Lucky Ranch, an Enchanting Malibu Retreat and Horse Property – approx. 11-acre Malibu ranch offering privacy, natural beauty, and refined country living. Located in Malibu’s rolling hills and bordered by the majestic Santa Monica Mountains, up Encinal to Mulholland Hwy., this rare gem features fully fenced, gated, and predominantly flat terrain, creating a true sanctuary just minutes from the iconic Backbone Trail and endless hiking and equestrian adventures. As you pass through the double gates and enter the circular motor court, the magic of Lucky Ranch unfolds. The main residence has soaring wood-plank ceilings, dramatic beams, and magnificent river-stone fireplaces in both the living and family rooms. These light-filled spaces seamlessly connect to lush gardens, inviting patios, and manicured lawns. A delightful dining area with expansive windows frames the serene front yard, while the country kitchen offers generous cabinetry, abundant counter space, and a convenient pantry. The main floor has two charming bedrooms, with the entire upper level dedicated to a primary suite, a private retreat with high plank-and-beam ceilings, warm wood floors, fireplace, a walk-in closet, and French doors leading to a balcony with pool views. There is a detached one-bedroom guest house features its own kitchen, living room, and garage, ensuring privacy and convenience for all. The main home has a three-car garage, complete with laundry facilities. Outdoors, Lucky Ranch is a true entertainer’s paradise and perfect for equestrian lovers. The irrigated grounds are home to an impressive variety of trees, avocado, orange, lemon, peach, willow, pepper, sycamore, oak, boxwood, maple, strawberry, and redwood. In 2019, 240 evergreen trees were added to further enhance the lush landscape. With 6,000 linear feet of secure black vinyl chain-link fencing and double gates, Lucky Ranch ensures unparalleled privacy and peace of mind. A Kohler propane generator stands ready to power the entire estate, while additional outbuildings including a maintenance structure and a kennel that can be repurposed as a barn provide flexible spaces for hobbies or expansion. The centerpiece of the backyard is an expansive grotto-style Pebble Tec pool and spa, adorned with dramatic rock formations, a cascading waterfall, and multiple flagstone patios ideal for alfresco dining and lounging. Gather around the fire-feature table or prepare feasts in the outdoor kitchen and barbecue area with bar seating. Beyond the pool, a seasonal creek with a charming footbridge leads to verdant gardens and a thriving orchard.
