A pristinely redone and truly breathtaking Malibu "Serra Retreat" estate with commanding ocean views spanning the Malibu Pier, Surfrider Beach, and the endless whitewater coastline, securely positioned behind the 24-hour guard gates of Serra Retreat, Malibu's most prestigious private enclave. A future equestrian estate awaiting vision and execution, this extraordinary offering presents a rare opportunity to create a world-class compound with a riding ring, guest residence, staff quarters, and resort-style amenities (buyer to conduct their own due diligence).
