Only in Malibu: the $2-million mobile home
Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700
Bluff-side Paradise Cove and Point Dume Club take manufactured-home living to new heights. If you want to live among gas-guzzling, tax-evading, hippie-gypsies running from the law, then Malibu's mobile-home parks are not the places to look (as the Who might otherwise suggest in its hit song "Going Mobile"). Here you will find no country-trekking trailers, but double-wides and manufactured homes placed permanently atop sweeping ocean-side bluffs. In fact, the term "mobile-home park" is rather misleading in this mansion- and estate-packed section of the globe.

For a century it was our largest house, more than double the size of Monticello and Mount Vernon combined.
