eclectic furnishings, and a spacious, open fireplace invite you to relax and take in the panoramic Pacific Ocean views visible from nearly every room in the house. Each detail harmonizes to create an atmosphere of elegance and artistic flair, showcasing Malibu’s iconic coastal allure.

The property’s layout is as impressive as it is welcoming, with a grand staircase leading to an expansive great room where vaulted ceilings and stone mosaic flooring create a breathtaking gathering space. From this central room, you can access lush gardens, vast decks, and patios that surround the property, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the natural beauty outside. The three bedrooms, each with ocean views, offer private sanctuaries with access to the surrounding decks. A charming 1957 Airstream trailer nestled among the trees adds a whimsical touch and a quiet hideaway spot.

Outdoors, the pool area is perfect for unwinding with an adjoining spa and lounge areas that capture Malibu’s sun-kissed coastal charm. Surrounded by manicured gardens, the pool deck is an ideal spot for soaking up the sun, taking a refreshing dip, or enjoying evening gatherings under the starlit sky.
