Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Michael Balzary, known by his stage name Flea, has placed his estate in Malibu, California, on the market for 7.995 million US dollars. The musician acquired the property in 2020 for 7.55 million US dollars. Located within the prestigious, 24-hour guarded Malibu Colony community, the property combines contemporary architecture with privacy close to well-known stretches of coastline.
Living concept with warm timber tones and seamless transitions
The main residence encompasses around 3,180 square feet of living space across four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Inside, warm wooden surfaces define the atmosphere. The kitchen is fitted with expansive timber cabinetry and a central island crafted from solid end-grain wood, illuminated by several pendant lights. Generous divided-pane glass doors open the space to the verdant garden, providing abundant natural daylight.
The adjoining living area centres around a brick fireplace beneath exposed ceiling beams, accompanied by space for instruments and pianos. Wide sliding doors lead into the dining room, which receives light from two sides through timber-framed windows. Exposed trusses, a circular chandelier and a built-in corner banquette lend this space a structured, artisanal touch.
Grounds, wellness area and guest house
The outdoor area connects directly to the living spaces and features a chequerboard-patterned terrace. Along with an outdoor kitchen sheltered by trees and a koi pond, the grounds include a separate dining area with a circular fire pit. Beyond this, nestled within dense planting, lies a private wellness area equipped with a cedar hot tub, a cold plunge pool and a dry sauna.
