This $90 Million Malibu Mansion Has 180-Degree Ocean Views, A Ballroom And Space For 20 Cars

A rare Malibu mega-mansion has hit the market for the first time, offering 180-degree Pacific Ocean views, grand European-inspired interiors and the kind of scale rarely found on the California coastline.

Known as Venezia Pacifica, the Point Dume estate is listed for $90 million and sits on more than an acre within the exclusive Cliffside Drive cul-de-sac. Designed by Malibu-based architect Jonathan Stout, the residence spans approximately 17,700 square feet, with nine bedrooms, expansive entertaining spaces and a 9,500-square-foot subterranean garage with room for up to 20 cars.

Built in the early 1990s by the late real estate developer Ken Harges, the property was conceived as a grand coastal residence inspired by the family’s travels through Italy. The result is a dramatic, Renaissance-style estate defined by stately columns, arched walkways, coffered ceilings, stone floors and grand fireplaces.

Inside, the home is designed for both private family living and large-scale entertaining. The principal spaces include formal living and dining rooms, a richly appointed wood-clad office, a home theatre and multiple wet bars. At the heart of the residence is a double-height ballroom, where archways span both sides of the room and a barrel-vaulted glass ceiling floods the space with natural light.

The chef’s kitchen continues the grand proportions, with brick detailing, dual islands and generous room for hosting. Elsewhere, a dramatic spiral staircase and an ornate wrought-iron elevator connect the home’s two expansive levels.

The primary suite has been designed as a private retreat, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, a walk-in wardrobe with dressing area and a Roman-inspired bathroom. Across the home, large windows and terraces frame uninterrupted views of the Pacific, making the ocean a constant presence throughout the estate.

Outside, Venezia Pacifica leans fully into its blufftop Malibu setting. Expansive terraces look out across the coastline, while the grounds include a resort-style swimming pool and spa, al fresco dining areas and an oceanfront pavilion created for entertaining against the Pacific backdrop.

Adding to the estate’s appeal, the sale includes a key to Riviera III, one of Point Dume’s exclusive gated beach easements, giving residents access to one of Malibu’s most desirable stretches of coastline.

The property is being sold by Harges’s daughters and successor trustees, Bonnie Ferguson and Wendy Geweke, with Chris Cortazzo of Compass holding the listing.

While Venezia Pacifica has also served as a backdrop for several film, television and music productions over the years, its real draw lies in its scale, privacy and rare Point Dume location. In a market known for record-breaking coastal trophy homes, this $90 million estate stands out as a grand expression of Malibu living.
