Key Benefits of the Property

1. Lifestyle

You have something very few Malibu properties possess:

• Ocean views

• Mountain views

• Privacy

• Acreage

• Wildlife

• Neighbors separation

• Architectural significance

​

2. Exceptional Privacy

• 32 acres in Malibu is extraordinarily rare.

• Separation from neighbors.

• Directly adjacent to the National Park Service creates open-space protection and limits future development behind you.

• Privacy without sacrificing views is one of the most valuable combinations in Southern California, and present here.

​

3. World-Class Views

• The Sunrises (see pictures) and Moonrises exposure due to the east-west orientation are inspirational.

• Whitewater ocean views of the Pacific and Leo Carrillo State Beach.

• Dramatic views of the Boney Ridge in the Santa Monica Mountains resemble the landscapes of Arizona and New Mexico.

• Ocean, Mountain, Sky, and Canyon views from a single property are exceptionally uncommon.

 

4. Fire Resilience

Following area wildfires, Luxury Buyers place a premium on homes that have already demonstrated survivability.

Permitting difficulties and escalating "new build" costs have increased the value of existing fire-resistant homes.

Resilient features include:

• Concrete construction

• Steel roof

• Extensive glass construction

• Existing defensible-space strategy

• Approved weed-abatement permits to expand defensible space area.

• Proven performance during a major wildfire

• Onsite water storage and a supplying well.

​

5. National Park Adjacency

You are effectively protected from future development behind you.

That creates:

• Privacy

• View protection

• Wildlife habitat

• Long-term scarcity

Many buyers will pay a premium simply because the land behind them cannot become a subdivision.

​

6. Scarcity Value is most important. A Buyer would face extraordinary challenges obtaining Approvals and Entitlements.

A Buyer is not simply purchasing 7,500 square feet of structures* & 32 acres*,​

They are purchasing:

• Existing legal entitlements

• Privacy Proven fire survivability

• Architectural significance

• Ocean and Mountain views

• National Park adjacency

• Proven fire survivability

• Development potential

• A Malibu retreat

• Main residence

• Guest house

• Future development polygon

• Approved 2,000 sq. ft. garage permit

• Existing defensible-space approvals

• Water Well, Solar panels and batteries, a generator

• And Amazing sunrises to start the day

These have value independent of the structures. Appraisal literature often refers to these as

property rights and entitlements that contribute directly to market value.

​

7. Architectural Pedigree

Having the home and guest house designed by George Wittman during his time with the Belzberg Wittman collaborative creates architectural significance.

Benefits include:

• Distinctive design

• Historical importance

• Publication history

• Recognition among architecture enthusiasts

A residence published internationally approximately 15 times has a level of provenance that many luxury homes cannot claim.

Connection to Your Property

One particularly interesting fact is that the first commission received by Belzberg Architects after Hagy Belzberg established his firm was the Malibu residence built for Bata Mataja. The project became known as the Mataja Residence and later appeared in the movie The Glass House.

George Daniel Wittman

Background

George Daniel Wittman is a Malibu-based architect and founder of George Daniel Wittman Architects (GDW/a). His work has focused heavily on custom residential architecture, planning, and environmentally responsive design.

Design Philosophy

His firm emphasizes:

• Site-responsive architecture

• Environmental sensitivity

• Integration of buildings into natural landscapes

• Highly customized residential design solutions

​

Professional Experience

George Wittman has maintained an architectural practice for decades and has served as principal architect and design consultant on numerous Southern California residential projects.

Connection to Your Property

Your description suggests that Wittman was involved both in the original Belzberg-Wittman collaboration and in the design of the new 2,000-square-foot storage facility/garage so that it remains architecturally consistent with the main residence and guest house.

​

For a future buyer, this continuity has value because:

• The architectural language remains intact.

• The new structure appears original to the estate.

• The property maintains design authenticity.

• Expansion was completed under the guidance of one of the architects associated with the original concept.

​

Why Architectural Significance Matters to Value

Many luxury homes are expensive.

Very few are:

• Designed by recognized architects:

• Hagy Belzberg

• George Wittman

• Published internationally.

• Built on 32 Malibu acres.

• Adjacent to National Park land.

• Have survived wildfire.

• Original design integrity maintained

• New garage designed by original architect

​

Most Malibu homes cannot claim these composition elements.

​

​

Quality and Uniqueness matter, in Art, in Cars, in Homes.

​

​

Many of these features would be extremely difficult to duplicated today regardless of budget.
