Chris Cortazzo of Compass has closed the sale of 26814 Malibu Cove Colony Drive in Malibu for $11,272,000. The home closed in September 2026.

The residence sits on the sand inside Malibu Cove Colony, one of Malibu's prestigious guard-gated beach enclaves, and it has been masterfully reimagined for relaxed coastal living. A stone-tiled courtyard with built-in seating and lush landscaping leads through French doors into interiors finished in rich European oak, with the ocean in view from the moment you enter.

The heart of the home is an open living area with soaring ceilings, gallery-style Lutron lighting and floor-to-ceiling glass sliders that bring the breeze and the horizon indoors. The living room is centered on a contemporary fireplace and converts into a private cinema, with a hidden projector, a drop-down screen and surround sound. It flows into the oceanfront dining area and out to a full-length terrace under a cantilevered canopy, with several zones for lounging and dining against the Pacific.

The chef's kitchen is anchored by a stone-topped island with ocean views, a six-burner range and a walk-in pantry with additional Sub-Zero refrigeration. Upstairs, beneath a glass-vaulted ceiling, the primary suite has panoramic ocean views, a private beachfront terrace and a resort-style bath with a freestanding soaking tub, a rainfall shower and a large custom walk-in closet. The five-bedroom home also includes a bunk room with a reading nook, guest suites with skylights and renovated baths, and a lower-level bonus room for a gym, office or studio.

For Cortazzo, long one of Malibu's leading names on the beach, it is another signature oceanfront close in the Colony.
