Malibu, if anything, is a unique place to live. From Hollywood titans to surfers, to families wanting a nature-filled community, this coastal city offers unique Malibu homes for every type of dweller.
Here, we list 5 Malibu homes that are anything but typical, and have features that both stun and delight.
Grand Malibu Estate Living
It’s not every day you see a Malibu home that’s so incredibly massive and beautiful at the same time.

The so-named La Villa Contenta is a truly breathtaking sight to behold. The 10 bedroom and 14 bathroom home is not currently on the market. Nevertheless, it is such a magnificent home, we had to include it our list of truly unique Malibu homes.
