Western Malibu is characterized by its rural character, serenity, and separation without isolation. Set on 2.8 acres atop a Malibu bluff, this extremely private former Disney Seaside compound leads down to a private, secluded cove by El Matador Beach. Architected toward the horizon, the only thing visible from Pacific Coast Highway is the entry gate, which winds gently down to a motor court and three-car garage. A quiet, grassy front courtyard reveals a thoughtfully configured, six-bedroom main residence. Ocean, coastline, and sunset views characterize the experience from every vantage point. The property is programmed for a life outdoors, with a large terrace, private patios, and a flat grassy pad that envelops the pool and jacuzzi. A driveable road, lined by a detached gym and several private seating and dining areas along the way, connects the lower section of the property to its top. The guest cottage is sun-washed and fully equipped, with the nearby waves as its soundtrack. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, vaulted-beamed ceilings, and walls of glass, it serves as a retreat of its own. Built-in steps down to the sand add to the rarefied nature of a property that could not be permitted again. The primary suite is equipped with a fireplace, sitting room, dual bathrooms, and closets. A property like this is built for both entertaining and disappearing entirely. Without easy nearby public access and given the natural topography, rare sites like this deliver, in effect, a private beach. Completely furnished. Peak season rate of $150,000/month.
