The estate of the late, great Dick Clark has just price-chopped his beloved Malibu hideaway by $250,000, bringing the price down from $3.25 million to $2,995,000.
After two years on the Malibu housing market, this Flintstone-esque home atop a bluff got a price cut for the second time, as first reported by Curbed. It came down $250,000 in the summer of 2013, and without a buyer in sight, the price has been reduced by a quarter million dollars once again.
One of Malibu’s landmark properties, Clark’s stone home features unparalleled 360 degree views of the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, Boney Mountains, Serrano Valley, Los Angeles sunsets and sparkling city lights.
This unusually imaginative architectural creation is nestled atop a mountain on eye-popping 22.89 acres and features 1 bedroom and 2 bathrooms, as well as breathtaking ocean and mountain views. Truly exceptional and one-of-a-kind from within and without – the architecture of this home seamlessly marries form and function.
The interior space is extremely voluminous and features an expanse of glass to capture the views from every room of this home. Vaulted ceilings enhance the living room and dining room with its wood burning fireplace intimate seating areas. The master suite is at spacious and intimate. According to the listing agent, “this is art as architecture at it’s finest.”
Clark’s Malibu retreat offers seclusion, privacy and serenity, but it still just minutes from the beach. Before his death at age 82 in April 2012, Dick and his wife Kari used this home as a weekend getaway.

the kitchen is really odd
W-I-L-M-A !!!!!!!!
Nice view.
Cartoonish architecture.
the kitchen is really odd
Yeah, I kind of like the organic, rock-like walls, but they went a bit overboard with the kitchen cabinets. But, if one has $3M, 22 acres overlooking the ocean in Malibu ain’t bad.
How does it get 360 degree views of the Pacific. Is it on an island?
They need to do a 180 on their description
I always preferred Mary Anne, Bailey Quarters & Betty vs Ginger, Jennifer & Wilma.
Math is hard.
ONE bedroom? Is that a deal-breaker? But I imagine the property is worth it just for the 22+ acres of land.
I've been, in my mine and on paper, designing a similar house for decades. Only my idea is not nearly so cartoonish, but rather inspired by my love for geology and science.
My place would be more like a modern science museum, with realistic rock formations for walls. It would have several interior water features including a small waterfall, pond, and narrow winding stream with arched walkover bridge. Large plate glass windows with incredible views of genuine (matching) rock formations and other interesting natural scenery.
I would fill it with embedded displays of natural exhibits, such as cool rock specimens, minerals and fossils, and also live animal displays (fish, reptiles, etc). There would be large openings in the ceilings of the synthetic rock interior with great views of the sky for both daytime and nighttime sky observing.
