About this home

Simka Malibu is a residence conceived with permanence at its core. Rising from the bluffs above the Pacific Ocean, this awe-inspiring architectural work by renowned architect Kris Halliday, often referred to as "God's Architect," encompasses apx. 30,000 sq.ft. of meticulously engineered living space. Both fortress and refuge, the estate was deliberately sited and constructed with extraordinary foresight, designed to withstand fire, seismic activity, tsunami, mudslide, and coastal erosion, reflecting a singular commitment to longevity, resilience, and architectural integrity. Constructed with more than 7,300 cubic yards of super-reinforced concrete, Simka Malibu is a singular architectural statement shaped by one vision and one guiding hand. Its commanding lines of concrete and glass are balanced by sculptural landscaping and rare natural stone sourced from around the world, embodying Halliday's concept of "Brutality Vitality," where strength and serenity coexist in refined harmony. Concrete is elevated from raw material to an almost tactile softness, lending the home a sense of calm power. Arrival is intentionally ceremonial, unfolding through a secondary gated entrance into a serene Zen courtyard and stone-lined pathway. Inside, floor-to-ceiling walls of glass dissolve the boundary between interior and horizon, framing uninterrupted ocean views. The home is conceived as a sanctuary, a place designed to protect, restore, and inspire. Life at Simka Malibu is defined by a series of immersive experiences. A 176 foot, multi-level, vein-matched stone pool features a swim-up bar, sunken lounge, and dramatic viewing window that visually merges with the Pacific beyond. A state-of-the-art theater rivals the world's finest private cinemas, offering a 235-inch LED screen, Dolby Atmos sound, and bespoke Italian leather seating. A tranquil Japanese tea room provides a rare space for reflection and stillness. Entertaining is effortlessly supported by a full commercial-grade kitchen capable of serving up to 200 guests, alongside expansive terraces, shaded loggias, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Throughout the grounds, water and nature are seamlessly integrated through Japanese gardens, koi ponds, waterfalls, meditation courts, and meandering pathways that invite quiet contemplation. Swinging daybeds, a circular fire lounge, and open-air courtyards transform leisure into ritual. Wellness is central to the estate's design, with a private spa offering a cold plunge, sauna, treatment rooms, and a state-of-the-art fitness center accented by underwater pool windows. A private nightclub, guest suites, and an underground garage accommodating up to ten vehicles complete the lifestyle amenities. The apx. 1,800 sq.ft. primary suite floats above the ocean, serving as a deeply private retreat with its own hot tubs, fireplace lounge, and spa-inspired bath. Additional suites mirror this sense of intimacy, combining organic materials, curated furnishings, and sweeping ocean panoramas. Even the marble-clad powder rooms are conceived as sculptural works of art, underscoring the estate's uncompromising attention to detail. With 10 bedrooms, 20 bathrooms, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, Simka Malibu achieves a rare balance of monumentality and warmth. It is not a home created for a decade or a generation, but for centuries. Simka Malibu stands as a timeless expression of architecture, conceived for eternity.
