Legendary music producer Rick Rubin, current owner of The Band’s even more legendary Shangri-La studio and the perennial owner of the golden ears behind many a hit record, has hefted this Malibu residence onto the rental market at $75K per month.

The promontory location of this home is a dramatic one; the house, barrel sauna and broad carpet of lawn occupy a particularly dramatic section of Point Dume bluff overlooking the ocean. The house is a midcentury modern ranch that went up in 1965.

Interior living spaces in the home are Spartan and entirely uncluttered; the dominant concession to overt comfort is also socially facilitative: a pair of simple, pine-frame sofas occupying the margins of the living area. Beyond a painted brick fireplace accent wall is the kitchen, a monastic space populated by long pub tables and a bit of high-end appliance flash.

Beyond the glass, a covered outdoor deck overlooks the lawn and water. An outdoor shower, a studio with garage doors, and an ofuro-style spa are among the additional features of this monastic and peculiarly Californian luxury home for the hardworking creative.

Rubin’s production credits are too extensive to list, even when narrowed down to superstar acts. He appeared on Time’s list of “100 Most Influential People in the World” in 2007.
