A private, serene setting and a magnificent Tuscan-style residence make this Malibu equestrian estate a rare treasure. Set behind two gates on nearly three bucolic acres, the home is ideal for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The rough-hewn stone exterior and massive window-walls face onto patios, decks, and balconies — and the expansive verdant grounds — on every side. The interior is luminous and spacious, with high, exposed-truss ceilings, skylights, and wood floors creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. On the main floor, the center hall foyer opens to a gorgeous living area with a corner fireplace, a generous dining area with tray ceiling, and a professional kitchen with subway tile, double range, high-end appliances, and stone countertops. These areas each open onto a huge wraparound deck with ample room for al fresco dining, entertaining, and relaxation. There are four spacious bedrooms on the main level, each opening onto a patio or other outdoor space. A central staircase leads to the impressive owner’s retreat, with truss ceilings, a double-sided rock fireplace shared with an office, sitting or exercise room on the other side, and a large tiled bath. Double glass doors open onto a large patio that overlooks the gardens and flows to the grassy backyard. Finally, from the dining room, a separate staircase leads down to the sixth bedroom, which could also serve as a guest suite, art studio, or yoga room. On every side, the home’s beautiful landscaping features expansive lawns and handsome mature trees, including sculptural sycamores. There is a charming wooden bridge, a corral with a small shed, and a long drive, with multiple guest parking areas. This enchanting property combines exceptional quality with rare tranquility in a wonderful, scenic location.
