For the ultimate in privacy, security and seclusion paired with luxury and great design, there are few better examples for sale than the estate on the bluffs of the world-renowned Paradise Cove Beach in Malibu, California.
Encompassing just over six and one-half acres, the property includes 339′ of beach frontage. To access the beach from the top of the bluff, where the house is located, a private staircase descends the slope; along the way are an outdoor shower and a hut for storing surfboards and kayak paddles. The sandy beach itself is a plus: rocks mark some of the popular Malibu beaches. From the house itself, there are incomparable views of the famed ‘Queen’s Necklace’ from Palos Verdes to Pt. Dume, and looking southwestward, there are beautiful views of Catalina Island.
The house is surrounded by patios and terraces.

A great feature of the landscaping is its maturity: the palm trees are statuesque and imposing, vines and shrubbery clamber prettily over walls and pergolas and deciduous trees are picturesque with massive gnarled trunks and branches.
Both the mudroom and laundry room are conveniently located within the estate. Surrounding the property are ten- to twenty-foot tall walls and fences for the ultimate privacy and security. The access to the house is via private road.
