formal entry hall starts a well-choreographed procession
of spaces that includes a roomy office/study that opens to
a sizeable patio and lawn, with ocean views beyond, as well
as a large family/entertainment room fitted with wrap-
around windows and glass/wood sliding doors to the pool
terrace, where one is apt to consider lazing away the day
among friends and family or popping into the pool. Also
here is a recording studio with a half bath, and a kitchen
fully outfitted to accommodate the needs presented by
an array of occasions, courtesy of its eat-in island, upscale
appliances and large butler's pantry with full kitchen. e
formal dining room is equally dignified and dreamy, open-
ing to the manicured outdoor expanse. Elsewhere one is
pleased to find a powder room, wine room and trio of
en-suite bedrooms. A separate wing hosts the master suite,
a grand sanctuary with high ceilings and double French
doors that open to a patio seating area dripping in Pacific
blue vistas. Dual master baths with walk-in dressing clos-
ets, plus an adjacent in-ground saltwater spa and outdoor
shower, are among the accompaniments.
Residency in the property's separate guesthouse is its
own enticement. e private three-story dwelling dedi-
cates its upper floor to a duo of large bedrooms. e main
floor, meanwhile, makes way for an en-suite bedroom, a
full kitchen and a large main room, which is currently
being used as a gym. Finally is the mirrored room, bath-
room and bonus room on the lower level. Outside the
guesthouse, the patio is enclosed on one side by a stupen-
dous outdoor aquarium built into a stone wall.
e grounds are splendid, featuring an immense grassy
area with a basketball court and a range of shaded relax-
ation spaces that present a highly convincing argument to
untether from the world—an urge the views only amplify.
Perhaps most alluring of all outdoor appointments is the
stairway and a funicular that descends to a spacious cabana
that parades as a party unto itself with retractable ceilings,
a wet bar with seating, built-in barbecue with sink, built-in
couch and firepit, a half bath and storage for sports equip-
ment. Continue along the landscaped slope and one is
submerged in the barefoot luxury of a beloved sandy beach.
Because one cannot put a price on the Malibu life-
style, 27560 Pacific Coast Highway is well worth the hefty
investment. Cortazzo concludes of the property: "ey
don't come up often, and when they do, whoever is smart
enough to grab will have a lifetime of memories there. It's
that special." And that priceless.
