Behind gates, at the top of a scenic Malibu road, sits a piece of land with real history — once part of the Baller family cattle ranch, still zoned for livestock and crops today. A rare thing in this market: agricultural land with an oceanfront view.

The single-level ranch house wears its age well. Plank-vaulted wood ceilings. Rich wood floors. Built-ins, a stone fireplace, the kind of warmth that comes from decades, not design trends. Double doors off the dining room open to a screened porch — and from there, 180 degrees of ocean. The Queen's Necklace to Catalina. North toward Santa Barbara. Morning coffee here is not a metaphor.

The land keeps giving: a 2022 three-stall Castlebrook barn, fresh fencing and grading, flat pads ready for a pool or a sport court. Two standalone bungalows — guest quarters, income units, a studio, whatever's needed. A chicken coop. Vegetable beds. Fruit trees heavy with age. And above it all, 100-year-old stone pines standing watch over grounds that feel less like a listing and more like a mountain sanctuary that happens to have paperwork.
Rare, and rooted.
