3 Bedroom House in Agoura Hills
The Lake House at Malibu – A Private Hillside Retreat
Just moments from the shores of historic Malibu Lake, The Lake House at Malibu is a stunning, design-forward escape that blends high style with California’s iconic indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Founded over a century ago as a mountain hunting getaway, Malibu Lake is steeped in Hollywood lore and natural beauty—home to film shoots, famous residents, and flowing winter waters from the Las Virgenes River. While the lake itself is not open to the public, its serenity adds an unmatched sense of calm to your stay.
Surrounded by oak-dotted mountains and just a short drive from Malibu’s famous beaches, vineyards, and scenic hikes, this one-of-a-kind home offers the perfect balance of luxury, seclusion, and adventure. Guests can walk or bike directly from the home into Las Virgenes Park to discover the legendary MAS*H 4077 film site, or head over the ridge to Paramount Ranch, a Western film set once owned by Paramount Pictures. You might even catch a production in progress—film crews are a common sight.
Inside, thoughtful architecture and striking interiors set the tone for an unforgettable stay. Towering windows frame sweeping views of the Santa Monica Mountains, while a fully equipped kitchen, stylish dining area, and spacious living room invite connection and comfort. Three beautifully appointed bedrooms and two full bathrooms offer tranquility and rest, with modern conveniences like in-home laundry, parking, and a Peloton making daily life feel effortlessly elevated.
Outside, the magic continues. The upper deck features a cozy firepit with panoramic views—ideal for golden hour cocktails or stargazing. Downstairs, the backyard offers a private pool surrounded by plush loungers, shaded seating, and a second firepit for laid-back evenings under the stars. Whether you’re hosting friends or unwinding after paddleboarding nearby, every corner of this home invites connection and calm.
Dining here is an experience all its own. Local institutions like The Old Place (an iconic mountain tavern featured in film and music events), SaddlePeak Lodge (for wild game and romantic vibes), and Malibu Café (a whimsical garden setting perfect for families) offer one-of-a-kind meals just minutes away. In nearby town centers, try Mediterraneo’s outdoor dining, Paul Martin’s American classics, or Basta for casual Italian. For beachside eats, Neptune’s Net is a local legend—and Nobu Malibu offers a celebrity-spotted fine dining experience.
Other local gems include Cielo Farms, an exclusive mountain wine garden just 10 minutes away, and the protected cove at Malibu Pier, perfect for kayaking or family beach days. From scenic horseback rides with Malibu Riders to Zuma’s kite-flying winds and volleyball courts, the area offers something for every kind of traveler.
From its architectural charm to its rich cultural backdrop, The Lake House at Malibu is a high-style haven made for those who want to slow down, explore deeply, and savor every moment.
