California, Los Angeles County, Malibu, USA

Perched atop its own private Malibu mountaintop, this gated estate commands what is arguably one of the most extraordinary views along the Southern California coasta vast, unobstructed panorama stretching from Palos Verdes and Catalina Island to the sun setting beyond Point Dume, while the dramatic peaks and ancient rock formations of Saddle Peak rise behind the property. A long private driveway climbs above the world below, passing a secluded two-bedroom guesthouse near the entrance before arriving at the approximately 5,500 sq ft main residence. One of Malibu's rare homes to rise three full stories from ground level, the residence was conceived around a dramatic central staircase that creates a striking architectural centerpiece and connects its expansive living spaces. Below, a fourth underground basement level offers an additional realm of possibilities for a wine cellar or private entertaining space. The property is also being run by solar panels and well water allowing you the potential to live completely off grid. Surrounded by ocean, mountains, and changing coastal light, Valle Lindo is more than a home, it is a private sanctuary suspended above Malibu, where sunrise illuminates the mountains and each evening ends with the sun disappearing into the Pacific.
