State-of-the-art architectural estate in the heart of Malibu wine county, newly constructed in 2023. Designed by AIA awarding-winning architect Jim Gelfat, this idyllic Modern Farmhouse on over eight magical, private acres was built with meticulous attention to detail and fire safety in mind. The home's structural envelope is all metal roof and siding and vents made of metal honeycomb material designed to automatically seal when exposed to high temperatures, preventing destructive ember intrusion. Densglass, mandated in commercial buildings, underpins the metal siding, guarding the house with heat resistant properties similar to NASA Space Shuttle tiles. The estate, which has enjoyed free, private, healthy, and reliable well water for over three decades, is further equipped to defend its boundaries from wildfire with 15,000 gallons of water storage, plus another 12,500 gallons of swimming pool water in reserve for emergencies. A new, ground-mounted Tesla solar system producing a minimum of 21,533 kWh of electricity annually combined with three Tesla Powerwall batteries ensures that the home is equipped to weather grid shutdowns, while maintaining water pressure to the dedicated five-hydrant fire-suppression system surrounding the house. Nestled in scenic, prestigious and exclusive Newton Canyon, home to Malibu's first winery and a designated American Viticulture Area (AVA), the main house masterfully harmonizes contemporary design and upscale living in a tranquil setting. Positioned within a serene east-to-west canyon bordering the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, the property boasts breathtaking southern exposure and absolute seclusion with no immediate neighbors. As you approach the gated entrance, the estate is romantically framed by stately oak, sycamore, olive and pepper trees lining the quiet road. Inside, a welcoming soaring breezeway with limestone flooring leads to a peaceful, airy courtyard. The home's interior exudes sophistication, featuring Sonos sound, French white oak floors, Walker Zanger marble and tile, recessed Lutron lighting, and motorized shades. The centerpiece of the home is the expansive great room--a haven for entertaining and relaxation with one of the home's three fireplaces. A refined chef's kitchen features quartzite counters, Wolf range, dual ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, a double wine fridge, and a convenient, large walk-in pantry. Flowing seamlessly into a spacious dining area, the great room opens to all-encompassing nature through Fleetwood doors, creating a true indoor-outdoor living experience. A cozy first floor media room has built-in cabinets and surround sound. The primary suite features vaulted ceilings, fireplace, a private balcony, and floor-to-ceiling Fleetwood sliders leading to stunning views of the expansive, picturesque acreage. The spa-inspired primary bathroom includes dual marble vanities, a soaking tub, a marble steam shower, and elegant porcelain tile. In addition to another bedroom, there is a practical sun-filled den/office with bath, plus a storage/bonus room. For guests, a private one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment suite is accessible through the main house, but can also be locked off. It features a separate entrance, its own parking area, a spacious living room with fireplace, full kitchenette and two outdoor balconies. The estate's outdoor spaces, designed for care-free enjoyment, feature a pool and spa, built-in BBQ, and ample space for entertaining, meditating or dining al fresco under the stars. A variety of fruit trees and a seasonal stream wind through the canyon, and equestrians will love the barn, riding arena, and proximity to the Backbone Trail. Thoughtfully designed to complement its extraordinary setting, this rare estate blends modern architecture, luxurious living, and unparalleled amenities. A true embodiment of the Malibu wine country lifestyle, this multi-generational compound is ready to exceed your expectations.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Fire Resilience: State-of-the-art fire safety features including metal construction, Densglass, 27,500 gallons of water storage, and a five-hydrant suppression system, offering unparalleled protection in a high-risk area.
Sustainable & Self-Sufficient Living: Equipped with a private well for water and a Tesla solar system with Powerwall batteries, ensuring energy independence and resilience against grid shutdowns.
Award-Winning Modern Architecture: Newly constructed in 2023 by AIA award-winning architect Jim Gelfat, featuring contemporary design, high-end finishes (French white oak, Walker Zanger marble, Lutron lighting), and smart home technology (Sonos, motorized shades).
Ultimate Privacy & Expansive Acreage: Situated on over eight magical, private acres in exclusive Newton Canyon, offering absolute seclusion, breathtaking southern exposure, and no immediate neighbors.
Luxurious Amenities & Multi-Generational Potential: Includes a pool, spa, built-in BBQ, chef's kitchen with premium appliances, and a private, lock-off one-bedroom apartment suite with a separate entrance, ideal for guests or extended family.

Cons

Remote Canyon Location: While offering seclusion, its location deep within Newton Canyon may be perceived as remote by some buyers, requiring longer travel times to Malibu's beaches, schools, and commercial centers.
Significant Property Maintenance: The expansive eight-acre lot, while beautiful, will necessitate considerable ongoing landscaping and property management, potentially incurring high costs and effort.
Absence of Ocean Views: Despite its Malibu address, the property description highlights canyon, mountain, and tree views, but explicitly lacks mention of ocean views, which are often a prime draw and value driver for luxury properties in this region.
