The genesis of the home’s energy and flow emanates from the double triangle shaped living room. Sunbursts of light pierce through the 30-foot high glass ceiling and wooden fretwork above and is diffused by the indoor arboretum, illuminating the original stone floors below. A uniquely sunken copper and glass fireplace anchors the living room and flows effortlessly into the swanky upper lounge and black marble and Asian themed bar.

The exquisite light filled formal dining room creates an elegant environment for refined entertaining while the chef’s kitchen, complete with top of the line appliances, satisfies the most discerning epicurean taste. Dine al fresco on the stone bluff terrace with views of Paradise Cove and the Queens Necklace or listen to the waterfall cascade into the Koi pond adjacent to the turquoise saltwater pool and sun deck. The lower entertainment venue includes an outdoor lounge, a wood-paneled media room and bar, fine wine cellar and casual indoor/outdoor dining room.

A luxurious master suite encompasses the entire second floor and exudes elegance and luxury. His bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, with deep wooded tones and onyx surfaces, connect to a private office that provides a masculine retreat. Her luxurious bathroom suite, highlighted by an expanse of stone, artisan tile, Jacuzzi soaking tub, detailed walk-in closet, ocean front terrace and separate glass-enclosed office, creates the ultimate in pampered lifestyle.

Directly across from the main residence on Whitesands Place, you find two gorgeous acres of exquisitely manicured rose gardens and grounds including a championship tennis court and viewing area. There are two separate guest suites, and a kitchen, gym, locker room and sauna are located within the tennis pavilion. A tastefully appointed guest house provides guests a restful stay in a tranquil setting. Other amenities include: private security office, staff cottage with kitchen and shower, elevator, house manager’s office, impressive laundry room, three car garage, motor court and gated staff parking lot. In addition, both properties are equipped with backup power sources.

This iconic Malibu estate of exceptional provenance offers a rare combination of land, location, beauty, and architecture, providing a lifestyle only few will have the opportunity to enjoy.

Designed by reknowned architect Ed Niles on about four acres of perfectly kept grounds, the home is built on the bluffs of Malibu with perfect vantage points of views in all directions. Across from the home’s lush main grounds, is a waterfall, koi pond, and saltwater pool—complete with a guest house, two bedroom pavilion, kitchen, gym, locker room, and full tennis court.

The current owners of the home are Sidney and Caroline Kimmel, and when they bought the home in 2007, two years after Carson had passed away, they honored to preserve the design and intent that the home originally had with Johnny living in it. The duo also works in the industry, as producers that have worked on top-tier films like The Kite Runner and Lars and the Real Girl.

The estate will be represented by Chris Cortazzo of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury and Linda May of Hilton and Hyland. The residence is a short drive into Los Angeles, but feels perfectly serene and free from the bustle of the city’s traffic and honking horns. Looking out into the ocean from this property evokes the relaxing feel of nature all around. Johnny loved being in American’s homes every night, and now one lucky resident is going to get to return the favor.
