5927 Busch Dr, Malibu, CA 90265

Once the home of legendary landscape designer Jay Griffith, this extraordinary 2-bedroom (plus office and a den) home was rebuilt from the ground up and completed in 2023; a rare achievement that seamlessly honors its mid-century roots while delivering an entirely new level of craftsmanship and intention. Set within park-like grounds that embody Griffith's vision of living in harmony with nature, the home was designed with a singular purpose: to decompress, to quiet the mind, and to reconnect. Creatives feel it immediately. Mature trees, native plantings, and winding garden paths create a lush environment where architecture and landscape feel inseparable. Inside, vaulted wood ceilings and expansive walls of glass flood the interiors with natural light while opening to patios, gardens, and outdoor living spaces that dissolve the boundary between inside and out. Natural clay plaster throughout imparts a warmth and stillness that is rare and immediately felt. Every room is oriented toward the landscape, creating a Zen-like calm that visitors consistently describe as transformative. The craftsmanship throughout is exceptional and deeply considered: handcrafted yellow cedar screen doors offer privacy and gentle separation, handcrafted Japanese tile graces the bath areas, and fluted-glass pocket doors sourced from Italy add an understated sculptural quality. Bath fixtures by Agape and Bang & Olufsen speakers reflect the same commitment to quality without ostentation. At the heart of the home, a beautifully crafted Henrybuilt kitchen anchors the living spaces with sculptural cabinetry and integrated storage, while the informal eating area just off the kitchen creates an intimate, special space to gather and linger. Whitewater ocean views provide a stunning coastal backdrop, while the location places you adjacent to Malibu Equestrian Park, moments from Zuma Beach, and with easy access to the Zuma Ridge and Zuma Canyon hiking trails. Privacy, natural beauty, and the best of Malibu's outdoor life all in one extraordinary offering. Airstream trailer (which can serve as another bedroom or office) is included. A rare lease opportunity for those who understand that the finest homes don't just shelter, they restore. MLS ID 26665291 Read More
