Description
Deer Creek Ridge is a thirty-nine-acre trophy estate in the tranquil western end of Malibu. The property lies within hundreds of acres of pristine, protected parkland and has no close neighbors. It boasts breathtaking views of both the Pacific Coast from Catalina to the Channel Islands, and the majestic Santa Monica Mountains. The ridge-top villa, designed by renowned Santa Barbara firm Thomson Naylor, is an informed and elegant iteration of Spanish/Moorish architecture that references Old Hollywood style while employing airy, modern aesthetics. Dramatic terrain puts the house at twelve hundred feet above the ocean, but only three to four minutes' drive from PCH and Deer Creek Beach. A large pool, spa and multiple shaded lounging areas all enjoy the vistas which, combined with music in and out and manicured landscaping, lend the place an ethereal, resort-like feeling. Other assets include a newly remodeled kitchen with premium appliances, multi-zone HVAC, built-in speakers, home automation and security systems, wood-burning masonry fireplace, two 2-car garages and guest parking for about 75 vehicles inside the gated property. The property is entirely self-contained, with a healthy well and state-of-the art off-grid infrastructure, placing it beyond utility bills, power cuts and water restrictions. Original construction prioritized fire safety and with plenty of easily cleared, defensible space around it, the structure has survived two direct hits from the Springs and Woolsey Fires virtually unscathed. This private estate impossible to recreate with current building/zoning restrictions has been generating a substantial annual income for the last 10 years. Deer Creek Ridge is a well-known, fully licensed luxury vacation rental, and has been used extensively for weddings, events, fashion and photo shoots, music videos, proposals, and Hollywood production.
