There is not much
that cannot be said better with photos.
This will be a ‘mostly photo’ story.
Dick Clark, was
known as American’s Oldest Teenager, but when it came to his determination to
have a home built on his property that sits adjacent to the
SantaMonica Mountains National Recreational Area, he was far from a teenager.
The park conservancy objected – at first –
then Clark hired architect,
Phillip Jon Brown.
Brown came up with the idea that if the house looked like a rock formation,
there could be a happy ending here.
And
so it was.
This
one-of-a-kind residence in
Malibu is a single story structure, sitting on 22
acres, with a boulder appearance on the exterior and the rocky interior of the
home of
Fred and Wilma Flintstone from the classic 60’s cartoon.
The real world version has one bedroom, two
bathrooms, a fireplace, and several large glass windows offering views of
Serrano Valley, the Boney Mountains, the Channel Islands, the Pacific Ocean,
and sunsets and city lights.
Although the area
is small, the interior feels open and spacious.
Can you say Yabba Dabba Doo?
AND THEN THERE ARE THE VIEWS
A HIDDEN BEAUTY, IN THE LIGHT OF DAY OR THE DARKEST NIGHT
