\n\tCalifornia<\/a>\u2019s Malibu<\/a> has become a haven for high-profile figures, with Oakley founder Jim Jannard and megawatt musicians Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z spending up to $210 million on real estate<\/a> in the coastal city in the past three years. One blufftop estate in Point Dume offers a different type of star power, though, having appeared in iconic movies<\/a> and TV shows throughout the 1990s. <\/p>\n

\n\tNamed Venezia Pacifica<\/a>, the mega-mansion is perched on over an acre of land in the Cliffside Drive cul-de-sac. Designed by architect Jonathan Stout, the pad offers roughly 17,700 square feet of airy interiors that overlook 180-degree ocean views. It also comes with a 9,500-square-foot subterranean garage and parking for 20 vehicles.<\/p>\n

\n\tKen Harges, a late real estate developer with over 70 projects to his name, reportedly<\/a> paid $1.7 million for the land in 1988, before adding a nine-bedroom house to the grounds in 1991. While living there with his family, Harges allowed the home to be used as a filming location for TV series like CSI: Miami and The O.C., as well as films such as The Brady Bunch Movie and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. It was also Jay-Z\u2019s mansion of choice for his 1998 music video for \u201cMoney Ain\u2019t a Thang,\u201d giving it extra cool points. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tNearly four decades since its inception, the estate just hit the market for the first time with an asking price of $90 million. Chris Cortazzo of Compass holds the listing<\/a>. Harges\u2019s daughters and successor trustees, Bonnie Ferguson and Wendy Geweke, are the sellers. \u201cOur parents genuinely enjoyed watching a little bit of Hollywood come to life at their home,\u201d they told the Wall Street Journal<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tBeyond its cinematic ties, the residence reflects the family\u2019s travels around Italy with classic Renaissance-style architecture, including stately columns and arches. Coffered ceilings, stone-crafted flooring, and grand fireplaces throughout further add to that grand European feel. A dramatic spiral staircase and an elevator with intricate wrought-iron details connect the two expansive floors. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe living quarters include formal living and dining rooms, a double-height ballroom with a barrel-vaulted glass ceiling, and a brick-clad chef\u2019s kitchen with dual islands, plus a wood-clad office, a home theater, and a few wet bars. The primary suite, meanwhile, comprises a plush bedroom, a walk-in with a dressing area, and a Roman-style bathroom. <\/p>\n

\n\tOutside, generous terraces overlook the Pacific while the backyard features a resort-style pool and spa, al fresco dining areas, and an oceanfront pavilion. Also included in the sale is a key to Riviera III, one of three exclusive, gated beach easements in the Point Dume neighborhood, giving residents access to an incredible stretch of coastline.<\/p>\n
