Description

Available for the first time in over 30 years, this iconic residence offers a level of privacy and serenity that is next to impossible to find close to town. Sited on nearly two breathtaking acres, there is a deeply moving sense of permanence among the spectacular grounds that is hard to describe. Adorned with a magnificent Heritage Oak and a canopy of stately mature trees, It's the kind of place you'll never want to leave. The notable estate is anchored by a grand stone-and-iron main entrance gate with a sweeping driveway that curves gracefully to a separate exit gate. From its elevated vantage point on an enormous flat knoll, the property delivers long-range views of the Santa Monica Mountains and overlooks state parkland. The exterior amenities cater to a relaxed lifestyle, showcasing a rock-rimmed swimming pool, an abundance of outdoor entertainment spaces, a charming potting house for the avid gardener, and a full-size, lighted tennis court that can easily adapt into two pickleball courts. There is also plenty of room to build an ADU, house a car collection and install a vegetable garden. Inside, the nearly 6,500-square-foot main residence is a masterclass in classic craftsmanship, defined by rich millwork, authentic leaded glass windows, six custom fireplaces, and dual staircases. The interior spaces are grand yet inviting, highlighted by an exquisite formal dining room with a hand-carved wood fireplace and a richly appointed pub room that evokes the sophisticated ambiance of a library bar from another era. A large butler's kitchen sits between the dining room and main kitchen, effortlessly enhancing all manner of entertainment and culinary pursuits. The massive artist's studio, with voluminous ceiling and separate entrance, provides a versatile space filled with light. The flexible floor plan features dual primary retreats, the largest of which is on the first floor. It comprises two fully appointed bathrooms and an abundance of closet space. A centrally located family room is just off the kitchen as is the delightful sunroom facing the lush backyard pool area. Upstairs, a second primary suite shares the floor with a third en-suite bedroom and an optional fourth bedroom. This secluded haven delivers a rare opportunity to be out of the public eye without sacrificing convenience. Located in the coveted community of Old Agoura, the property is near Cheeseboro Canyon, providing immediate access to over 4,000 acres of hiking, cycling, and equestrian trails. While the property is secluded, it's only minutes from town and about 20 minutes to Malibu beaches. The property is served by the renowned Las Virgenes School District and outstanding private academies. This is one of the most coveted residences to come on the market in decades.
