4301 Escondido Drive, Malibu, California 90265

Woolsey fire burnout home rebuilding with building approvals for ground up construction.

Currently under construction and planned for completion in 2027, this custom new build is envisioned as a private Malibu retreat—one that balances architectural clarity, comfort, and a deep connection to its natural surroundings.

Located in the desirable Latigo Canyon area of Malibu, 4301 Escondido Drive is a thoughtfully designed residence set within an established neighborhood of architecturally distinct homes—offering a rare balance of privacy, community, and natural beauty. Unlike many canyon properties, the home is sited on a gently elevated flat view lot of approximately two-thirds of an acre, providing ease of living while capturing sweeping mountain, canyon, and ocean views.

The setting is defined by mature oak trees and a nearby seasonal stream within an ESHA area, preserving the natural character of the land. Hiking trails are close at hand, and wildlife—including deer that have been seen grazing on the property—adds to the quiet, immersive canyon experience. A large flat yard enhances livability and privacy, creating an outdoor environment rarely found in Malibu canyon homes.

The residence itself is a beautifully designed two-story contemporary home oriented toward its views, with main living spaces opening to the surrounding landscape. Soaring ceilings and an open, light-filled floor plan create a sense of volume and connection, while seamless indoor–outdoor flow allows everyday living to extend naturally to patios and outdoor gathering areas.
The primary suite enjoys expansive views and a private patio, offering a peaceful retreat within the home. The thoughtfully planned layout places two bedrooms and two baths upstairs, with an additional bedroom and one-and-a-half baths on the main level—providing flexibility for guests, family, or work-from-home living.
Designed by Los Angeles–based architectural designer Karl Tso, principal of Tso & Associates and Tso Construction, the home reflects a refined contemporary sensibility shaped by extensive experience in high-end residential and award-winning modernist projects throughout Southern California.
