Leave it to David and Victoria Beckham to seek out one of the most stunning properties in all of Southern California for their summer home. With David’s contract with the LA Galaxy expiring in November and the family expected to head back to the UK afterwards, they’ve decided to go all out in the home stretch and splurge on the luxury Malibu mansion known as the Birdview Residence.
Listed on the market for a staggering $27 million and rented to the Beckhams for a reported $60,000 per month, the 10,000 square foot Birdview Residence was designed by renowned architect Doug Burdge, in collaboration with interior designer Tim Clarke. Set on a lavish and picturesque tropical garden estate, the leading-edge home boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, marble walls, as well as floor-to-ceiling glass walls for stunning ocean, whale, sunset, and yes, bird views. The home features what has been described as a “cavernous living room” with stellar views of the coastline and its glorious palm trees, as well as a high-tech kitchen with multitasking, multifunctional stainless steel appliances. The design of the interior, handled by Clarke, offers ultra-modern furnishings with open entertaining areas and a gorgeous fireplace as a focal point. The home also features a 50’ pool, a gym and a vast private patio for entertaining, as the Beckhams are well known for doing. Birdview Residence is an example of an architectural project where no expense has been spared; it is prime real estate that is designed to offer those with the means an opportunity for their dreams to come true. Additionally, the property was built under strict green building standards, ensuring sustainability and peace of mind for its residents.
The Beckhams are well known for their love of stunning properties; prior to moving to the United States, they lived in a 24-acre estate in the U.K., dubbed “Beckingham Palace.” David has even been known to crash at pal George Clooney’s luxury Italian mansion overlooking Lake Como – at one point, it was reported that he was considering buying it. With such dedication to enjoying the world’s most prime real estate, there’s little doubt the Beckhams have made a wise choice with the Birdview Residence.
