Property Description
A true sanctuary in every sense, this one-of-a-kind trophy estate by the late, legendary architect Howard Backen sits on the 7th hole of the iconic Riviera Country Club - the only Backen-designed home ever built on L.A.'s premier golf course. Encompassing approximately 12,240 SF, this 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom masterpiece captures sweeping views of the Santa Monica Mountains with some of the most breathtaking sunsets in the city. Backen, renowned for shaping modern California architecture, was a visionary of elegant simplicity, expressive natural materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. This home stands as a living tribute to his legacy - crafted with board-formed concrete, vaulted wood ceilings, steel-frame windows, and disappearing glass walls that dissolve the boundary between architecture and nature. Designed to elevate every moment, the estate features a massive motor court, a chef's kitchen, temperature-controlled wine cellar, movie theater, guest house, spa and wellness center, dedicated kids' lounge, and the most iconic man cave ever imagined. Fully powered by geothermal energy, this compound offers off-the-grid living without sacrificing a single luxury. This private retreat sits tucked away on what may be L.A.'s best-kept secret street. The location is unparalleled: discreetly positioned next to Channel Road, it offers quick access to the beaches, Malibu, the Brentwood Country Mart, and some of the finest dining - all while feeling worlds away from it all. Welcome to ground zero for luxury, privacy, and sophisticated Zen living.
