The Von Hagen Residence, Ladd & Kelsey Architects. Beyond the steel gated entry, a long private drive gracefully ascends through park-like grounds to a broad plateau atop the mountain summit. Like the adobes at Acoma pueblo, living and working spaces hug the ground, and flow naturally across the landscape. The vistas from this 13 acre site can honestly be characterized as nothing less than exhilarating. From above Malibu, views sweep over the Santa Monica Bay, Catalina, Palos Verdes, Long Beach and downtown LA, and continue to the San Fernando Valley, across the Simi Hills and far beyond to the San Bernardino mountains. The residence incorporates 4 bedroom suites, living room, dining room, den, kitchen and butler's pantry. Every room has views and direct access to the outside via tall glass sliding doors. The living room adjoins the dining room that opens to the ocean view and to the atrium and pool opposite. The master bedroom suite includes a fireplace, a luxurious large bath, dressing room, 2 cedar walk-in closets and a kitchenette. One of the other suites has its own living room and kitchenette. The 4-car carport is attached. Across from the residence is a 3,300 sf. accessory building/showroom/garage that lends itself to multiple uses. It includes a workshop, kitchenette, laundry, 2 baths and ample storage space. All 6 lots are 13 acres combined.
