This sensational, award-winning, single-level Malibu estate offers extravagant comfort and commands unobstructed sunrise-to-sunset ocean and island views. Set on approximately one acre with 133' of bluff-top frontage, it is one of just 17 homes that comprise the very private 80-acre MariSol community. Designed by Barry Berkus, A.I.A., the home won the Gold Nugget Award for Home of the Year at the Pacific Coast Builders Conference. Meticulously maintained and updated, it is characterized by Berkus's contemporary design aesthetic, flawless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, and exceptional attention to sustainable design principles and materials. The project earned a Build It Green certification for its use of recycled materials, certified lumber, high-efficiency glass, efficient water usage, and large overhangs for shading. Surrounded by a botanical wonderland of gorgeous trees, feathery ferns, meandering pathways, and inviting outdoor living spaces, the home sits behind gates at the end of a driveway of cobblestone hand-hewn from native rock. The entry area features a deep portico and a large rectangular pond. With interior spaces defined by rift-sawn oak ceilings, skylights, Fleetwood windows and doors, Berkus's signature huge, moving glass walls, and French limestone floors, the home's primary living area is a vast, 60-foot wide great room with 14-foot ceilings. This luminous ocean-view space incorporates open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas and flows out to a tranquil patio facing the infinity pool and non-stop views.
