Barton Choy
5782 Calpine Dr, Malibu, CA
$3,499,000

Out of the ashes, a sanctuary emerged elegant, intentional, and unshakably strong. This home is more than a residence, its a triumph of resilience, a rebirth born from loss, and a bold architectural statement grounded in safety, serenity, and soul that was built to endure and designed to inspire. After the 2018 Woolsey Fire swept through Malibu, the land where 5782 Calpine now stands was reduced to bare earth. The owners were undeterred and viewed their land like a blank canvas filled with possibility and purpose. The owners were determined to build back better and rebuilt not just a house, but a new model for what home can mean in a wildfire-prone world. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom modernist retreat surrounded with equestrian trails was built with precision-engineering, fire-resistant materials and elevated with an on-site generator and was built to protect and inspire. With its soaring ceilings and steel beams, glass-framed living areas, and sweeping ocean, mountain and canyon views, 5782 Calpine is a celebration of light, space and nature. Yet beneath its minimalist beauty lies a deeply considered sanctuary, crafted to stand strong without compromising warmth or style. Strategic landscaping enhances both fire safety and aesthetics, while the thoughtful floor plan blends indoor-outdoor living from sunrise to sunset each hour of the day fills the home with natural light and serenity. Your Malibu Way of life begins here, in a sanctuary perched on 1.2 acres in the serene Malibu Park equestrian neighborhood just moments from beaches and top-rated schools. This home is more than an address, its an invitation to begin again with intention. Resilient. Refined. Ready. 5782 Calpine is a beacon of whats possible when strength meets vision.
