Property Description

The largest usable ownership on Point Dume featuring the Rindge Family’s historic “Rancher’s Bunkhouse,” exquisitely updated and remodeled to create a tropical paradise. The sale includes both Wildlife and Zumirez parcels totaling nearly 2.6 verdant acres with deeded beach rights to both Riviera I and Riviera II. Behind the gate lies a long driveway lined with palms and massive grassy lawns, completely enclosed by fencing, mature trees, and privacy hedges. Inside, the main home offers an open-concept floor plan and high ceilings that create beautiful natural light along with recessed lighting and rich, vintage wood beams. The living room centers around a stone fireplace and features a full bar with seating and a private outdoor patio. A Chef’s kitchen offers marble countertops, Viking appliances, and a large island with a wraparound breakfast bar and second sink. The primary suite is a peaceful sanctuary with sliding glass doors leading to the lush backyard, a separate enclosed patio, and spa-like bathroom featuring a water closet, soaking tub, dual vanities, and walk-in closet. An adjacent room offers an ideal office, den, or nursery. The comfortable guest bedroom has a vaulted wood ceiling, two closets, and en-suite bathroom, and there is an additional powder room connected to the backyard. Outside, enjoy a verdant oasis with a large pool and massive sun-filled patio enclosed by mature trees, perfectly suited to both entertain and recharge. A detached garage offers two covered spaces, plentiful storage, and a separate gym. There is a 1 bed/1 bed guest house with a separate driveway and enclosed grounds, complete with a well-equipped kitchen, living room, and private deck with an outdoor shower and bathtub. Both parcels offer deeded beach rights to Malibu’s most private and coveted beach, Little Dume. The undeveloped Zumirez parcel is ~0.77 acres with separate access and includes a fractional ownership in the highly desirable Riviera I, allowing you to park your car or golf cart at a small beachfront lot just above the beautiful, sandy cove. The Wildlife parcel is ~1.81 acres and includes beach rights to Riviera II, providing a second private access to the prized beaches below, blocked from the prevailing west wind and perfectly situated to capture south swells. This trophy property is ready to be enjoyed, expanded upon, or further developed to suit any need.
