I’ve seen a lot of unique offerings, but never a package deal like this…..A Malibu home for sale has come on the market for $44,000,000. That’s a big number for a bluff-side home on Point Dume considering I just sold a better, similar size lot for $11m just down the road. Last Thursday I had the chance to go check it out on caravan, held on Thursdays in Malibu.
What I found was an amazing, palatial estate of grand proportions perched above Big Dume bay. Read this MLS description and you’ll soon see what makes this Malibu homes for sale so special…..”INCLUDED IN THIS SALE IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND AUTO MUSEUM OF APPROX 7,000 SF. THIS ARCHITECTURAL ESTATE IS BEYOND COMPARE AND SURPASSES THE MOST DISCRIMINATING EXPECTATION. SITTING ON A DRAMATIC OCEAN BLUFF, THIS IMPRESSIVE HOME OPENS TO NEVER ENDING VIEWS OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN. THE 11,741 SF PROPERTY IS SUPPORTED BY A COMBINATION OF MASSIVE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS RISING OVER 40 FEET WHICH ARE IN TURN SOFTENED BY LAVISH FOLIAGE WEAVING ITS WAY UP TO A BACKYARD FILLED WITH DELIGHTFUL TRANQUILITY AND IMPRESSIVE VIEWS OF THE MALIBU COAST; THE OUTDOORS FEATURE A 62 FOOT ITALIAN GLASS-TILED POOL AND SEPARATE 18 FOOT SPA WITH AUTOMATIC OZONE CLEANING SYSTEMS. INTERIOR INCLUDES A PROFESSIONAL SCREENING ROOM, TOP-OF-THE-LINE CHEF’S KITCHEN, TRAVERTINE FLOORING, AND SPECTACULAR MASTER SUITE. CEILINGS ARE 14 FEET TALL, AND THROUGHOUT THE HOME THERE ARE FLOOR-TO-CEILING GLASS DOORS, WHICH PROVIDE A BEAUTIFUL AND SEAMLESS TRANSITION BETWEEN THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR.”
Did you catch the part where a 7000 sq.ft. auto museum comes with the purchase? That’s right, you get another home on Point Dume that was designed just to house a car collection. While I was in the main house I heard every agent make the same comment…..”Did you see the cars?”
I ran over the other house and my oh my……not just any car collection but a stable of honest to goodness real exotic race cars. Check out the pics below.
A Cliff May mid-century hit the Malibu real estate market last night. The home, located in Bonsall Canyon, came on the market at $2,495,000 and has an ideal yard for kids with pool, large grassy areas, and mature sycamore trees for monkeying around. If you don’t know about Bonsall Canyon, let me just give you my local opinion…..it’s one of the nicest, most private canyons around and is a short stroll from the beach and close to Malibu schools. A well written description from the MLS…. “OCCASIONALLY A “TRULY SPECIAL” PROPERTY IS LISTED FOR SALE.THIS RESTORED CLASSIC MID-CENTURY SINGLE-STORY HOME DESIGNED BY ACCLAIMED ARCHITECT CLIFF MAY WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY;THE MOST MAGICAL BACKYARD YOU WILL EVER SEE.THE HOME OFFERS CLIFF MAY’S SIGNATURE FLOOR-TO-CEILING WINDOWS THAT SEAMLESSLY EMBRACE INDOOR–OUTDOOR LIVING WHILE EXPERIENCING THE BREATHTAKING & GATED ± ACRE LOT(APX 200 FT X 200 FT) TROPICALLY LANDSCAPED,TOWERING SYCAMORE TREES THAT ARE LIT AT NIGHT W/LED LIGHTS;CREATING A FAIRYTALE ATMOSPHERE(AN EVENING SHOWING IS A MUST).BRAND NEW POOL WITH WATERFALL,SPA & FIRE PIT & LOCATED ON ONE OF MALIBU’S MOST ACCLAIMED STREET OF BONSALL CYN;ACROSS THE STREET FROM ZUMA BEACH & AT THE END OF CUL-DE-SAC ARE HIKING,RUNNING & HORSE TRAILS OF THE SM MOUNTAINS.NEWER MAHOGANY HARDWOOD FLOORS,VIKING APPLIANCE KITCHEN,COPPER PLUMBING & NEWLY BUILT DETACHED OFFICE(NOT ACCOUNTED IN SQFT OF HOUSE).DON’T MISS SEEING THIS PROPERTY;IT WILL BE TALKED ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME.PRICED TO SELL!” Website Here
Warning! The home you are about to view is known to cause an increase in blood pressure, a rise in heart rate, and an uncontrollable desire to live on Malibu Road. There are unconfirmed reports that this home cures the need for Viagra. Consult your doctor or accountant after viewing if any symptoms start to appear. You must be 18 years old or older to view this home….
Architectural beach houses are sexy to begin with. Especially new ones filled with racey artwork, the coolest furnishings, and walls of glass showing nothing but blue ocean. Welcome to 21466 Malibu Road. …..my vote for Malibu’s sexiest beach house ever! The newly constructed home just hit the market last week at $15,995,000 and sits on 65 feet of frontage with a rare 6 bedroom floor plan. The home features dramatic walls of concrete and glass enhanced with exotic hardwoods and natural stone finishes. There is a flat panel control system, heated floors, swirling flame fireplaces, and numerous outdoor decks.
I’ve been in 100′s of Malibu beach house over the years and have never seen anything as cool as this. If you have young kids this house may not be for you. But, if you collect Italian sports cars, like to entertain, and want to ditch your special blue little pill, you may have found your next home.

