The story
Set on a quiet, tree-lined street just moments from the trailhead at Malibu Creek State Park, this 2022-built home feels like a private retreat - equal parts peaceful escape and creative sanctuary. There's an immediate sense of calm here. Mornings begin with soft canyon light filtering through the trees, afternoons drift into walks to the park, and evenings unfold beneath sparkling string lights, gathered around al fresco dining. Nestled in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, the setting is idyllic - lush, grounded, and deeply connected to nature, yet only minutes from Malibu, Calabasas, Cornell, and the heart of Agoura. Inside, the home blends thoughtful modern design with warm, rustic character. Real hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by soaring cathedral ceilings and 25-foot accordion doors that open to outdoor spaces while framing serene mountain views. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen with a generous center island, bar seating, and Viking appliances. Natural light fills each room, highlighting the textures and tones that give the home its quiet charm. Designed in a barn-style aesthetic, the layout balances connection with moments of retreat, with multiple outdoor lounge areas and a jacuzzi tucked into the landscape for a quiet unwind. The grounds feel curated yet organic, with olive trees, roses, and fruit trees creating a setting that invites you to slow down and meander. Outfitted with Sonos speakers throughout and wired with Cat 6, the home is equally suited for relaxed living and elevated entertaining. A professional music studio reflects the home's creative spirit, offering flexible use as a studio, bedroom, office, or additional living space. A durable metal roof and extensive fire-wise construction paired with a fire-conscious community design offers a rare level of resilience and long-term cost efficiencies, while a two-car garage offers space for storage or a workshop. Behind the scenes, other thoughtful infrastructure additions include a comprehensive Ring security system and a high-efficiency septic system that offers an eco-friendly option to utilize greywater for landscape irrigation. Set against rolling hills and surrounded by nature, this home invites you to slow down, create, entertain, and live with intention.
