From the Agent: “An architectural treasure and an icon of Malibu design with 122 feet of beachfront, Sandcastle was the hand-built home of visionary architect (and surfer) Harry Gesner. Offered for sale for the first time, this tranquil Western Malibu oceanfront property is, according to Gesner, ‘a dream place, built with love.’ The home’s texture was determined in part by the materials he salvaged as an early evangelist of sustainable construction: telephone poles, reclaimed bricks, wall panels made from aqueduct pipes, old-growth redwood harvested in the 1800s, and windows and doors saved from one of Hollywood’s silent film theaters. As Gesner said about Sandcastle in Houses of the Sundown Sea: The Architectural Vision of Harry Gesner, ‘The spirit in the design and materials are what you immediately feel in this house. All people who enter and spend a brief period or long time here immediately feel at home and relaxed. The experience never becomes commonplace or boring because over everything is the sound and rhythm of the waves breaking on the shore in front of the house.’”

Sandcastle, located at 3604 Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, is currently listed for $22,500,000 by Chris Cortazzo and Zen Gesner of Compass.
