From the late 1800’s to 1938 Malibu was the exclusive property of one Wealthy family that of Frederick & May Rindge. The Massachusetts Millionaires who founded Union Oil and Southern California Edison owned the entire 27-mile-long Malibu coastline. They kept the rest of the world at bay with chained gates and with armed guards patrolling on horseback though the hills. The widowed May Rindge encountered money problems, and was forced to invite a few wealthy celebrities in to build vacation homes on her private Malibu beach. Of course the stars were allowed to rent the land, but not to own it. In the late 1930's, Mrs. Rindge finally decided to allow Malibu residents to buy their properties. Like Mrs. Rindge, Hollywood celebrities prize their privacy, and the Malibu Colony offers not only protection from the prying stares of the curious public, but also a beautiful ocean view and a sandy beach as a front yard. The community is gated with multi-million dollar homes on small lots. The colony commands breath-taking views of the Pacific Ocean, Thus affording a spectacular coastline view stretching from Santa Monica To Rancho Palos Verdes to the south and bluffs of Point Dume to the north.
