    A pristinely redone and truly breathtaking Malibu "Serra Retreat" estate with commanding ocean views spanning the Malibu Pier, Surfrider Beach, and the endless whitewater coastline, securely positioned behind the 24-hour guard gates of Serra Retreat, Malibu's most prestigious private enclave. A future equestrian estate awaiting vision and execution, this extraordinary offering presents a rare opportunity to create a world-class compound with a riding ring, guest residence, staff quarters, and resort-style amenities (buyer to conduct their own due diligence). Completely remodeled, the home is an elegant fusion of farmhouse-inspired exterior architecture and a richly layered warm-modern interior, embodying refined luxury, quiet sophistication, and one of the most commanding coastal vantage points in all of Serra Retreat. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to elevate both form and function, creating a residence that feels timeless, substantial, and undeniably glamorous. Privately set on 3.3 acres across two parcels, the estate offers immediate luxury paired with exceptional future potential. The second parcel allows for the addition of a pool, tennis court, guest home, and equestrian riding ring (buyer to conduct their own due diligence), while directly bordering miles of protected hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails; an extraordinary blend of oceanfront drama and serene natural beauty.The residence spans approximately 5,548 square feet and features four ensuite bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. A long, private gated drive leads to a formal entry where dramatic ocean views immediately captivate, framed by soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, bespoke detailing, and expansive walls of glass capturing the coastline from nearly every room. From the moment of arrival, uninterrupted sightlines draw the eye outward to the Pacific, with sunlight dancing across refined interiors.A full-length ocean-view balcony extends across the home, offering a front-row seat to glowing sunsets, rolling surf, and the iconic Malibu Pier below. The main level is masterfully designed for both grand entertaining and intimate daily living. A sun-drenched living room features vaulted wood-beam ceilings, a sculptural metal fireplace, and inviting seating perfectly positioned to enjoy the coastline and evening skies. A full bar, formal dining room, and multiple lounging areas appear to float above the ocean, creating seamless flow throughout. The chef's kitchen is both striking and highly functional, appointed with custom white-oak cabinetry, high-end stainless steel appliances, an expansive center island, fireplace, and walk-in pantry ideal for refined entertaining or quiet mornings overlooking the sea. Completing the main level are a guest bedroom with a second-story loft and additional sleeping area, a well-appointed laundry room, and a private dry sauna.A wide custom staircase leads to the lower level, where a generous entertainment lounge transitions into the primary suite; a luxurious private retreat bathed in natural light and breathtaking coastal views. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the horizon, while the spa-inspired bath features a soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanities. The suite opens directly to a private outdoor hot tub, perfectly positioned to capture Malibu's legendary sunsets in complete privacy. Two additional ensuite bedrooms provide beautifully appointed accommodations for family and guests. Additional features include an oversized three-car garage, parking for five or more vehicles, and two graded pads ideal for future enhancements. Just moments from Cross Creek, world-class shopping, dining, and the beach, yet entirely removed from the noise,this remarkable estate delivers a rare combination of security, accessibility, acreage, and awe-inspiring views. Bold, glamorous, and unmistakably Malibu, located within one of California's most exclusive gated communities.
