    What's special

    Some of Point Dume's most extraordinary properties are defined by their setting. Others by their history. This iconic blufftop estate is distinguished by both, carrying a remarkable artistic legacy all its own.Set behind private gates on over one acre, the property offers exceptional privacy, breathtaking coastline views, and coveted Riviera III beach keys. A generous motor court accommodates approximately a dozen guest vehicles, while a separate service entrance provides rare convenience for staff and estate operations, an exceptional amenity in one of Malibu's most treasured enclaves.The residence features six bedrooms, including four on the main level, a secluded primary suite, and separate guest or staff accommodations. A private ocean view office perched above the home offers an inspiring space for work . The floor plan is thoughtfully arranged for both privacy and effortless living.Mature trees and professionally landscaped gardens create a serene setting, where a Moorish fountain gently cascades into the spa beside a tranquil lily pond. An expansive oceanfront lawn, an uncommon feature along Malibu's blufftop coastline provides an extraordinary setting for entertaining, recreation, or simply taking in the panoramic views.Inside, soaring beamed ceilings and expansive walls of glass fill the principal living spaces with natural light while framing sweeping ocean views.Long associated with the legendary Frank Zappa, the estate reflects a remarkable artistic provenance while offering an extraordinary opportunity to own one of Point Dume's truly iconic coastal residences.
