Upon the sun-kissed shores of Malibu, the crashing waves set a tempo for a dazzling oceanfront estate owned by Chad Smith, percussionist extraordinaire of Red Hot Chili Peppers fame. Priced at $95,000 per month, the sprawling compound beckons those desiring sanctuary by the sea.
Constructed in 1949 amid Malibu’s exclusive enclaves, the home resonates with Mediterranean elegance. Within its walls, vaulted spaces grant airy grandeur to living areas infused with Pacific breeze. The sleek chef’s kitchen exudes modernity with marble counters and stainless appliances, while the adjacent dining hall, illuminated by a sculptural chandelier, hosts convivial gatherings.
For leisure and repose, the home orchestrates a symphony of amenities across its acreage. Guest cottages offer seclusion, while the detached gym provides vigorous rhythms. The music room stands ready for impromptu jam sessions, perhaps accompanied by the symphony of the sea. Outside, lounging areas overlook the ocean’s timeless performance, and a chef’s kitchen with pizza oven caters to alfresco dining under sun and stars.
But the estate’s crowning glory remains its view of the Pacific, with Poseidon himself conducting the ocean’s surging tempo. Within the primary suite, sliding doors unveil endless waters, affirming this estate’s status as a premier oceanfront oasis fitting for a rock icon.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ most recent studio album, Return of the Dream Canteen, was released last year.
