Description Where the Pool Ends: Malibu

Floor-to-ceiling glass walls run the length of this Malibu hillside house, framing unobstructed Pacific views from the living room, the balcony, and the infinity-edge pool that seems to spill straight into the ocean below. The scale is serious – nearly two acres of grounds, multi-level terraces built for alfresco entertaining, a detached guest house, and a main bedroon with its own viewing terrace and marble bathroom. When you do leave, Zuma Beach is a thirteen-minute drive and the dramatic sea caves of El Matador State Beach are fourteen minutes by car.

Home truths:
* While some of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* The accommodation here is set across the main house and a separate one-bedroom guest house, which is fully detached and has its own kitchenette.
* Two of the bedrooms feature twin beds which can be pushed together to form a double on request.
* There’s free parking for up to twenty cars on the driveway.
