A sprawling Malibu estate, recognized for its appearances in popular culture, has been listed for sale at $90 million. The property, known as Venezia Pacifica, is situated in the exclusive Point Dume neighborhood and offers 176 feet of ocean frontage.
The mansion spans approximately 17,700 square feet on over 1.16 acres and was designed by architect Jonathan Stout. It was originally built in the early 1990s by the late real estate developer Ken Harges, who drew inspiration from his wife's Italian heritage to create a Renaissance-inspired architectural style. The estate features elegant archways, columns, stone flooring, and grand fireplaces.
Key features of the interior include a two-story ballroom with a barrel-vaulted glass ceiling and a wrought-iron elevator. The home also contains a formal dining room, library, a chef's kitchen with dual islands, a home cinema, several wet bars, and a wood-paneled office.
A notable amenity is the 9,500-square-foot underground garage with space for 20 cars. Outdoor amenities include a resort-style swimming pool, spa, and private access to a beach. The property also includes an oceanfront pavilion and landscaped grounds.
The estate has served as a filming location for numerous productions, including "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me," "The O.C.," "CSI: Miami," and "Last Action Hero." Jay-Z also filmed his 1998 music video for "Money Ain't a Thang" at the mansion.
According to the listing agent, the Malibu luxury housing market remains strong, with significant interest in high-end properties. The median sale price in the Point Dume area has seen a substantial increase compared to the previous year.
