About this home

A Point Dume legacy estate of rare provenance and architectural significance, once home to legendary host Johnny Carson, this extraordinary compound spans over four pristine acres across four parcels, commanding panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Queen's Necklace, and Paradise Cove. Designed by renowned architect Edward R. Niles, the residence is a sculptural interplay of glass, wood, and geometry, a modernist composition that rises dramatically above the bluffs. At its heart lies an awe-inspiring arboretum pavilion, where a soaring 30-foot glass ceiling latticed with wood slats floods the interiors with natural light. Anchored by a striking copper and glass sunken fireplace encircled by built-in seating, this space seamlessly transitions to bluff-top terraces, a koi pond, and cascading water features. The main level flows effortlessly between dramatic entertaining areas and intimate retreats: a triangular dining room with ocean and pool vistas, a black marble and wood bar lounge, a chef's kitchen with butler's pantry, and a glass-walled office that appears to float among the trees. On the lower level, an ocean-view lounge with wet bar opens to expansive terraces, complemented by a screening room and an impressive wine cellar. Occupying the entire upper floor, the primary suite is a sanctuary of luxury, with dual spa-inspired bathrooms, expansive walk-in closets, two private offices, and a fireplace-adorned bedroom opening to a private terrace with whitewater views.The grounds are an oasis of curated gardens, sweeping lawns, and specimen trees. A saltwater pool with grotto waterfall, Jacuzzi, sauna, and cold plunge invite relaxation, while al fresco dining terraces capture the drama of Malibu sunsets. Additional estate features include a circular glass security office with kitchenette and bath, a staff cottage, and motor facilities with three-car garage, Tesla chargers, and capacity for up to 40 vehicles. Across a separate parcel lies a championship tennis complex, framed by manicured rose gardens and sculpture installations. The travertine tennis pavilion offers two guest suites, a full kitchen, fireplace lounge, spa-style locker rooms with sauna, and expansive courtside terraces. Additional guest accommodations include a private guesthouse, greenhouse, fruit orchard, and aviary.A true Malibu icon, 6962 Wildlife Road embodies the convergence of architectural artistry, land, and legacy, creating an estate of unrivaled beauty, privacy, and prestige.
