2315 Live Oak Meadows Road in Malibu presents a striking architectural vision, a collaboration between light, steel, and glass. Designed by Finn Kappe, the son of celebrated modernist Ray Kappe, this residence epitomizes Southern California modernism, strategically set among the eastern Malibu oaks.
The property spans a fully fenced acre and features a unique arrangement of glass-covered volumes designed to integrate canyon views and the varying light of each day into the living experience. Access begins with an oversized pivot door, leading into a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home that encompasses 2,002 square feet of thoughtfully designed space.
At the heart of the home is a sculptural Arclinea kitchen, complete with custom Gaggenau appliances and a striking marble island that anchors the design. The concrete flooring incorporates radiant heating, creating a warm atmosphere. Functional elements such as integrated lighting, immersive audio-visual systems, and dual-zone HVAC contribute to the home’s modern convenience. A meticulous renovation completed in 2018 preserved the architectural vision while enhancing the property with commercial-grade glazing, a new roof, modernized electrical and plumbing, as well as custom slab work in the bathrooms.
The living space seamlessly integrates both interior and exterior landscapes, inviting interaction with the surrounding nature. The maturely landscaped grounds and natural canyon topography create a serene ambiance, providing a canvas for further enhancements. Prospective owners might consider adding a pool or converting the existing carport into a garage or guest house, tailoring the estate to their individual desires.
Conveniently located just six minutes from Las Flores Canyon’s coastline, this home is moments away from Malibu’s iconic beaches and renowned dining establishments such as Nobu Malibu and Soho House Malibu.
