Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in coveted Malibu's Sunset Mesa enclave, this private garden estate offers a rare blend of privacy, resilience, and elevated coastal living just moments from the ocean. This thoughtfully upgraded residence stands as a testament to quality and care, having fully survived the Palisades fires and subsequently undergoing extensive remediation and enhancements to meet today's highest standards. Ideally situated within close proximity to Santa Monica, Palisades and it's schools, and within the highly regarded Malibu school district, this home is designed for comfort and entertaining. The home features a gourmet custom kitchen outfitted with professional-grade appliances, including a 6-burner range with griddle, dual stoves, a full-size commercial refrigerator, and a restaurant-quality nugget ice machine. An under-sink water filtration system and seamless connectivity to adjacent living spaces make it as functional as it is refined. Indoor-outdoor living is at the forefront, with extra-tall windows and sliders flooding the interiors with natural light and opening to lush, meandering garden spaces. Every room enjoys direct outdoor access and tranquil garden views, creating a seamless connection to nature. The grounds are a curated retreat, featuring mature fruit trees (avocado, Meyer lemon, blood orange, lime, mandarin, passion fruit, and fig) alongside hand-built stone walls, a low-water lawn, and multiple areas for gathering, including an outdoor kitchen, dining area, and gas firepit. The home is equally well-equipped for modern living, offering FiOS fiberoptic high-speed internet, a fully integrated Sonos sound system wired throughout the interior, including a bedroom that's equipped to serve as a media room. Smart Home features include Nest/Google security cameras, while practical upgrades such as solar panels, a whole-house generator hookup, and a brand-new HVAC system (including in the garage/bonus space) ensure efficiency and peace of mind. Additional highlights include a private primary suite with custom closets, built-in office and shelving, two full bathrooms plus a powder room, and both gas and wood-burning fireplaces. With mountain views, exceptional privacy, and close proximity to Malibu's iconic coastline, this is a turnkey opportunity in one of the area's most desirable neighborhoods.
