Description
Lucky Ranch, an unparalleled Malibu ranch estate set on eleven acres of serene privacy, fenced, gated and flat land. House, guest house, well water, pool, shed, and mountain views. With the Santa Monica Mountains as a backdrop and nearby hiking and equestrian trails, including the iconic Backbone Trail, this Malibu ranch offers a peaceful retreat in a stunning natural setting. Enter through the gates onto a vast circular motor court. The living and family rooms showcase soaring wood-plank ceilings with impressive beams and trusses, along with massive river-stone fireplaces. Both rooms open directly to beautifully landscaped gardens, patios, and lawns. A charming dining area with large windows and fanlights provides a view of the expansive front yard, complete with lush trees. The country kitchen, situated between the living and family rooms, offers ample counter and cupboard space, as well as a pantry. The main floor includes two bedrooms, while the upper level is dedicated to the primary suite with high plank-and-beam ceilings, wood floors, a cozy fireplace, a walk-in closet, and French doors leading to a balcony with pool views. A separate one-bedroom guest house, complete with a kitchen, living room, and one-car garage, offers additional space for visitors. The main home's three-car garage includes the washer and dryer. The expansive backyard is anchored by a large, grotto-style Pebble Tec pool and spa, featuring striking rock formations and a waterfall and multiple flagstone patios for dining and lounging, a fire-feature table with a built-in stone bench, and an outdoor kitchen and barbecue with bar seating. The property also features a seasonal creek with a footbridge leading to lush gardens and a productive orchard and irrigated gardens with a variety of trees, avocado, orange, lemon, peach, willow, pepper, sycamore, oak, boxwood, maple, strawberry, and redwood, with 240 evergreen trees added in 2019. Enclosed by 6,000 linear feet of 6-foot black vinyl chain-link fencing with double gates, the property includes an auto-start Kohler propane generator that services the entire estate. Additional outbuildings include a maintenance structure and a kennel that could be repurposed as a barn.
