The Story
2315 Live Oak Meadows Road
A striking expression of Southern California modernism, 2315 Live Oak Meadows Road is a rare architectural residence designed by Finn Kappe, set on an acre in the secluded hills of eastern Malibu. Framed by mature oaks and canyon terrain, the glass-wrapped home offers an exceptional sense of privacy, light, and connection to nature-while remaining remarkably accessible, just a six-minute drive down Las Flores Canyon to PCH, Malibu's beaches, and the area's most sought-after dining and lifestyle destinations. Walls of glass, dramatic volumes, and layered indoor-outdoor spaces define the home's architecture. Natural light moves throughout the residence, capturing canyon and hillside views and reinforcing a seamless dialogue between the interior and its natural surroundings. Multiple terraces, decks, and outdoor living areas extend the home into the landscape, creating an environment that feels both expansively open and deeply private. The residence is currently configured as two bedrooms and three bathrooms, arranged in an open, modern layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The main living spaces are anchored by a custom Arclinea kitchen with bespoke Gaggenau appliances and a sculptural marble block island, opening directly to a custom deck and outdoor entertaining areas. Concrete floors with radiant heat, integrated lighting, and immersive audio-visual systems support a refined yet relaxed living experience. The home underwent a comprehensive down-to-the-studs renovation in 2018, preserving its architectural integrity while integrating modern systems and curated finishes. Improvements include commercial-grade glazing throughout, a new roof, new electrical and plumbing systems, all-new septic plumbing, re-imagined bathrooms with custom slab and tile work, custom interior and exterior railings, an oversized pivot entry door, a full Lutron lighting system, a dedicated home theater, embedded speakers, and dual-zone HVAC. All interior and exterior wood surfaces were professionally sanded and re-stained. The fully fenced acre features a gated drive, landscaped grounds, and a collection of mature trees and plantings that reinforce the home's peaceful, retreat-like setting. The property also offers potential opportunities for a future swimming pool and for conversion of the existing carport into a garage or possible guest house (buyer to verify). Tucked away in a quiet hillside enclave yet moments from Carbon Beach, Nobu, Soho House, and central Malibu, 2315 Live Oak Meadows Road presents a rare opportunity to own a true architectural residence where design, landscape, and location converge.
