For the first time in over 87 years, the long-standing historic home of the famed Decker family in Malibu Hills, considered the first family to settle the area and after which Decker Canyon was named, has been listed for $1,600,000 by Tamara Campbell and Andrea Jacobs, Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialists affiliated with the Westlake Village Regional office of Coldwell Banker Realty. In 1862, the Decker family settled in the area of Decker Canyon. The property was first purchased by the Decker family in 1936 and remained with the Decker family for over 87 years. Located at 3648 Decker Canyon Rd. in Malibu, Calif., the single-story residence has two bedrooms and one bathroom on approximately 7.8 acres.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Malibu history,” said Campbell. “Harkening back to a simpler time with cool ocean breezes, the home’s harmonious tranquility and breathtaking views are a rare combination inviting one to experience the epitome of coastal California living.”
Sitting atop a vantage point in the picturesque hills of Malibu, the property boasts sweeping vistas of the sparkling Pacific Ocean and the surrounding majestic mountains. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and large windows bring the outdoors in with an abundance of natural light and serene nature. Old-world charm abounds in the living room with its original knotty pine paneling, a stone fireplace with rocks gathered from the hills and Douglas fir wood flooring. The kitchen has been refreshed with white cabinets including upper glass display cabinets, granite countertops, a farmhouse sink and breakfast bar. Sliding doors open onto a large redwood deck with views of the ocean, the formal dining room has built-in shelving and cabinets. There is a separate studio that can be used as an office, exercise or meditation room. In addition, there is a detached one-car garage and refurbished travel trailer from the late 1950s. Chicken pens would complement the completely covered wired garden with raised beds and drip irrigation and a glass greenhouse. The equestrian property also has corrals for horses with hay storage.
“Only minutes from world-class Malibu beaches and close to Santa Monica, the property offers an outdoor lifestyle,” said Jacobs. “There are riding and hiking trails throughout the property that lead to Charmlee Wilderness Park within the Santa Monica Mountains, and the nearby Nicolas Creek State Park has a beautiful lake and meadows, which also includes riding and hiking trails.”
