Property Description

Here is your opportunity to own a true piece of Malibu history. Located at the top of a scenic country road in central Malibu, behind gates and framed by hand-laid rock walls, this charming single-level sprawling ranch home with ocean views offers a rare blend of history, privacy, character, and versatility. Once part of the historic Baller family cattle ranch, the property is agriculturally zoned for livestock and crops, creating a unique opportunity to enjoy both an exceptional lifestyle and highly usable land. The residence is filled with warmth and timeless appeal, featuring plank-vaulted wood ceilings, rich wood floors, built-ins, and a beautiful stone fireplace. Double doors from the dining room open to a screened porch where panoramic 180-degree ocean views stretch from the Queen's Necklace to Catalina, up the coast toward Santa Barbara and beyond, creating an unforgettable setting for morning coffee, sunset dinners, or quiet moments surrounded by nature. Thoughtful upgrades enhance both form and function, including a 2022 three-stall Castlebrook barn, new fencing and grading, and multiple flat pads offering room for a pool, sport court, outdoor kitchen, or expanded entertaining spaces. The property continues to unfold with incredible flexibility, including two standalone bungalows that may serve as guest accommodations, income-producing spaces, an art studio, or a recording studio. A garage with guest parking, vegetable beds, and a charming chicken coop add to the property's functionality and ranch lifestyle appeal. Mature fruit trees and an abundance of nearby hiking trails offer vast canyon and ocean views, with paths leading to creek beds just beyond your back door. The grounds are further elevated by majestic 100-year-old stone pines, along with mature trees and established landscaping that provide exceptional shade, privacy, and natural beauty throughout. With sweeping ocean views, a peaceful setting, and access to nature, this property lives like a private mountain sanctuary while remaining deeply rooted in Malibu history. Rarely does a property offer this level of charm, usable acreage, character, and potential in such a special setting.
