Malibu, founded in 1991, is located west of Los Angeles and is a typical resort beach city, with the Santa Monica Mountains to the south and the 27-mile Pacific Coast Main Line to the north.

At this time, although Malibu was not fully developed, it had gradually formed an industrial chain, not only several resorts, countless restaurants and bars, but even David Geffen opened a hotel here, and people come here all year round to enjoy their vacations.

Two years ago, Hugo also came here for a holiday, but that is a long memory. When Hugo returned to the town, the wide roads were already surrounded by shady palm trees, and the presence of large supermarkets and shopping malls added to the atmosphere of life in the surrounding area.

Even though it's only May, you can already see young people surfing on the road, and under the dazzling sun, it seems as if the vapor of the waves has been blowing in your face. Unlike Los Angeles and even Santa Monica Beach, there is always a more laid-back and casual atmosphere here, and the sparse crowds make the air flow with a sense of comfort and casualness.

"Dear Mr. Casvi, please get off here." Dan Romo Romer straightened his tie and smiled as he invited Samora Casvi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, to get out of the car, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the two people sitting in the back seat, because he was always guessing if one of them was Hugo Lancaster.

Dan is a real estate agent in Los Angeles, but he has a lot of experience, and being a real estate agent often means being oppressed. He didn't take over the business at all, and when Samora Kasvi came to their company the day before yesterday to inquire about the sale of villas in Malibu, he just happened to be standing at the front desk and accepted a little inquiry. Subsequently, those gold medal agents of their company came up to grab customers, and these gold medal agents were always tongue-in-cheek, and they could easily take away the attention of customers.

But unexpectedly, in the end, at Samora's insistence, the case was not only handed over to Dan, but the gold agent also obediently handed over the company's high-end housing information to him, which made Dan shocked. Because these resources have always been held at the top of the pyramid, it is difficult for a junior newcomer like him to break through the blockade. This also makes Dan start to doubt Samora's identity.

In the past two days, Dan took Samora to see several houses in Malibu, but today Samora said that there were companions who wanted to come over to see the houses together, Dan didn't think much about it, but one of them really looked like Hugo, which made him have to think more.

However, Dan still forced himself to take his eyes back, parked the car on the side of the road, and then waited for the group of three to come over, and took the initiative to introduce, "This is the garage, according to the plan, the garage can accommodate three sports cars, if you want to expand the garage, the small courtyard on the left hand side can also be used." ”

Samora had already seen the house once, and today Hugo and Joseph came to confirm it in person.

Hugo carefully looked at the building in front of him, this villa is located next to the road, from left to right about sixty inches wide (eighteen meters), the garage is on the far right, made of stone wall material, stone stacked one by one, natural and primitive with a bit of retro rough feeling, on the right hand side is a small courtyard, the garden is scattered with some flower pots, it seems a little empty.

Behind the garage is a two-storey slate-brown wooden villa, the exterior walls are all made of brown planks of different shades, because this villa is built on a small hillside, the left side of the garage and the right side of the garden can see a small hill, so the wooden villa looks very harmonious as a whole. And the dense woods on the hills act as a natural barrier, blocking out the sight of all strangers.

It's no wonder that Samora liked the house when she saw it.

"If you have a request, this small courtyard can be redesigned, whether it is designed as a garden or a playground." Dan explained briefly, then led the way in the direction of the courtyard, leading the way in front, "Please follow me." ”

Walking through the small courtyard, a carved iron door appeared between the courtyard and the garage, Dan opened the iron door with a key, and a secluded path appeared, between the main body of the villa and the hill on the right, a staircase meandered down, the staircase was still made of stone brown planks, and on the side of the staircase near the hill there was a cobblestone ditch with clear spring water flowing slowly - according to Dan's explanation, it was an underground spring left from the hill and eventually flowed into the lower storage tank to water the meadow.

After walking down the stairs, I found that there was a different world, the original villa was only three stories high, but there was about one and a half floors built down, so standing at the height of the garage, you can only see about two floors. If you go down the stairs, you will immediately see a deep courtyard in the shape of a "concave", which is divided into two parts.

