    About this House

    Howard Backen understood that a home should feel inseparable from its surroundings. Set across approximately 4.45 acres with an extraordinary 543 feet of frontage along Malibu Road, overlooking the Malibu coast and Pacific Ocean, 24157 Malibu Road provides a future setting of remarkable scale for that philosophy. The design was conceived specifically for this property, bringing the legendary architect's unmistakable warmth and restraint to one of Malibu's most extraordinary settings. One of the most influential California architects of his generation, Backen was inducted into Architectural Digest's AD100 Hall of Fame. His celebrated work spanning extraordinary private residences, wineries and hospitality projects helped define a distinctly Californian architecture rooted in natural materials and a profound connection to the land. The approximately 11,759-square-foot residence unfolds as a collection of interconnected structures rather than a single imposing form. Wood, stone and expansive walls of glass establish a natural material palette, while courtyards, gardens and terraces are woven throughout the architecture. Rooms open generously to the outdoors, drawing in ocean views, sunlight and the landscape and creating the relaxed intimacy that defines Backen's best work. A gated approach leads through the property to separate motor courts, allowing the house to reveal itself gradually. At its center, a dramatic great room with soaring wood-beamed ceilings opens in two directions: toward the Pacific Ocean and to a sheltered courtyard with fireplace. The kitchen, family and dining spaces are similarly connected to the outdoors, designed for a way of living that can move easily from quiet, everyday moments to large-scale entertaining. Across three levels connected by elevator, the plan includes private guest accommodations, staff quarters and a secluded primary suite, along with a gym, media room and wine room. Outside, the architecture continues through a series of terraces and landscaped spaces with a swimming pool, spa and outdoor kitchen. Every element has been considered as part of the whole, from the siting of the structures and progression between rooms to the relationship between architecture, landscape and ocean. The result is a home of significant scale that still feels intimate, informal and distinctly Californian. 24157 Malibu Road presents an extraordinary opportunity to bring a fully realized Howard Backen residence to life in Malibu. Years of design and entitlement work have already been completed, with building permits paid and issued, preserving a singular architectural vision and creating the rare chance to realize the work of one of California's most celebrated architects on an extraordinary stretch of the Malibu coast.

      "Do not commute - I am now retired Commuting is a nightmare in the AM as it is always bumper to bumper It would make a huge improvement if they would sink the lights or open the center lane southbound and facilitate the traffic flow. If it rains you can guarantee that the storm drains haven’t been cleared as they have never been on a maintenance schedule in the past forty years I have lived here so they always backup and cause the highway to have huge flooded area resulting in some clown going to fast and causing an accident. The first rains always seem to cause the signal lights to go out too! People seem to forget that PCH is one of the year long most heavily used highways in the country. The first rains always mix with the motor oil on the road making it VERY DANGEROUS yet people forget to slow down thus more accidents than normal. Summertime brings thousands of tourists so forget trying to go in to town. If a weekend is nice weather you can guarantee it’s bumper to bumper coming into Malibu in the AM and even worse from 3 PM on going back to town. If CAL trans does any work they always set up before their allocated 8:30 AM time causing more “looky-loo” slowing !"
