Your Mama Hears...

...that high end real estate agents all up and down Sunset Boulevard, from Los Feliz in the east to Malee-boo at the west, are whispering and chattering that ousted Disney CEO Michael Eisner might be looking to unload his vast ocean front compound on the Encinal Bluffs in Malee-boo.
Beginning in the mid 1990s, Eisner bought up five contiguous ocean front lots and built a tremendous Mediterranean style compound that includes at least five buildings that are covered in 4-inch thick limestone. Among the buildings is a main house, a guest house, and a large "cabana" on the beach at the base of the steep bluff.

Your Mama knows precious little about this compound, but we did recently read that Eisner somehow managed to get approval from the ridiculously powerful California Coastal Commission to install an elevator that carries the uber pampered Eisner family and their lucky guests two stories down into the bluff where they are unloaded on the same level as the beach cabana.

Your Mama can not imagine the wrangling it took to get the necessary approvals for that elevator, but we certainly appreciate that it's there, because Your Mama would surely have a coronary hiking up that bluff after a day of frying our skin and dipping our toes in the cool waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Once source in Malee-boo tells not to be surprised by an asking price well in excess of $75,000,000. Yikes! We'll keep you posted when we get more information, and of course if any of you children in Malee-boo know anything, you should let Your Mama know.

Such an amazing property but so far out ... Broad Beach is far to me & this is a good bit further along the coast than Broad Beach ... $75m probably sounds about right - if it was closer to town it would be so much more expensive.

but there isn't any beach. What's the fun of living in Malibu if you can't call the paps to take pics of you in the sand?

theres a beach, not directly behind the house, right next to the property, the owner can use it because it's considered public property

All beaches in California are public property!
