Cheers!

Inside a Tropical Oasis in Malibu

On a Malibu hillside not far from the cool blue depths of the Pacific, this secluded and secure 10-acre oasis exudes a chic coastal ambiance recalling the seaside escapes of Brazil, which offer peaceful natural respite from that country’s bustling metropolises. Rooms throughout the 3,878-square-foot floor plan open to a collection of patios, verandas, and breezy sitting alcoves, and the property’s constellation of towering palms, fruit, and avocado trees, and mature green foliage furthers the sense of tropical escape.

Brock Mansfield

"We recently hired Laura to help us sell a long-time family property. While Laura had already earned our respect for helping another family member sell a house a few years earlier, we still ran a competitive process as the property and house we were selling were somewhat unique. Her research and positioning suggestions made us believe she was the right candidate for this sale as well. Our trust in her was greatly rewarded. In addition to the top-quality marketing of the property, Laura did an excellent job in managing the family dynamics that come with the sale of a multi-generational property. When the offers started to arrive, Laura really shined with both her negotiating skills (truly top-drawer) and her communication (we were in the loop on all details during the negotiating process, no matter how small.) The outcome was both significantly above what we thought the value of the property might be, and a high watermark result for the geographic area and type of house. We would recommend her highly to anyone looking for an experienced and professional partner."
Luxury is an experience, not a price point.
