Rustic, historic, and scenic open spaces

Decker Canyon, now also known as Highway 23, is a historic, rugged enclave that captures the spirit of classic Malibu living. Originally settled by the Decker family long before Malibu’s modern development, the canyon still reflects a sense of authenticity, wide-open spaces, and a slower pace of life.

Today, Decker Canyon blends rustic charm with modern comfort, featuring ranches, hillside residences, and contemporary estates. Decker School Road, once home to the area’s original schoolhouse, winds through hillsides dotted with homes tucked among the natural landscape. To the east, Foose Road leads into a serene valley, offering privacy, expansive views, and a direct connection to the surrounding wilderness.

With its rugged beauty and rich history, Decker Canyon appeals to equestrians, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a peaceful retreat that balances Malibu living with a timeless mountain escape.
