We all have days when we want to crawl under a rock and make the world go away. With as busy a schedule as Dick Clark had, he had every reason to sometimes feel the same way. Unlike we who only think it, Dick actually did it!

There’s no better way to retreat from the hussle and bussle than to ensconce yourself on the flat top of your own 23 acres of tall hill that reaches for the sky. Especially when it has a 360 degree view of the Pacific, the Boney Mountains, Serrano Valley and the lights of Malibu. It also helps to have a small one bedroom two bath house so it’s easy to say, "Oh, we’d love to have you stay, but we just don’t have the room!" Guaranteed privacy? You bet! Hey, . . if you want to be surrounded by relatives, business associates and screaming other people’s children, buy a mansion down in town.

Dick didn’t start out with the idea of building a "cave" house, but an objection was filed against allowing him to build a house on the land by the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreational Area. Architect Phillip Jon Brown came up with the idea to make the home look like a rock formation. That made everyone happy and construction ensued.

As an artist’s lair, a writer’s inspiration, or a harried businessman’s restorative retreat, this charming and fanciful home is ideal. All this and still close to the beach.

The good news? It has just been reduced from $3,500,000 to $3,250,000.
