Introducing Malibu's exemplary modernist retreat, the ultimate in tranquility. This architectural gem is set on an exclusive promontory and designed to suit its spectacular setting overlooking Carbon Mesa and the Pacific. Surrounded by untouched terrain on over 12 pristine acres, this compound offers unparalleled privacy and unobstructed views of the ocean, Catalina, Channel Islands, and surrounding undeveloped canyons. Envisioned by renowned local designer Vitus Matare, this stylish enclave combines modern living in a peaceful mountain setting with inspiring spaces, creating a landmark retreat like no other. The property consists of four structures including the main house with a garage, pool house, detached carport, and a separate studio workspace. The primary residence provides an elegant balance of open areas for entertaining and zones offering privacy and tranquility with extensive views from every room. The entry connects to a multi-level atrium of vaulted wood ceilings contributing natural airflow of ocean breezes throughout the home. Style of the home is inspired by the work of Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe and finishes are minimalist. The home flows to an expansive covered patio with true panoramic views and an al fresco dining area. Native landscaping lines the path leading to a sun soaked pool and pool house creating a resort-like experience at your doorstep. The pool house also features its own separate entrance in addition to a full kitchen and laundry and was recently rated Number One Airbnb in Malibu by the L.A. Times Timeout Travel Section. Situated adjacent to the residence, a detached studio is ideal for a private workspace, gym or music studio in an inspiring ocean view setting. Organic fruit trees thrive on the property, including avocado, citrus, guava, and apricot. There is also a 2-car garage with a workshop area, a carport for three cars, and a long lushly landscaped driveway. The motor-court can provide parking for an additional seven vehicles. The adjoining open level pad could be developed with an ancillary structure, a second pool, pickleball court or raised gardens. This legacy property has been featured in both print and film, gracing the cover of Vogue and used as a primary location in Paul Schrader's "The Canyons." The sale includes the neighboring lot at 2620 Coal Canyon Road totaling approx. 8.79 acres and coveted access rights via the gated road on Rambla Pacifico, allowing access to PCH in just under 5 minutes. This is a one-of-a-kind property that cannot be duplicated, an exceedingly rare marvel in an unmatched Malibu setting!
