One of Malibu’s most recognizable celebrity homes has returned to the market with a $16.85 million asking price, reviving a property that blends beachfront luxury with a unique place in television history. Best known as the exterior of Miley Stewart’s Malibu residence in Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana, the Broad Beach estate is once again drawing attention from buyers seeking both architectural pedigree and cultural cachet.
According to the listing, the 5,653-square-foot residence offers seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, nearly 80 feet of direct ocean frontage, and a detached guest house, all positioned along one of Malibu’s most coveted stretches of sand.
The property is represented by Chris Cortazzo of Compass, who told californialuxuryhouses that homes with this combination of privacy, frontage, and entertainment history rarely become available on Broad Beach.
“This is a truly special offering because it appeals to both luxury buyers and collectors of iconic California real estate,” Cortazzo said. “The home has been thoughtfully maintained while preserving the relaxed coastal character that made it so memorable on screen.”
A Broad Beach Estate With Hollywood Recognition
The home’s connection to Hannah Montana has long distinguished it from neighboring estates, but its media résumé extends beyond Disney. The property also served as a filming location for the fourth season of HBO Max’s Selena + Chef, with several interior scenes shot in the residence’s expansive kitchen and living areas.
Public records indicate the estate was originally built in 1992, and it has changed hands multiple times over the years as Broad Beach values climbed dramatically. The current listing follows an earlier marketing campaign in 2025, when the property was introduced to the market at a higher price before being repositioned in 2026.
While the identity of the current owner has not been publicly discussed by the listing team, californialuxuryhouses reached out for additional comment regarding the home’s ownership history but did not receive a response by publication time.
Arrival Through a Private Coastal Compound
Unlike many beachfront homes that place the garage directly beside the main residence, this estate is organized as a small compound. A detached three-car garage and guest house sit at the front of the property, creating a private buffer from the street.
From there, a landscaped staircase rises through tropical plantings to a covered pavilion entry, where vaulted ceilings, white railings, and lantern lighting establish a classic Cape Cod arrival experience. Inside, a skylit foyer with light oak floors and an open staircase introduces the bright, airy aesthetic that continues throughout the home.
The layout is designed to emphasize the Pacific at every turn. Walls of glass, French doors, and elevated terraces ensure that ocean views remain the dominant feature of the residence.
Soaring Living Spaces Framed by the Pacific
The main great room is the architectural centerpiece of the home. Approximately 20-foot open-beamed ceilings, a long overhead skylight, and broad ocean-facing windows fill the space with natural light throughout the day.
A painted brick fireplace anchors the seating area, while custom built-ins and oversized lounge furnishings create a setting equally suited for large gatherings or quiet evenings facing the water.
“The scale of the great room is what surprises most visitors,” Cortazzo told californialuxuryhouses. “You have the warmth of a traditional beach house, but the volume and sightlines feel much more like a contemporary oceanfront estate.”
French doors open directly onto an elevated dining terrace, allowing the indoor living spaces to flow naturally toward the beachfront entertaining areas.
A Gourmet Kitchen Designed for Entertaining
Just beyond the living room, the gourmet kitchen combines professional-grade functionality with a relaxed coastal palette. The space features an oversized granite-topped island beneath a large skylight, white cabinetry, black stone counters, and warm wood flooring.
The kitchen is equipped with Viking appliances, three ovens, two dishwashers, and extensive prep space, making it capable of handling both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. Fans of Selena + Chef may recognize the room as one of the show’s primary filming locations.
An adjacent casual dining area is wrapped in windows and French doors, capturing panoramic views of the Pacific and the Broad Beach shoreline.
Dual Primary Suites and Spa-Inspired Baths
One of the home’s most desirable features is its pair of primary suites, including an upper-level oceanfront retreat that opens directly onto a private deck.
The suite includes soft neutral finishes, a sitting area, and French doors leading to a secluded terrace with its own outdoor fireplace—an unusually intimate setting for a beachfront property.
The accompanying bath is finished with custom marble surfaces, dual vanities, a glass-enclosed steam shower, and a deep soaking tub positioned for privacy rather than display.
“The owner invested heavily in the wellness components of the home,” Cortazzo said. “The steam shower, sauna, spa, and outdoor relaxation areas were all designed to create a resort-like experience without leaving the property.”
Guest House and Entertainment Spaces
Separate from the main residence, the detached guest house provides a fully self-contained living environment with its own kitchen, living room, and spacious upstairs bedroom. This arrangement is particularly valuable for extended family, visiting guests, or staff accommodations.
The lower level of the main house includes a billiards and bar room with a full-size pool table, fireplace lounge, wet bar, and direct access to the patio, creating a more casual entertainment zone while maintaining the home’s bright coastal aesthetic.
Beachfront Living on 80 Feet of Broad Beach
Outside, the property makes full use of its nearly 80 feet of frontage along Broad Beach. Covered lounges, dining terraces, a spa, fire pit, and multiple seating areas are positioned to capture uninterrupted coastline views.
A gated path leads directly from the property to the sand, offering the kind of immediate beach access that has become increasingly scarce in Malibu’s luxury market.
The home’s orientation also provides sweeping sunset views stretching along the western coastline, a feature that continues to command a premium among oceanfront buyers.
Why Broad Beach Remains One of Malibu’s Most Valuable Enclaves
Broad Beach is consistently ranked among the most desirable residential enclaves in Malibu due to its wider sandy frontage, relative privacy, and concentration of high-value estates.
Residents are minutes from Trancas Country Market, Malibu Brewing Company, Vintage Grocers, Broad Street Oyster Co., and Zuma Beach, while Pacific Coast Highway provides access to Santa Monica and Beverly Hills.
The neighborhood has also benefited from continued demand for turnkey beachfront properties, particularly among buyers seeking second homes, wellness-oriented retreats, and legacy family assets.
“Broad Beach has evolved into a market where buyers are looking for properties they can enjoy immediately for years, not projects that require major renovation,” Cortazzo told californialuxuryhouses. “This home fits that trend exceptionally well.”
A Rare Blend of Pop Culture and Prime Malibu Real Estate
Celebrity homes come and go on the Malibu market, but few carry the lasting recognition of the Hannah Montana house. Its appeal extends beyond nostalgia: the estate offers substantial beachfront frontage, a functional compound layout, resort-style amenities, and a location that remains firmly within Malibu’s top tier.
For buyers who value both lifestyle and story, the property represents something increasingly uncommon in California luxury real estate—a home that is not only beautiful and well-positioned, but also instantly recognizable to an entire generation of viewers.
As Malibu continues to attract global wealth and lifestyle-driven buyers, the relisting of this Broad Beach estate highlights the enduring premium placed on properties that combine architectural comfort, direct ocean access, and a cultural legacy that cannot be replicated.
