Ultra-Luxury Trophy Collection

From A. Quincy Jones mid-century masterworks in Trousdale and Richard Landry’s Italian villa in Pacific Palisades to Malibu’s only 2026 on-sand new construction, Emerald Bay oceanfront, Bel Air cinematic compounds, and a glass forest retreat in Hillsborough — twenty of California’s most extraordinary active estates.

California’s ultra-luxury tier represents the world’s most architecturally significant residential real estate. The properties in this collection are not simply expensive — they are singular achievements in design, craft, and location that command their prices because of genuinely irreplaceable qualities: a legendary architect’s final residential commission; one of only three premier promontory lots in Trousdale; 133 feet of ocean frontage on 1.42 acres in Malibu; a guard-gated oceanfront parcel at the end of a cul-de-sac in Emerald Bay with unobstructed Catalina and surfline views.

Curated by Shweta Khajanchi at Coldwell Banker Platinum Properties, these 20 highest-priced active listings span Beverly Hills, Trousdale Estates, Bel Air, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Santa Barbara, Orange County, Rancho Santa Fe, and the Bay Area.
