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.

Kate Novotny from our Malibu Prudential Real Estate office has a great new listing on Malibu Road. The 5 bedroom beach house sits on a great section of  dry, sandy beach and is right near several great surf spots. Unique to this beach house is the grassy court yard and large ocean view guest above the garage. It sits a little bit further out than the neighboring homes and has incredible views of Point Dume.  The price is right too coming in at just under $8m. If you didn’t know already, Malibu Road has two things going for it that make it more preferable than other beach house areas: dry beach and no PCH noise like the homes south if the pier. Check out a few photos from the sunset shoot I took a few days ago during the Santa Ana’s. From the MLS “OPEN THURSDAY, NOV. 11TH, 9:30AM TO 2PM – LUNCH – WALLED AND GATED CONTEMPORARY HOME WITH COURTYARD ENTRANCE AND DETACHED GUEST HOUSE ON MUCH SOUGHT AFTER MALIBU ROAD.

There are some serious deals going down within the Malibu Real Estate market right now. Despite the public’s perception that nothing is moving, numerous high end Malibu  homes, beach houses, and ocean side lots listed for sale are either in escrow or have closed in the last 30 days. I think it’s a clear sign that buyer’s are seeing opportunities and are taking advantage of it. Across the board agents I know are reporting that showings on luxury homes are way up and that this is the busiest they’ve been in years.

There  are two beach homes for sale on Malibu Road that I’m saying are heading in to the “deal” category. I can’t give away to much info but I will say the both places are vacant and are owned by family members who want to see them sold. In other words, there’s not a whole lot of emotional attachment to the homes which gives you a better  chance at getting a good price. Call for a showing 310 699 8428

March is the month when summer  beach rentals and leases come on the Malibu Real Estate market. If you haven’t secured your beach rental by the middle of May you are likely to find yourself building sand castles in Mojave. I predict this year lease prices will be slightly lower than last years but the premium beaches like Broad Beach, The Colony, Carbon Beach, and Malibu Road, will still command high prices. Summer Rental prices on the low end will be around $10,000 and top at at $100,000 or more for the best beach houses. E-mail Me if you’d like a list of available rentals sent to you.

How can two Malibu beach houses, similar in size, beach frontage, and condition, located on the same road , AND just a few lots away from each other be priced $5,ooo,ooo or more apart? Answer: Beach Depth. Take the example below in the photo showing the Malibu Colony. There is one section “within the gates” and one section “outside the gated”  on Malibu Road. Notice the houses on the beach in the Colony that have wooden sea walls with stairs leading down to the sand. At high tide there will be no dry sand and a few waves might even bounce of the wall. Now take a look at the section where there is 20-60 feet of depth to it with dry sand. In this photo you can see where the last high tide came up to and how the residents of this section still had a dry sand beach to enjoy. That’s the  big difference and what can affect the price, in the millions, for a Malibu beach house.
