Rarely does a home of this distinction come to market. Situated within the coveted, 24-hour guard-gated enclave of The Palisades Country Estates, this warm-modern sanctuary was custom-conceived by the owners in 2018 as their private residence. Sparing no expense, every square foot was meticulously curated to create a bespoke architectural masterpiece that balances grand-scale entertaining with intimate, everyday luxury.The journey begins at a massive pivot door, opening to an impressive main living space defined by 11-foot ceilings and smooth concrete floors. The living room is anchored by a stunning fireplace with a reeded travertine hearth, complemented by a wet bar and a handmade floating metal-and-glass staircase. Beyond the formal dining room, flanked by gallery walls and custom built-ins, is the chef's kitchen. This culinary center features a massive island, custom cabinetry, and a professional-tier appliance suite by Wolf, Miele, and Sub-Zero. Exceptional utility is provided via a walk-in pantry, a butler's pantry, and dedicated wine storage. The main level's common rooms seamlessly transition outdoors through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass pocket doors, blurring the lines between the interior and the landscape. This level also includes a versatile bedroom suite (currently utilized as an office), two elegant powder rooms, and a world-class cinema. The 10-stadium-seat theater is a feat of engineering, featuring a 4K projector, Dolby surround sound, and a structure designed to literally "float" above the foundation for peak acoustic isolation.Retreat upstairs via the front floating staircase or the discreet rear stairs to find four expansive bedroom suites. The primary wing is a masterclass in design; a dedicated hallway leads to the bedroom where walls of glass meet at the corner and pocket away, inviting the backyard views inside. This sanctuary is replete with a fireplace, wet bar, and specialized interior/exterior blackout shades for an optimized sleep environment. The spa-inspired bath offers an open-concept double rainfall shower, a standalone soaking tub, heated floors, and dual oversized walk-in closets.Resting on nearly an acre, the resort-style backyard features multiple lounge areas, a picturesque alfresco dining space framed by olive trees, a pool and spa complemented by a cantilevered firepit deck, and a top-tier Wolf/Lynx BBQ station. A private trail winds up the hillside to an upper viewing deck tucked within mature landscaping.The home's functional "brain" is equally impressive, featuring whole-house Crestron automation, multi-zone HVAC with HEPA filtration, and a whole-house water softening and filtration system. Energy efficiency is paramount, powered by 44 solar panels to multiple Tesla Powerwalls. The residence is completed by a gym, a large laundry room, an oversized 2-car garage with EV charging, 2-car covered car port, and expansive subterranean storage. In addition to 24/7 guards and mobile patrols within The Palisades Country Estates, the house itself benefits from a dedicated state-of-the-art security system linked directly to a 24/7 control center, ensuring unparalleled peace of mind.Perfectly positioned just up the hill from the Pacific Coast Highway, this private estate offers a lifestyle of serenity and convenience, with easy access to Palisades Village, Malibu, and the Westside.
