The Spanish Estate
One level, one acre, and the Pacific in nearly every room.
Barry Berkus, A.I.A., drew the house on a single level around a sheltered courtyard, so the ocean is on axis from the moment the entry doors open. The great room runs sixty feet beneath a sixteen-foot beamed ceiling and opens through walls of glass to the terrace, the lawn and the pool along the bluff.
There are two primary suites — “Sunrise” and “Sunset,” named for the light each one takes — both with gallery closets. Three further bedrooms, a bar, a media room, a library and a wine cellar complete the plan. Fireplaces warm the great room, the dining room and the primary suite; outside, a wood-burning hearth and a built-in grill anchor the courtyard.
Completed in 2013 on a full acre in MariSol, at the western edge of Malibu, the property looks across white water to open ocean and the islands on the horizon.

The house, from the gate to the horizon.
Arrival, the great room, the suites, the courtyard and pool, then the same rooms again as the light goes — and the view from the air.

MariSol · County Line
The western edge of Malibu, where the coast opens up.
Ellice Street runs along the bluff above Pacific Coast Highway at County Line — a Malibu address just inside Ventura County. County Line Beach, the surf break the Beach Boys sang about, is directly below; Leo Carrillo State Park and the trailheads of the Santa Monica Mountains are minutes along the highway.
MariSol is a small gated community of estates built from 2010 onward along Ellice Street, with the mountains behind and open water in front.
