About this property
Set on a bluff above Broad Beach, this Balinese-inspired compound spans nearly one usable acre, offering sweeping ocean views, resort-style grounds, a pool and spa, detached guest house, and a true multi-structure layout. Tucked behind gates and mature hedging, the property unfolds as a private retreat. A custom Indonesian entry leads into a tranquil courtyard with a terraced lawn, flowing water feature, and reflection pool - setting a calm, grounded tone from the start. Inside, light-filled spaces feature bamboo floors, exposed beams, warm wood accents, and vaulted ceilings. The main living areas flow seamlessly into the dining and family room, all oriented toward the coastline. While the property is well-maintained and move-in ready, it offers an opportunity for thoughtful updates or personalization over time. The kitchen sits at the center of the home, featuring a large island, updated appliances, and direct access to a wide wood sundeck an ideal setting for gatherings both large and small. The entire upper level is dedicated to the primary suite, complete with a fireplace, ocean views, walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with a steam shower and soaking tub positioned toward the horizon. On the main level, three guest bedrooms plus an office provide flexibility without compromising privacy. The grounds are idyllic, featuring a 60-foot heated pool and spa, fire pit, and meticulously landscaped gardens with mature fruit and citrus trees throughout. A detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest house with its own private deck sits apart from the main residence, while a separate media/game room and pool house includes a lounge, powder room, and recording studio. Additional features include smart home integration, DoorBird entry, a two-car garage, and ample driveway parking. Just moments from Broad Beach and Trancas Country Market, this is a rare opportunity to own a private compound with scale, views, and upside in Western Malibu.
