At the very end of a private drive and cul-de-sac, this mid-century home occupies one of the most special settings in the Santa Monica Mountains. With no through traffic and protected open space immediately beyond, the property feels remarkably private, yet remains within easy reach of Calabasas, Malibu, and Los Angeles. The house sits on its own promontory, with uninterrupted views across the surrounding mountains and canyons and spectacular sunsets over the landscape. Walls of glass and broad wraparound terraces make the setting part of almost every room, creating a rare feeling of living directly within the mountains rather than simply looking out at them. Perhaps most unusually, the property offers direct access to the surrounding trail network and protected open space. Step out of the house and directly onto hiking and equestrian trails, without needing to drive to a trailhead. It is an extraordinary combination of privacy, nature, and proximity to the city. Built in 1965, the four-bedroom mid-century residence was designed around this landscape. Light-filled living spaces open onto expansive decks, while the grounds include a swimming pool, gazebo and terraced gardens, all oriented toward the views. The interiors have been updated, including a reimagined kitchen, while retaining the original house's openness and indoor-outdoor character. More than anything, this property is defined by where it sits: at the end of the road, surrounded by mountains, with open space at the doorstep and nothing interrupting the view.
