While Napa and Sonoma leap to mind when the grape-growing regions of California are mentioned, don’t sleep on Malibu. The hills above the coveted beach community are where you’ll find the Rosenthal Estate, where developer George Rosenthal cultivated grapes for his Rosenthal Wine label.

Now Rosenthal is ready to let his beloved estate go for the asking price of $38 million.

Rosenthal toyed with selling the luxe property in 2012 and listed it for $59.5 million. Nearly a decade later, he’s now in his mid-80s and more serious about selling the vast estate he’s been carefully piecing together since he paid $1,076,000 for a considerably smaller plot of land in 2000. His domain now spans 180 acres.

Ever since Rosenthal developed the property into a vineyard estate, visitors have made their way up winding Kanan Dume road to tour the facility.

A total of 10,000 grapevines flourish on the property, including cabernet, shiraz, chardonnay, and merlot grapes. There’s room to add another 10,000 vines.

And grapes aren’t the estate’s only agricultural offering. There are also 600 avocado trees bearing fruit.

In addition to being a working agricultural property, the Rosenthal estate is a luxury resort. Residences include a spacious hacienda-style mansion and three guest cottages. With two pools, these amenities offer an ideal weekend getaway for Los Angelenos.

The estate includes just about everything a buyer would need to become a turn-key winemaker.

However, there’s one thing not included in the sale price: the Rosenthal label. New owners can use the grapes produced on the property in their own wine, or sell them to other vinters.

“Although a universe all its own immersed in miles of nature, this prized location is just five minutes from Malibu’s beautiful beaches and 20 miles from Santa Monica. It offers possibilities and ample space for creative endeavors and a lifestyle of intimate dinners, poolside afternoons, and laughter-filled social gatherings,” says co-listing agent Joyce Rey, of Coldwell Banker.

Rey is listing the property along with Jade Mills, also of Coldwell Banker, as well as Sandro Dazzan of The Agency Malibu.
