Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive & Developable Land: This rare offering includes 80 acres across two parcels, with one 40-acre parcel already graded with infrastructure, presenting significant development potential or unparalleled privacy.
Breathtaking Panoramic Views: The estate boasts amazing 360-degree views from Boney Ridge to the Channel Islands, providing a truly iconic Malibu backdrop from various points on the property.
Luxurious & Custom-Crafted Main Residence: The 5,682 sqft main house features exceptional craftsmanship, 35ft cathedral beamed ceilings, high-end Thermador appliances, travertine floors, and a glass elevator leading to a lavish primary suite.
Extensive Recreational & Utility Amenities: Beyond the main house, the property offers a 3,000 sqft detached garage/workshop with a car lift, a dedicated shooting range, a mature fruit orchard, and miles of private walking/riding trails.
Robust Self-Sufficient Infrastructure: Equipped with three water wells, eight water tanks, and underground utilities (irrigation, drainage), the estate is designed for independence and efficient management.

Cons

Secluded Location & Accessibility: While offering ultimate privacy, the property's canyon location means a significant drive to urban conveniences, schools, and potentially longer commute times.
High Maintenance Demands: The vast 80-acre property, multiple structures, extensive landscaping, and complex infrastructure will require substantial ongoing maintenance, time, and operational costs.
Limited Bedroom Count for Size: At 5,682 sqft, the main house features only 3 bedrooms, which may be a limiting factor for larger families or those desiring more guest accommodations relative to the property's grand scale.
