About This Property

Nestled on 4 acres of serene, pastoral land, this rare Malibu estate property perfectly blends rustic charm with coastal living. Offered for the first time and set beneath 200-year-old Sycamore trees, the Bonsall Canyon property offers endless possibilities. The 1940s ranch-style home is an example of vintage craftsmanship such as textured ceilings, antique hardware, and parquet flooring a true nod to timeless design. Once home to an Arabian horse farm, this estate is a paradise for equestrian enthusiasts, room for a dressage arena, horse stalls, and paddocks. Just moments from the Zuma Canyon Trailhead, you'll have access to miles of scenic horseback riding trails. If farming is your passion, Bonsall's fertile soil, renowned for supporting local farms like Thorne Family Farms and Zuma Orchids, offers an excellent opportunity to create a working micro farm. Whether you envision vineyards, orchards, or vegetable gardens, the land is primed for abundant growth. All of this, and you're still just a minute from iconic Zuma Beach. This is one of the last large plots of land this close to the beach, offering a rare chance to own a slice of Malibu's rich history and natural beauty.
