W
ith its 16,614 square feet of
living spaces, six bedrooms
and 10 bathrooms, 11870 Ellice
is the largest single family home built
in Malibu. Situated 10 minutes from
Trancas Canyon and Zuma Beach, as
well as 15 minutes from the private
Camarillo Airport, it boasts an ideal
location. "Neighborhoods like this,
looking at our beautiful coastline, are
so desirable no matter who the person
may be," says agent Rayni Williams.
"The water and the ocean plus the
nature bring a quality of life and a
calmness that is priceless."
Thanks to the construction in concrete
utilizing floor-to-ceiling frameless
glass from Germany and the exterior
in travertine, composite wood and
carved stone, the house was built to last
500 years and survive a magnitude 12
earthquake, fires and flooding.
"My favorite feature is the center
courtyard with water features and koi
pond," says Williams. "It combines
nature and an exotic 'out of this
world' feeling that is visible from the
moment that you walk in and all the
way up to the bedroom levels when
you are looking down. It's a piece of
architecture and art that truly makes the
home stand out from any other."
Influenced by ancient civilizations and
with the objective of creating a sanctuary,
the property was planned to incorporate
feng shui. Its name, Kaizen, means "the
pursuit of perfection" in Japanese.
Several features were custom made, such
as hand-carved stone and wood walls,
the aquarium and the Dolby Atmos
home theater, among others. A 95-foot
tiled infinity pool with panoramic views
of the Pacific and two spacious four-
car garages with electric car charging
complement the compound.
"One of the most unique things
about this home is its dedication
and commitment to the style," says
Williams. "Oftentimes you'll see a
very bland palette or developers
and builders trying to appeal to the
masses but this builder, Kris Halliday,
who is from Canada, came here and
took a huge risk and a major stance
on incredible architecture. I have so
much respect for that. Having built
multiple homes with my husband for
development, we have taken the same
stance several times over and it often
takes longer to find the buyer because it
will not appeal to everybody; but once
you find the person that truly gets it and
embodies the style and architecture, it
is so worth the wait."
In Pursuit of Perfection
In Malibu, this Bali-inspired mansion that follows feng shui
design practices was built to last.
