A Love Letter to Calibu: David Tutera Interview Series Part 2

In Part 2 of our exclusive interview with renowned designer and TV personality David Tutera, we shift the spotlight from the walls of the home to the land that surrounds it—the serene, inspiring beauty of Calabasas, and more specifically, the Mulholland Corridor.

 

"Living here in Calabasas gives us options for how we feel. It makes me feel calmer. I think it's like we're painting something every day—not literally painting, but emotionally. When you fall in love with a person, or a home, or the outdoors... sometimes people don’t realize they’re missing the moment. We paint with our love, our emotion, and our heart."

David’s poetic reflection is more than just a soundbite—it’s a summary of what it’s like to live in Country Ridge Estates, a private, gated enclave nestled just off the legendary Stokes Canyon. This is the kind of place that feels like a deep exhale after a long day.

As you drive home through the canyon, past horses grazing in sun-dappled pastures and into the quiet serenity of this exclusive neighborhood, you experience something rare: a complete decompression. The road itself—winding, green, historic—is one of the most beautiful drives in Southern California. And the payoff? Pulling into your private estate tucked just minutes from it all.

This part of Calabasas sits in a unique microclimate. Thanks to its proximity to Malibu, it enjoys cool ocean breezes, stunning sunsets, and a Mediterranean feel—while still being minutes from the hustle and vibrance of city life. It’s no wonder locals affectionately call it Calibu.

Add in award-winning schools, luxury shopping and dining just around the corner, and quick access to the beach via Malibu Canyon, and this location becomes more than desirable—it becomes rare.
