The Story
1045 Cold Canyon Road
Tucked into the heart of the Santa Monica Mountains, this enchanting Mediterranean estate is a rare sanctuary where luxury and nature exist in perfect harmony. Set on 2.8 private acres along an exclusive gated lane in Monte Nido, shared with only two other prestigious estates, this serene retreat is close to acres of parkland and miles of trails - yet just minutes from iconic Malibu beaches. The setting is truly magical. Sweeping panoramic mountain views glow gold at sunset, while morning clouds roll gently over the ridgelines. A seasonal creek winds through the property, framed by mature oaks, California sycamores, citrus, and plum trees. Hummingbirds flit through the gardens, hawks soar above, and fish glisten in the entry fountain, creating a peaceful connection to nature. A grand courtyard entry opens to a warm, refined interior with soaring ceilings, Murano hand-blown glass lighting, and wide-plank hand-skived white oak floors throughout. The living room flows seamlessly to a large view terrace for indoor-outdoor living, while the elegant dining room features sculptural lighting inspired by Venice's sky and sea. The light-filled kitchen overlooks the mountains and BBQ terrace and features an island, Thermador appliances, and a cozy seating area with TV. The main-level primary suite is a tranquil retreat with pool and spa views, a spa-like bath with soaking tub and separate shower, and a walk-in closet. A second bedroom or office and full bath complete the main level. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms with stunning views, two full baths, a laundry room, and extra storage. Thoughtfully upgraded with premium systems and finishes, the home is conveniently located near Calabasas shopping, the 101, and within the award-winning Las Virgenes School District, close to Viewpoint, Muse, and Pepperdine University. A peaceful mountain escape offering refined living, natural beauty, and effortless access to the coast without the pace of city life.
