Welcome to Villa Molori, a legacy estate along the famed Palisades Beach Road in Santa Monica. Once graced by legends like Charlie Chaplin and Howard Hughes, this exclusive enclave known as the original "Billionaire's Beach"is now home to tech moguls, film executives, and captains of industry seeking the ultimate coastal retreat. Crafted by Molori Design, this world-class resort-style estate exemplifies coastal luxury. With multiple access points and proximity to first responders, experience unmatched serenity with 24-hour private security and a fully staffed fire station just yards away. From the lushly landscaped grounds and private infinity-edge pool with hot tub and cold plunge, to the open-air stainless steel kitchen by Kalamazoo and dual alfresco lounge areas, every inch of the exterior was designed for both celebration and serenity. Tropical gardens and soaring palms form a green cocoon of privacy while offering unobstructed ocean views that stretch to the horizon.Inside, soaring ceilings and wide-plank chevron oak floors lead you through a gallery of European-inspired luxury. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open to create united indoor and outdoor spaces, blurring boundaries between architecture and nature. A grand formal living room is framed by Ebony Macassar and Thassos stone, opening to an expansive deck ideal for sunset entertaining. A statement fireplace anchors an outdoor dining area set beneath the stars, wrapped in tall bamboo for ultimate seclusion. The chef's kitchen, inspired by the famed El Bulli restaurant and designed in collaboration with culinary innovator Juan Carlos Ramos, features bespoke cabinetry and Wolf & Sub-Zero appliances. An elegant dining room seats up to 25 guests, flanked by French doors and ocean breezes. Upstairs, the showstopping primary suite is a sanctuary of light, warmth, and view. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and a sculptural wood fan crown a space anchored by a sleek fireplace and floor-to-ceiling doors that open to a private balcony. Enjoy watching your best films with a full screen projector and surround speakers. Herringbone floors echo the craftsmanship throughout, while a spa-worthy bath with copper double slipper tub and steam shower completes the retreat. A second primary suite mirrors the luxury, with retractable glass walls and a private terrace with rooftop jacuzzi. Every bedroom feels like a five-star hotel suite, featuring built-in coffee stations, private bars, and luxurious en-suite baths. A state-of-the-art home theater, gym, yoga/pilates studio. The villa also features a modern minimalist steam room with a unique heavy metallic porthole window. The massage room features a Murphy bed and can be turned into a 6th bedroom. A Geothermal radiant serves for the floor & pool heating speaks to the no-expense-spared ethos. Technology meets tranquility with full Control4 home automation, sound-engineered windows and doors, a private garage and generous guest parking. Surrounded by neighbors such as George Rosenthal or David Bonderman, this stretch has long attracted A-listers and visionaries. The home was untouched and not evacuated during recent wildfires testament to its prime location and enduring security. A once-in-a-generation offering on the most sought-after shorelines ready for your permanent home.
