Own a remarkable piece of Malibu history. Tucked behind handcrafted stone walls and wooden gates at the end of a picturesque country road in central Malibu, just 15 minutes from Pacific Coast Highway, this extraordinary single-level ranch estate offers an unforgettable combination of privacy, history, breathtaking ocean views, and endless possibilities. Originally part of the historic Baller family cattle ranch, this agriculturally zoned property is ideal for horses, livestock, vineyards, orchards, or hobby farming, offering a rare opportunity to embrace the ranch lifestyle while enjoying one of Malibu's most spectacular settings. The warm and inviting main residence is filled with timeless character, featuring vaulted plank wood ceilings, rich hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and a stunning stone fireplace that anchors the spacious living areas. Double doors from the dining room open to a screened-in porch where panoramic 180-degree ocean views stretch from the Queen's Necklace and Catalina Island up the coastline toward Santa Barbara, creating the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, sunset entertaining, or peaceful evenings surrounded by nature. The main home offers two comfortable bedrooms, while three detached bungalows provide exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, creative studios, home offices, or income-producing rentals. Each bungalow enjoys its own private entrance, dedicated parking, heating and air conditioning, bedroom, and full bathroom. One bungalow also features a separate living room and charming kitchenette, making it especially well suited as a guest house or rental opportunity. The expansive grounds have been thoughtfully enhanced with new fencing and grading, creating multiple usable flat pads ready for your vision. Imagine a pool and spa, pickleball or sport court, outdoor kitchen, gym, cold plunge, gardens, or additional entertaining areas. The possibilities are virtually limitless. Completing the ranch lifestyle are a detached garage, ample guest parking, a charming chicken coop, future vegetable gardens, mature fruit trees, and majestic century-old Italian stone pines that provide beauty, shade, and remarkable privacy. Miles of nearby hiking trails wind through breathtaking canyons with ocean vistas and peaceful creek beds just beyond your backyard. Offering sweeping ocean views, usable acreage, incredible versatility, and an authentic connection to Malibu's rich ranching heritage, this is far more than a home it's a private sanctuary where history, nature, and opportunity come together. Properties with this level of character, land, privacy, and potential rarely become available.