Just ran a quick check and there are 30 properties on the short sale bank owned real estate list. The properties range from a $89,000 piece of land described here “REO. Watch the ships! This ocean and canyon unobstructed views will take your breath away! Land value – a recently built house was probably destroyed by fire. Old foundation and meters are ready for your new home to be build quickly! An estate property is being build across the street. Buyer to investigate all aspects of the property.” to a $6.9 chunk of dirt up on Kanan that is “A remarkable offering of 455 acres in a prime location – just minutes from the 101 and Malibu’s beaches. Located in the heart of Malibu Valley wine region, this acreage consists of seven lots and is out of the Coastal Commission’s jurisdiction. In addition, two of the seven parcels (totalling 51 acres) are zoned RR5 (Recreation Resort) which allows for non-residential uses. With a creek, mountain vistas, beautiful mature trees, roads, meadows, mixed zoning, subdivision possibilities”
The hottest deals right now are the condos. Prices are low enough that quickly converting the unit in to a Pepperdine rental should makes sense.
I see this all the time….A major Malibu estate goes on the market at a high price and the neighbor a few doors down says “Hey! If he can get that, I should get this!” and will list their home for sale. It’s not a bad idea either if one house looks like a great deal and the other is priced a lot higher.
That’s my guess with what happened with the two major bluff estates above Paradise Cove competing for buyers right now. The first property at 28060 PCH came on the Malibu real estate market a few month ago at $55m then took a $10m price chop (just imagine that conversation between the listing agent and owner). Just a few days ago the property at 27740 PCH, just a few lots down, came on the market at $42.5m. Both are on similar lots and have homes between 11,000 and 12,000 sq.ft. They are both trophy properties by Malibu standards and sit on some of the most expensive real estate on the planet.
You can bet buyers in that price range are going to be looking at both properties for sale. Both homes are distinctively different in styles so it will be interesting to see which one sells first. Which one do you think will sell faster, the Spanish estate at 28060 or the traditional home at 27740? Check out the photo tours and decide! Comments about the price?
Like to see either home for sale? Call 310 699 8428 for a showing but be prepared to prove you can actually afford the properties! Unless you are crazy famous, it’s going to take more than “Just Google me” to get in!
Point Dume real estate again seems to be the topic of many conversations these days. It has been the hot spot of activity within the Malibu Real Estate market this past year with numerous transaction taking place. Just listed minutes ago is a great estate located at 6730 Wildlife Road. I’ve spent some time at the property and it has always reminded me of the luxurious, Mexican Riviera type homes we’ve stayed at in Punta Mita. The Malibu home is offered at $5,950,000 and seconds from the beaches of Point Dume. From the MLS…..”Elegant and exquisite home on Point Dume. This home has beach keys as well as a private path down to Little Dume Beach. This property is gated and completely private surrounded by lush landscape. The home has undergone an extensive and complete remodel. All rooms, including the home theater have walls of glass. Guest house, guest apt, tennis court and pool.

So last week I tried to give the readers of Malibu Real Estate blog a little heads up on a smashingly great Point Dume Home that was coming on the market. Well, it’s officially listed now! New to the Malibu real estate market is a home in Wildlife Road located on Point Dume. I spent about 2 hours at the property last week and gotta tell you a few of the great things about it.
It has beach key and a permit issued for a new 6000 plus sq.ft. home
It is a short walk both to the shores of Little Dume or to the steps of Point Dume Marine Since Elementary
The recently remodeled ranch home is charming and ready to be enjoyed
the 1.25 acre lot feels like 3 acres…there are huge areas a flat land to do whatever you want with
It is one of the few lots that has access on both Wildlife Road and Fernihll
So here is the low down on the high end…..
Point Dume has been the hottest sections of real estate this past year. I’m not going to mention names, but if you are “in the know”, you’ll be aware of several large celebrity transactions that have taken place over the years on Wildlife. It is arguably one of the best roads on Point Dume to be on and others have paid big numbers to be there.

A home seller in Malibu has come up with a very unique and creative way of bringing attention to the sale of his home….he’s throwing in his red Ferrari F40. The iconic Italian sports car has less than 800 miles on it and only 1315 production models ever rolled off the factory floor in Maranello, Italy. The car was originally offered at $400k, though some buyers were willing to pay a bit more to possess this stellar sports model…up to $1.6m! The F40 was the first ever legal production car to exceed 200 mph. A Japanese Ferrari dealer once filmed himself hitting 201 mph only to be arrested after he sold a videotape to an undercover policeman. Bail probably wasn’t a problem, he had already sold 10,000 of the videos. The only catch on securing the car is that the home for sale must be purchased before 6-30-2010.
Oh, and about the house! The home’s asking price is $4,399,333.00 and it has expansive ocean views on half an acre. There are 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and close to 6000 sq.ft. of living space. There is a pool, room to park 13 cars, and is less than a minute walk from the beaches along Encinal Bluffs. The house across the street is asking $49m! Call for a showing of the car or house! 310 699 8428

Seeing that there were over 1000 page views on the blog today I’m going to break a story that I was trying to hold off on. I’ve got a new listing in Malibu, maybe, one of the nicest homes ever to be offered on the market. I’m working on the website now but will show a pic below. Here’s the news…The listing was given to myself and David Findley of Partners Trust because we absolutely understand, no, live, breathe, eat, and preach the real estate marketing revolution that is taking place online. We have 20-30 “new school” ideas, web marketing methods, and social media tools that separate us from the Realtorsaurus types mentioned here. One tool is Twitter. Not going to reveal too much here but if you want to watch what we will be doing, I’m going to invite you right now to follow the listing @villacascata. Watch, learn, and understand how Twitter is more than just a few words about what kind of coffee you are drinking.
