45 Crest Road

Behind the exclusive gated community of Rolling Hills lies a property of rare distinction—an expansive private sanctuary offering over two lush acres with commanding, unobstructed 180-degree views that stretch from Malibu’s coastline to the twinkling lights of Long Beach. This is not just a home, but a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a legacy estate in one of Southern California’s most coveted communities. The single-level residence, designed in the mid-century modern tradition, carries a timeless character with details that celebrate an era of artistry and elegance. A circular dining room, sunken living room with a built-in custom mohair sofa and baby grand piano, original terrazzo floors, warm wood paneling, and metallic wallpaper evoke the glamor of the 1960s—inviting a discerning buyer to reimagine and restore while preserving its history. With seven bedrooms—including five ensuite baths—the home offers extraordinary flexibility for family, guests, or multigenerational living. Nearly every room frames panoramic vistas, blending indoors and outdoors in seamless harmony. Additional features include two large living spaces, a dedicated dining room, a kitchen with breakfast nook, and an attached ADU complete with bedroom, bath, kitchenette, and its own living and dining areas. The grounds are equally inspiring. A serene front garden with a tranquil fountain welcomes you, while the backyard reveals endless potential. The existing pool is perfectly sited to capture the sweeping city and ocean views, offering the chance to transform it into a stunning centerpiece for outdoor living and entertaining. A horse corral and abundant usable land provide room for expansion, equestrian pursuits, tennis or pickle ball courts or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of the acreage. Mature fruit trees—avocados, persimmons, and sweet orange and grapefruits—enrich the property with a sense of retreat and abundance. The driveway is thoughtfully set back from the main road, offering an added layer of privacy and protection from sound, while the sought-after Crest Road gate ensures effortless access in and out of the community—an uncommon convenience in Rolling Hills. Opportunities of this scale, location, and character in Los Angeles County are exceedingly rare. More than a home, this estate represents a legacy—a canvas for creating a truly spectacular residence to be cherished for generations.
