Marisol Malibu is the largest major residential development project to rock Malibu in more than a decade. Tucked away near the end of Malibu's 27-mile stretch of coastline near the Ventura County line, the 80-acre development's main showcase home was just listed at $17 million. Also being sold are 16 additional ocean bluff home sites, starting at $4 million.

Malibu hasn't seen this level of pristine land since May Rindge locked up her gates and tried to block the railroad and county road from coming through her home. The Rindges bought the 13,300 acres of Rancho Malibu for $10 an acre in 1892 and while developer Richard Morris is certainly looking to fetch a little more, you can totally see what the Rindges saw way back when. It's just a breath-taking location, and as they say, nobody is manufacturing any more oceanfront land, are they?

Marisol Malibu features a 10,000-square-foot single-story main home. It has a 60-foot-wide great room with 14-foot tall ceilings, a fully equipped wet bar and two master bedroom suites both with oak ceilings and views of the surfers below. There are two other bedrooms with mountain views. The home has a state-of-the-art home theater, an open chef's kitchen, refrigerated wine cellar, gym and landscaped grounds with an infinity-edge lap pool and three patios. There is an outdoor dining pavilion and an ironwood deck on the 4,000 square foot bluff "beach." The home has a water wall of rock quarried from the site and set in a a fern and oak garden. The driveway is made of hand-hewn cobblestones of native rocks. There is parking for 10 cars. All the electronics are centrally controlled b a Creston smart system and 10 security cameras patrol the property.

Including the showcase property, Marisol has 13 oceanfront one-acre estate sites and three two-acre flat sites for estates to be built elevated above the oceanfront sites. There is also a 57-acre hillside retreat that overlooks the whole project and 10 miles of rugged coastline. The lots range from $4 million to $9 million.

Jack Pritchett of Pritchett-Rapf & Associates of Malibu, and Chris Cortazzo of Coldwell Banker Malibu, share the listing.

Beautiful Home, I'd get Lost but who cares

What is the TRUE purpose of this decadent article? Rubbing salt in decent people's wounds? We could care less about these gross houses and the shady characters that have the money to buy them . I remember the 38 room HOUSE that robin Givens and Mike Tyson bought. Like their going to occupy 38 rooms. How long did that marrage last . A house is not a home.Investigate where these people got their money and you find a crook with poor character. Money, money. Let's invade countries and murder for money .Stop putting these articles in our collective faces,were not interested.

Wouldn't live there if they paid me! I like cozy and comfortable. I was born and raised in CA. They can have the state or give it back to Mexico! It's a terrible place to live! I'll take NY any day of the week!

Beautiful, the newer homes are something else.
The decore is nice, but lacks a little.
The bath room is very different from any others I have ever seen before, I liked it the best.

Peaceful, yes. But what a cold home. Nothing warm about it. Little color. I like the outside and the views but nothing much else. I think I would be bored living there.

how did they get a picture of my house?

fasoldk Jan 24th 2011 9:21AM

It is vast and clean but lacks the look of comfort & home.

I lived out in East Hampton LongIsland most of my life and worked on huge estates Ive worked at Jerry Sienfelds Alec Baldwins Faye Dunnaways Carlo GambinoSr and Carlo Jrs Mort Zuckerman's, I also helped renovate Edie Beale's place year's ago just to name a few and there are more.The one thing I can say is in all the place's Ive worked none of them felt comfortable inside not a very down home feeling like the smaller local homes.Big homes have a lonely feeling.

Nice digs. Since my house is being taken by the bank (Bank of America), wonder if they'd mind me moving in with my family? Looks big enough, they probably wouldn't even notice we were there...

Remind me that story and then they die !! Love is born in small place I know that my son is not in jail. I do lot of rich homes and most of time I fell sorry for people who live there they are worry about everything pitiful.

Please who cares about these millions dollars homes. Check this out if I live in a regular house or apartment paying rent "that's fine". I do not give a damn who, where or what the so call rich and famous or those want to be are living. The majority of them living terribly, foreclosure, skid row and trying to keep up the jones. I thank my "God" for blessing me with what I have. The house is cold, boring and no sense of family nor blessing. Please find something to entertain us with. The article says we will probably live in a 17 Million Home", but I am "Bless" with what I have paying rent and enjoying myself. Get A Life...Nobody Want This Barn Yard House

Beautiful place, and there is no doubt about that. The view and the pools cannot be beaten. Good quality everywhere you look. Its not friendly. Would I take it in a New York minute? Oh yea. Then Id work at making a warm friendly home any way I could. Think Im stupid?

thefinest243624 Jan 24th 2011 11:19AM

I love it!! Can I have it for free!!!! (lol)

paula982 Jan 24th 2011 11:23AM

Lacks warmth!! Disappointing!

wollardjenny Jan 24th 2011 11:38AM

The place is lovely of course!! It just reminds me of a very upscale hotel and the warm cozy feeling of a home that is lived in just is not there. I know I will never own a house like this . The views are fantastic.

bytorea Jan 24th 2011 11:45AM

Cold and uninviting! I was waiting for the "wow" picture and never did see one, because it doesn't exist. No thanks, that house is not a home.

Teodor Jan 24th 2011 11:47AM

Too big for me even if I would allow. But maybe in the future, I think about it. Until then I have to work. And in the mountains where I live, I am not even considering the sea. But who knows, maybe I'll have success with fashion.

Work hard, save your money and you too can live there.

This is what is called an environmental disaster. Think of the level of greenhouse gas emissions produced just from lighting, air conditioning, and heating this monstrosity. The bigger a house, the more impervious coverage, meaning the less space there is for water to recharge and sink back into the ground during rainstorms. It is the veneration of everything big just like this--houses, cars, etc.--that make this country one of the worst consumers of resources on the planet, consuming far more than our share by population alone. I would rather live lightly on the Earth.
