Home of the Day: Malibu compound with modern giddy-up and go
Mature trees, including avocado and evergreens, surround the 1.5-acre property which has underground access to nearby Zuma Beach, state park land and trails for hiking and horseback riding.
This rural contemporary, designed by Vitus Matare & Associates, epitomizes the indoor-outdoor lifestyle associated with Southern California. Steel beams and retractable glass walls frame a pastoral setting filled with garden beds, outdoor firepits and paddocks for horses. Concrete floors and 70-year-old reclaimed woodwork lend a rustic note to the bright and airy interiors.
