Set behind gates on approximately 4.5 private acres, Mintcello is a distinctive Malibu retreat conceived by Apel Design Studio, where Mediterrenean influence and coastal California living come together in a truly serene setting. A long, 650- foot private drive lined with mature pepper trees and solar lights leads to the residence, where sweeping views of the Pacific and surrounding hills create a dramatic sense of arrival. Ideally positioned, the property offers seclusion while remaining just minutes from Point Dume, local beaches, and convenient access to the 101 Freeway.Throughout the home, custom craftsmanship and artistic approach define the interiors, with carefully selected natural materials, decorative stonework, sculptural details, and hand-finished elements creating warmth and character. Outdoor spaces are designed for both quiet enjoyment and entertaining, with expansive terraces, garden areas, and multiple vantage points to take in the surrounding landscape and ocean views.The grounds also offer several additional usable areas with potential for future expansion, including space for a pool, guest accommodations, studio, gardens, orchards, or other outdoor amenities. Private, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed, Mintcello presents a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind Malibu property that feels both secluded and connected to its natural surroundings.
