5 Extraordinary Malibu Estates with Iconic Oceanview Living

Along the water’s edge in Malibu’s Cove Colony, this Jay Vanos–designed residence reads as a carefully composed study of vertical and horizontal planes in wood, stone, and metal. Natural light moves through sliding glass walls, precisely placed skylights, and even an artistic glass floor, while American Southern cypress brings a durable, golden warmth to floors and walls beneath a soaring wave redwood ceiling. Ocean views appear from almost every room, including a great room with fireplace, a sitting/dining area, and a gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances. Glass walls open to an outdoor deck suited to both intimate gatherings and larger entertaining. Three spacious master suites—each with fireplace, spa-like bath, large closet, and ocean-view deck—are joined by two additional bedrooms, plus an office/den, reading/library area, art studio, indoor sauna, and a zen-style wellness area with sauna and cold plunge. Steps descend to surfboard storage and direct beach access at Latigo.

Along the water’s edge on Point Dume, this Edward R. Niles–designed legacy estate unfolds across over four acres and four parcels, rising above the bluffs with panoramic Pacific Ocean views that take in Queen’s Necklace and Paradise Cove. Glass, wood, and geometry shape a modernist composition centered on an arboretum pavilion, where a 30-foot glass ceiling, latticed with wood slats, washes the interior in natural light. A copper-and-glass sunken fireplace with built-in seating anchors the space, flowing out to bluff-top terraces, a koi pond, and cascading water features. The plan moves from a triangular dining room with ocean and pool vistas to a black marble-and-wood bar lounge, chef’s kitchen with butler’s pantry, and a glass-walled office among the trees. Below: wet bar lounge, screening room, and wine cellar; above: a full-floor primary suite with dual spa-inspired baths and a private terrace with whitewater views.

Along the water’s edge above Dume Cove, this gated Cliffside Drive estate captures sweeping ocean, island, and coastline views with over 100 feet of view frontage on a majestic blufftop setting.

Indoor-outdoor living unfolds onto dramatic terraced patios for sunrise-to-sunset outlooks, al fresco dining, and gatherings. The ocean-view kitchen pairs a vast skylight with top-of-the-line appliances and dual islands. Outside, enjoy an all-season dining patio with barbecue and massive stone table, a covered outdoor living room, and a swimming pool and spa framed by manicured landscaping.
