$40 Million Estate on Broad Beach, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Malibu has many homes on the beach. What it doesn't have is many beachfront compounds and one of the prettiest just came on the market at $39,995,000. This gated estate consists of two separate -- and equally beautiful -- beachfront cottage-style homes. Both have been remodeled to the nines and sit on a combined 175 feet of choice Broad Beach beachfront.

The home on the east has four bedrooms, four bathrooms; there is a guest suite with its own kitchenette. The interior has walls of glass with bamboo floors that open to a landscaped center courtyard and a PebbleTec pool. The home's master suite has high vaulted ceilings and French doors opening toward the ocean.

The second home has four bedrooms and five bathrooms with custom tile work and cabinetry throughout. The master suite has his-and-her bathrooms. Combined, there is 5,887 square feet of living space. Both properties were constructed in 1961 and have been completely updated. The ocean views, of course, need no updating and remain breath-taking.

What makes this property even rarer is its location. Broad Beach, the 1.1-mile stretch of sand near the northern border of Malibu, is a quieter beachfront scene than either Carbon Beach or Malibu Colony. The Broad Beach neighborhood has about 108 beachfront homes and some undeveloped lots. It's had its share of celebrity residents through the years -- Goldie Hawn, Dustin Hoffman, Danny DeVito and Steven Spielberg -- but does a better job of managing the paparazzi than other parts of Malibu.

Wailani O'Herlihy of Sotheby's International Realty, Malibu, has the listing.

Malibu Beach House, Estate of the Day

Today's Malibu, California beach home has a bit of celebrity provenance, this beach home high up on a bluff was once owned by rock star and restaurateur Sammy Hagar. Hagar's former beach house has enviable waterviews. A rustic seaside garden leads to a staircase and the beach below. A sundeck on the bluff edge includes a hot tub and lounging area. The home itself has a funky and distinctive look that harks back to an older Malibu style when it was a surf-driven beach community rather than a celebrity enclave. There are beamed ceilings, a pitched roof, polished teak floors and fireplaces that look like they've seen a lot of use on foggy nights. The home has six bedrooms including a truly stellar master suite. The expansive suite has a fireplace and sitting area and a balcony that opens out to the ocean. The current decor is a bit eccentric in some places. The combination of a pot rack and greenery in the kitchen is the type of decorating move that makes the Real Estalker call for nerve pills. Overall though, this is a beautiful and private abode. It is listed at $10.9 million.
