5 New Construction and Luxury Estates from Malibu to Westport

From its elevated setting in one of Holmby Hills’ most prestigious and private neighborhoods, The Monocle is a newly built estate framed by valley, mountain, and treetop views. Spanning three levels, the residence offers six bedrooms and 12 baths, with each bedroom conceived as a private retreat complete with an ensuite bath and generous closets. A chef’s kitchen anchors daily life with premium Miele appliances, dual mini wine cellars, and a cozy breakfast nook, while an office, elevator, two laundry rooms, and a dedicated wine cellar add ease and intention throughout. The primary suite stands apart with a private balcony, fireplace, dual closets, a hidden ceiling TV, and two spa-like bathrooms. On the lower level, entertaining unfolds around a bar, gym, spa, pool, yoga room, and massage area, extending outdoors to manicured grounds, a pool and spa, and a fully equipped BBQ kitchen.

Within the exclusive Riviera neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, this new construction by renowned builder Fountainhead Homes unfolds across three stories with a poised blend of classic traditional architecture and luxurious contemporary finishes. A stately exterior sets the tone for warm, light-filled interiors, where rich wood flooring, detailed millwork, and soaring ceilings create an easy sense of scale. At the center, a chef’s kitchen is tailored for modern living, appointed with state-of-the-art appliances, custom cabinetry, and an oversized island designed for gathering. Formal living and dining rooms transition smoothly into casual family spaces, balancing grandeur with everyday comfort. The family room opens to an expansive backyard retreat with a sparkling pool and manicured gardens that offer privacy. Throughout, the craftsmanship feels deliberate and enduring—traditional Pacific Palisades living, refined for the present.

Along the water’s edge on one of Malibu Road’s most coveted sandy stretches, this new-construction oceanfront residence pairs rare privacy—set 400 yards from the nearest public access—with wide-open sunset views across the Pacific. Designed by Malibu architect Doug Burdge with interiors by Ferrugio Design, the home is already at grade, with the foundation and seawall complete. On the first level, a massive great room gathers an expansive center-island chef’s kitchen, dining area, living space with entertainment center, and a bar/wine cellar, all wrapped in walls of glass that open to a 450-square-foot oceanfront deck for al fresco dinners and BBQs. Upstairs, the oceanfront primary suite includes double closets, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a private deck, alongside a family room and three en-suite bedrooms. Above it all, a 430+ square-foot roof deck with jacuzzi, outdoor fireplace, and outdoor kitchen frames sunrise-to-sunset panoramas over Santa Monica Bay.

Set in one of Westport’s premier neighborhoods, this estate pairs sophisticated modern design with an easy, indoor-outdoor rhythm. Daily life naturally extends outside, where a fully equipped outdoor kitchen sets the stage for long lunches, casual weeknights, and effortless entertaining. A salt-water pool anchors the outdoor experience, offering a refreshing counterpoint to the home’s clean, contemporary sensibility. Practicality is equally considered, with a 4-car garage providing generous space for vehicles and storage. The residence is also presented as an opportunity: a place to customize, refine, and bring your own vision to life within an already compelling modern framework. Here, the setting and amenities create a calm backdrop for both lively gatherings and quieter routines, with room for the next chapter to take shape.

Set amid approximately 3.88 acres of beautifully curated grounds, Casa Vista Linda is a Marc Whitman-designed retreat that balances Old-World charm with modern comfort. Inside, custom fireplaces bring warmth and rhythm to the living spaces, while walnut finishes and one-of-a-kind stained glass add depth and craft. A dedicated wine room invites slow evenings and easy entertaining, and the wellness center supports a daily routine grounded in restoration. Expansive terraces extend the home outward, framing panoramic views and creating natural gathering places from morning coffee to late sunsets. Described as offering resort-style amenities, the setting reads like a private escape—yet it remains just minutes from the shops, galleries, and restaurants of Ojai’s downtown village. Days here can unfold indoors and out, with beauty built into every transition.
