The home of one of Malibu’s founding families, this historic Moorish-Spanish Colonial Revival-style house is famous for its lavish use of hand-painted ceramic tiles that were produced here in Malibu in the 1920s. The property is surrounded by an ornate brick fence, giving the property a castle-like appearance. Visitors can stroll the gardens on their own or take a tour.
