$21 Million Reserve Price Set for Iconic Vineyard

MALIBU, Calif., Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Paramount Realty USA, in collaboration with Compass listing agents John McNicholas and Chris Cortazzo, is proud to announce the luxury sealed bid auction of Malibu Rocky Oaks, a landmark vineyard estate set atop a private ridgeline 2,000 feet above sea level in Malibu wine country. The rocky volcanic soil and elevation make the property uniquely positioned as one of Malibu's premier wine properties. Spanning nearly 38 acres, this is one of the largest and most iconic properties currently available in all of Malibu. Rather than linger on the luxury market at an aspirational asking price, the owners have turned to the gavel to deliver speed and certainty. It is a bold strategy that is well-aligned with the owners, who have been known for defining and decisive moves.

Previously listed as high as $49.5 million, the extraordinary property is now being offered for sale by private auction starting at the reserve price of just $21 million.

Events & Celebrity/Media Presence
Malibu Rocky Oaks' cinematic views and Tuscan architecture have made it a sought-after destination for high-end short-term rentals, magazine shoots, and elite gatherings. The property has served as a backdrop for major television and film productions because of its location above the coastal clouds.

Ownership Notability
Owned by a Malibu legacy family of three generations, the estate was developed with a vision to combine winemaking, architectural artistry, and hospitality. Their stewardship since 2003 has elevated the estate into one of Southern California's most recognizable lifestyle destinations, earning accolades in both vineyard and luxury circles. The property was selected by the owners because of its privacy and security in a beautiful natural setting with sprawling grounds.

Auction
"Malibu Rocky Oaks is not just a home, it's a landmark," said Misha Haghani, CEO and Founder of Paramount Realty USA. "The scale, the elevation, the vineyard, the architecture—each piece is rare on its own, but together they create one of Malibu's most exceptional real estate opportunities."

"This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a trophy property, and a property so significant it has achieved landmark status," said listing agents John McNicholas and Chris Cortazzo of Compass. "We are thrilled to bring this property to market by auction with Paramount. The combination of vineyard living, architectural excellence, and breathtaking views at this scale is incredibly rare. This is a one-of-a-kind property in which modern approvals for an estate of this scale and location would be next to impossible."

Bidding is open now through Thursday, October 30 at 4:00 PM PT. Private tours are available by appointment only. For additional information, visit here.
