Just as the name implies, the secluded Serra Retreat neighbourhood in Malibu is a true escape from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. However, this exclusive, guard-gated enclave is conveniently nestled in the scenic, rolling hills of lower Malibu Canyon. Located near the grounds of a Catholic retreat of the same name, the beautiful area was once planned as the home of the affluent Rindge family. Today, Serra Retreat offers magnificent homes in an absolutely breathtaking setting.
Serra Retreat real estate is accessed by one of two guarded gates. Winding roads, lined with mature trees, lead to beautifully designed estate homes. The approximately 100 residences in the community sit on comparably large lots, with some boasting over four acres of space. Many of these distinctive estates feature private guest homes, outdoor entertainment areas, custom pools and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean.
Residents of Serra Retreat pay a monthly HOA fee of around $300 per month. This fee covers security and general maintenance of the grounds. While the community does feel away from it all, it is actually located within walking distance to Downtown Malibu and the beaches. Residents enjoy meandering down to the Malibu Pier, Malibu Surfrider Beach, Malibu Country Mart, the Adamson House Museum and nearby restaurants, including Nobu. For commuters, the Pacific Coast Highway is less than a half-mile away. Serra Retreat truly offers a sense of peacefulness in an absolutely prime Malibu location.
