Tucked within the Latigo Canyon area of the Malibu Hills, this rare 25+ acre property offers something increasingly difficult to find: scale, privacy, and a profound sense of calm. More than just a property, this is a secluded retreat -- a place designed by nature to be experienced slowly and savored daily.The land unfolds like a private park, with over three miles of meandering trails and paths leading to a series of enchanting destinations. Each turn reveals a new surprise: a quiet bench beneath a majestic oak, a hand-built bridge crossing a seasonal creek, a gentle waterfall after winter rains, a hammock perched on a bluff overlooking the canyon, or a hilltop table and chairs with sweeping ocean views. The setting is immersive and ever-changing, offering moments of solitude, reflection, and quiet joy throughout the day.Mature coastal oak woodland anchors the landscape, complemented by abundant native flora and fauna including ceanothus, hummingbird sage, and established gardens with productive fruit trees. Numerous naturally flat and gently sloping clearings provide usable space while preserving the property's organic, untouched feel. The land directly abuts approximately 800 acres of protected state land, ensuring lasting privacy and an uninterrupted natural backdrop. A second parcel offers ocean views, adding a rare layer of optionality and long-term view protection while maintaining the property's peaceful, canyon-nested character.Once affected by the Woolsey Fire, the land has regenerated beautifully, restoring its balance and tranquility. The property now presents an opportunity to build your dream home with expedited Fire Rebuild permits, allowing for a thoughtfully designed residence that sits harmoniously within its surroundings. Existing improvements include an operating well, utility connections, septic system, an approximately 750-square-foot 1 bedroom/1 bath accessory structure, as well as a restored vintage travel trailer, gazebo with sitting area and bocce court.This is a truly special place for someone who values stewardship, simplicity, and long-term enjoyment; where the ultimate luxury is acreage, silence, open skies, and the enduring sense of privacy created by surrounding open land.This approximately 25 acre property consists of two parcels (both included in the sale) APN# 4465-005-023, 4465-005-024.
