This Burdge-Designed Malibu Contemporary Has Infinity Pool and Full Entertainment Level on 1.3 Oceanfront Acres

Few places conjure the spirit of glamour and exclusivity quite like Malibu—and no address carries more cachet than the guard-gated enclave of Malibu Colony Estates.

Often referred to as the "original Malibu," the Colony has a lineage tracing back to the 1930s, when stars like Barbara Stanwyck, Gary Cooper, Bing Crosby, Charlie Chaplin, and Gloria Swanson first built seaside escapes here. Today, that legacy lives on, with Malibu Colony Estates continuing to draw billionaires, celebrities, and those seeking privacy along the Pacific. The community is so exclusive — only about 120 homes exist —making new builds are exceedingly rare.

That's why this 2023-built custom contemporary estate by renowned architect Douglas W. Burdge, AIA, is so exceptional. Poised atop 1.3 acres with commanding ocean views, the once-in-a-generation offering is a five-bedroom, ten-bathroom masterpiece offering convergence of architectural sophistication, sweeping ocean views, and seamless indoor-outdoor design. 

A dramatic pivot entry door framed by sculptural water features introduces the 8,200-square-foot interiors. Walls of glass frame endless ocean vistas, while soaring ceilings and exquisite materials—vein-cut travertine, rare Calcutta Gold stone—infuse the home with a subtle elegance. Anchoring the living room is a dramatic floor-to-ceiling Blue Bibas marble fireplace, a moody, sculptural centerpiece that reflects the home’s coastal palette. The adjacent kitchen is a study in understated luxury, featuring top-of-the-line appliances, custom backlit cabinetry, and casual bar seating—all designed with effortless entertaining in mind. The main level boasts a media area, full bar with bifold doors opening to the patio, a formal dining space, a guest suite, and a striking office with views stretching to the ocean.

The outdoor spaces rival the amenities of a five-star resort. A private backyard sanctuary features multiple lounge areas, a covered bar for six, alfresco dining, an infinity-edge pool and spa, a firepit with banquet-style seating, and a fenced lawn ideal for pets or play.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat, complete with dual en-suite baths, dual walk-in closets, and a wraparound terrace that captures the very best of Malibu’s ocean and mountain vistas. Three additional en-suite bedrooms offer comfort and privacy for family and guests.

The lower level is a world unto itself, featuring a state-of-the-art home theater, a game room, a gym/bonus room, a powder room, and ample storage. Additional conveniences include a three-car garage, guest parking, and a private elevator servicing all floors.

Ideally positioned just minutes from Malibu’s celebrated beaches, boutiques, and dining destinations, this estate offers a rare combination of new construction, storied location, and world-class design—a true once-in-a-generation offering in one of California’s most prestigious addresses.
