Tucked away on a private cul-de-sac in the Malibu Hills, this ivy-covered country cottage offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and sweeping mountain views on a secluded ~½ acre lot. Blending charm with modern upgrades, the home features a designer gourmet kitchen with copper hood and sink, granite island, and a 500-bottle wine refrigerator, along with two wood-burning fireplaces, a mix of tile and wood flooring, and a converted garage gym. Designed for indoor-outdoor living, the expansive grounds include mature citrus trees, a full-length second-floor deck, and multiple entertaining areas. The backyard is a true retreat, highlighted by a 2022 PebbleTec pool and spa with rock waterfalls, outdoor sauna and shower, and a covered patio with retractable walls and heaters. Additional features include fully paid solar, updated HVAC (2025), new main water line (2018), Sonos indoor/outdoor sound system, EV charging, water softening system, two large storage sheds, and a composition shingle roof. Monte Nido offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenient access to both Malibu and Calabasas, making it one of the area’s most desirable canyon communities. Approved plans and permits for an ADU and home expansion offer exceptional value-add potential for future owners and investors alike. Located just minutes from both Malibu and Calabasas, this property combines privacy, luxury, and convenience.
