The newly constructed private paradise, located at 5924 Bonsall Drive, was designed by internationally recognized architect Ray Kappe, and boasts beautiful scenic hills, sweeping canyons, and ocean views. Located on one of Malibu's most desirable streets, in a community renowned worldwide for its exclusivity, the property boasts a modern four-bedroom main residence that harmoniously integrates with the natural landscape, along with a detached two-bedroom guest apartment. The estate spans approximately 4,600 square feet on a 7.08-acre lot, including a total of six bedrooms, four full baths, and two half baths.

The primary residence of the property boasts Kappe’s signature design elements: open spaces, tall ceilings, and expansive viewpoints that showcase the home’s panoramic views and maximize the Malibu sunshine. The state-of-the-art-kitchen with center island is open to a spacious, glass walled living room that is bathed in natural light and stunning panoramic views of the surrounding natural landscape. The primary suite is a true escape, occupying the second floor with a spacious bedroom, custom closets, a private balcony, and a spa-like ensuite. 

The home also offers a wealth of outdoor amenities, including an expansive rooftop deck, a swimming pool and spa, a professional riding arena with a round pen and paddocks, miles of riding trails, a fruit orchard, and a glass greenhouse. Modern horse stables with 12 stalls and a large detached workshop offer increased functionality for equestrians, while ample space for an additional detached guest house is available to add future potential.

“5924 Bonsall Drive is not only a top-tier offering in one of the world’s most famous and luxurious communities, but also an architectural masterpiece by one of California’s most decorated architects, Ray Kappe,” said Mark Gruskin of Westside Estate Agency. “This state-of-the-art property, surrounded by scenic hills, ocean views, and perched along California’s golden coast, will soak in the Malibu sunshine and satisfy its next owner’s desire for a truly elevated lifestyle.” 

Malibu, a renowned gem of California, attracts movie stars, athletes, and celebrities with its breathtaking beaches and ideal surfing conditions. Its pristine coastline offers opportunities to spot gray whales and explore scenic hiking trails. Visitors often immerse themselves in the arts at the Getty Museum or Surf Museum before savoring fresh seafood at a picturesque waterfront restaurant. For those seeking adventure, Malibu's hills and canyons provide excellent hiking, while nearby wineries offer a relaxing retreat. Located just an hour from Downtown Los Angeles, Malibu provides a tranquil escape from the city's fast pace. The property is located just 15 minutes from Malibu town center, two minutes from Zuma Beach, and about one hour from Los Angeles International Airport.
