20649 Las Flores Mesa Drive, Malibu, CA, 90265

A stunning Malibu hilltop equestrian property with gorgeous panoramic ocean, coastal and mountain views, beautiful landscaping.   Home designed by architect Ronald G. Firestone and constructed with an appreciation for classic styling and contemporary comfort.  Located only 15 minutes from Pacific Palisades Village and Westside in lower Malibu and 1.000 yards from the coast at the end of a private road,   this gated property of approximately 21.5 acres adjoins the protected expanses of the Santa Monica Mountains with access to hiking and riding trails.  At the front of the home is a circular drive that leads to a private paved road going entirely around the house. A beautiful courtyard and leaded-glass double doors open onto a mezzanine-level entry to the spectacular great room, with high beamed ceilings, herringbone planking, and Saltillo tile and wood floors. Steps lead down to a large living area with expansive windows and sensational ocean views. At one end of this room, down two steps, is an intimate sitting area with a fireplace. Directly above the sitting area, accessed by a picturesque spiral staircase, is a library/loft with wood floors, a huge fireplace with an old English mantelpiece, and built-in shelves. Overlooking the living room, this space could be used as a billiards room, office, or another sitting area. From the entry landing, a tiled walkway leads past garden windows to an elevated dining area. Just beyond this is the chef’s kitchen, with professional appliances, granite countertops, and island with veggie sink, walk-in pantry, eat-in dining, and a built-in desk.  The kitchen opens directly onto a spacious mountain and ocean view dining patio and the kitchen and dining area also open into an intimate family room with fireplace and corner windows that look out to beautiful ocean views. There is a powder room, and a laundry room with a door to a three-car epoxy floor garage that has a Tesla charger and can accommodate a limo.  Stairs in the laundry room go up to an en-suite maid’s/guest room with high wood ceiling, skylights and lovely mountain views. On the main level there are three ocean-view bedrooms, including the owner’s suite, which has high, wood-beamed ceilings, fireplace, sparkling spa bath, walk-in closet, steam shower and sitting area with a massive ocean view window flanked by doors to a raised, uncovered deck with a hot tub. At the back of the house is a covered, 650 ft multi-level Saltillo tile veranda with expansive lawn, gardens and views of ocean, coastline and islands.  This area has  approved swimming pool plans.   A large grassy area off the circular driveway and other  useable areas are only limited by your imagination.   A short pathway leads to a small corral with a barn for one horse; above that is a small riding ring with a two-horse barn all of which is adjacent to approx. 500 miles of hiking and riding trails.  This property sits at an elevation of 650’ offering not just a home but a lifestyle with complete privacy surrounded by nature with panoramic ocean views.​
