Biography & Early Wealth Journey

Official marketing materials for the property tout its "mid-century modern aesthetic throughout emphasizing open space and natural light." The listing goes on:

"Tucked into a hidden cove in Western Malibu, the home commands majestic views of the ocean waves, distant islands and surrounding landscape. The residence has two distinct parts. Three enormous oceanfront vaulted public rooms and a stunning beachfront primary suite with hot tub and sauna, plus a five-bedroom upper level that stretches the width of the property to offer ocean views from nearly every room."

The visual concept of crashing waves isn't limited to the Wave House's exterior: "Perhaps the most distinctive design theme is a series of overlapping circles. Three wraparound decks echo the shape of the incoming surf," says the listing. Clearly, this 6,200-square-foot home is a palace for surfing aficionados, and hopefully the property's next owner will share that passion with its departed designer.

Gesner's son Zen, who happens to be a listing agent, is also selling an adjoining property, the Sandcastle, also designed by his notable architect father. He tells WSJ he's hoping that someone might buy them both up together.
