Picture Malibu,
the fabled beach enclave just north of Los Angeles, and what
comes to mind is not just the good life but the best life. Days
composed of vibrant surfing mornings, idyllic poolside afternoons
and elegant Nobu nights demand the backdrop of a unique and
beautiful home. Yet, given the city's humble beginnings as a
conglomeration of tiny beach shacks wrestling for elbow room
along the sand, finding a home within this zip code that meets
your dreams of a private and, most importantly, expansively acred
and verdant, estate can be challenging. That is, until you arrive
at 27930 Pacific Coast Highway.
Here is a property beyond your wildest dreams, commanding
gorgeous ocean views from its perch on a private bluff just above
Paradise Cove. Behind its elegant front gates, this address hides
an oasis of serenity. Sprawling over 2.5 lush acres, it easily rivals
the world's finest five star resorts. "It's the ultimate sophisticated
and elegant beach enclave," says real estate agent Chris Cortazzo.
"And a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase one of the most
prestigious and, frankly, jaw-dropping, locations in Malibu."
A long paved driveway beckons, meandering serenely through
luxuriant groves of eucalyptus, bamboo and palm trees that sway
in the cooling ocean breezes. Wind past a pair of playhouses,
connected by a suspended footbridge, that promise hours of play,
chance upon a sculpture gardens, and, further on, a tennis court
(oriented north-south to ensure games are not interrupted by
the strong rays of the California sun) with a pavilion designed to
shade observers. Still there are more delights: here, an outdoor
dining area, the ideal setting for an elegant dinner party, cele-
brating life in the new normal. There, an enormous mirrored gym.
Drive on, past ponds and fountains and the subterranean garage,
which welcomes over eight cars, before finally arriving at the
huge central motor court nestled between the home's long wings,
