Malibu’s Coveted Guard-Gated “Serra Retreat”

The Neighborhood – Serra Retreat Serra Retreat is one of Malibu’s most prized 24-hour guard-gated neighborhoods—a gorgeous and peaceful seaside sanctuary known for its natural beauty, privacy, and rare walkability to both the beach and the center of town. Tucked just above the Malibu Pier and Cross Creek, residents enjoy effortless and rare easy access to Surfrider Beach, Soho House, Malibu Farm, Whole Foods, upcoming Malibu Ranch or the equestrian riding rings of Sycamore Farms — without ever needing a car, although some residents enjoy the convenience of a golf cart or kid friendly bike ride into town. The neighborhood is also home to the iconic Serra Retreat Monastery, offering 26 acres of gardens and peaceful ocean-view trails, adding to the spiritual charm and timeless appeal of this special enclave. Positioned near the front of the canyon on one of Serra Road’s more elevated sites, this home benefits from abundant natural light, with views of the ocean and Santa Monica Mountains—attributes not always found throughout the neighborhood. While Serra Retreat is home to some of Malibu’s most notable estates and legendary Hollywood residents, this offering provides a refined and luxurious living experience at a compelling price point within a community that supports home values well into the $20M–$30M+ range.
