PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • High Available Lot Utilization

    The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 1691434, living area = 4739.

  • Panoramic Views & Secluded Estate

    Offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Coast and Santa Monica Mountains from a private, 39-acre ridge-top estate nestled within protected parkland, ensuring unparalleled privacy and no close neighbors.

  • Proven Income-Generating Asset

    Functions as a fully licensed luxury vacation rental and event venue, consistently generating substantial annual income from weddings, productions, and high-end rentals for over 10 years.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Significant Maintenance Requirements

    The expansive 39-acre property, extensive landscaping, large pool, spa, and complex off-grid systems will necessitate substantial ongoing maintenance and operational costs.

  • Event-Focused Infrastructure

    While a revenue stream, the property's design and capacity for large events (e.g., 75-vehicle parking) may not appeal to buyers seeking a purely private, quiet residential sanctuary without event traffic.

  • Relative Seclusion

    Located in the tranquil western end of Malibu with no close neighbors, its secluded nature, while a strength for privacy, might be a drawback for those desiring closer proximity to community amenities or services.

About 9785 Deer Creek Road

Deer Creek Ridge is a thirty-nine-acre trophy estate in the tranquil western end of Malibu. The property lies within hundreds of acres of pristine, protected parkland and has no close neighbors. It boasts breathtaking views of both the Pacific Coast from Catalina to the Channel Islands, and the majestic Santa Monica Mountains. The ridge-top villa, designed by renowned Santa Barbara firm Thomson Naylor, is an informed and elegant iteration of Spanish/Moorish architecture that references Old Hollywood style while employing airy, modern aesthetics. Dramatic terrain puts the house at twelve hundred feet above the ocean, but only three to four minutes' drive from PCH and Deer Creek Beach. A large pool, spa and multiple shaded lounging areas all enjoy the vistas which, combined with music in and out and manicured landscaping, lend the place an ethereal, resort-like feeling. Other assets include a newly remodeled kitchen with premium appliances, multi-zone HVAC, built-in speakers, home automation and security systems, wood-burning masonry fireplace, two 2-car garages and guest parking for about 75 vehicles inside the gated property. The property is entirely self-contained, with a healthy well and state-of-the art off-grid infrastructure, placing it beyond utility bills, power cuts and water restrictions. Original construction prioritized fire safety and with plenty of easily cleared, defensible space around it, the structure has survived two direct hits from the Springs and Woolsey Fires virtually unscathed. This private estate impossible to recreate with current building/zoning restrictions has been generating a substantial annual income for the last 10 years. Deer Creek Ridge is a well-known, fully licensed luxury vacation rental, and has been used extensively for weddings, events, fashion and photo shoots, music videos, proposals, and Hollywood production.