At the far end is a huge swimming pool, the turquoise water reflects the bright sun, shimmering waves, at the end of the pool is a green meadow, the grass has a tennis net on the grass, and then some at the far end is an iron railing, if you go forward, you can see a small iron fence on the right, push open a marble staircase will appear, can lead to the beach below.

"The beach below is separated by cliffs," Dan explained to Hugo and Joseph, who were standing in front of the railing, as he pointed to the hill on his right, which was gradually rising, and sure enough, there was no road leading to the beach below, and the left hand side of the beach stretched forward and eventually merged with the sea, "so it was a private beach." ”

The beach below is actually not very big, and it is estimated that it will disappear at high tide, and it is half the size of a basketball court at low tide, but it is indeed a good gimmick. Standing on the grass, the sea breeze raging in all directions frantically poured in, and when you raised your head, you could see the sea and the sky that were connected, and the endless blue of ignorance could not find the dividing line at all. In the distance, one or two white sails could be seen floating on the sea, but the surrounding tranquility became more and more peaceful.

Walking back, inside the pool is a rectangular lotus pond, a small pond surrounded by gray-brown stones, with three lotus flowers floating on it, but it looks a little decadent. I don't know if it's because of the water and soil, or because it hasn't been taken care of for a long time.

The lotus pond divides the courtyard into two parts, on the left side is the staircase that you just entered, and on the right side is a gravel path that allows a car to pass the guò, with thin cobblestones all over the floor, and then marble slabs are placed on top of the gravel to create a path that leads from the tennis court to the interior. On the right side of the road is a row of small palm trees, and below the palm trees there is a row of unknown low shrubs, and behind the palm trees is part of the "concave" shape, which is probably visible after entering the room.

Behind the lotus pond, there is an open-air gathering place, and on the left side of the cobblestone path is a low platform with wooden floors, which can accommodate at least twenty people, with a few rattan chairs and a rectangular wooden table, as well as two blue beach chairs. It's a good idea to have a barbecue or a duì here.

The courtyard leads directly to the first floor of the villa, where floor-to-ceiling windows can be pulled to protect against sea breezes and heavy rains.

The first floor is obviously the hospitality hall, and when you enter the room from the outside, there is a dark gray carpet with a complete set of dark brown sofas, and opposite the sofa is a whole stone wall, and there is a TV cabinet on the stone wall, but it is currently empty, and there is a place for the stereo on both sides, which is also empty at this time.

Behind the seating is a long row of bars, like a formal bar, and at the end of the bar is the kitchen, then the dining room. On the opposite side of the restaurant is the gym, sauna and bathroom, and the overall color palette is a combination of stone brown, off-white and light gray, simple and elegant.

Between the dining room and the gym is a wooden spiral staircase leading to the second floor, which is the housing, with a total of four rooms, all equipped with private bathrooms, and even a small living room between the four rooms, with a sofa and coffee table, where people can sit and chat before going to bed. The second floor is decorated in refreshing and natural colors such as light blue, mint green, and lemon yellow, and the materials continue the style of the entire villa: wood and stone walls, which are authentically integrated into nature.

Finally, there is the third floor, which is completely an entertainment space, the heavy use of dark blue and off-white makes the third floor feel full of the atmosphere of the sea, the huge space is divided into two parts, the interior is two rooms, obviously can be used as a study, warehouse or studio - Hugo's collection and musical instruments can be placed here, including when he writes scripts and music; Outside, a large floor-to-ceiling glass window opens onto a panoramic balcony with golf and pool tables, a hydromassage tub, a mobile bar and a small garden, as well as beach chairs.

Standing next to the small garden on the third floor, you can see the swimming pool and tennis court on the first floor beyond the palm trees below, and the sea and sky in the distance are even more spectacular, and you can faintly see the neighbor's house on the left and right. The view from the top is truly amazing.

No wonder people always say that luxury life is incomprehensible to ordinary people, because it is a completely different world, the area of this villa is so large that Hugo strongly suspects that it will take fifteen minutes to walk from the beach to the kitchen, and the size of a room on the third floor can be compared to the entire hall of their current residence, and this is the result of "simple decoration", many household appliances and details can be modified according to their own style.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg of life at Vanity Fair.
