Barbra Streisand’s $100M Malibu Estate With a Mall | House Tour 2025

Barbara Stryand didn't just build homes. She built entire worlds. From a full-blown art deco guest house to her own shopping mall in the basement, Babs has done it all and then some. Today, we're taking a look inside Barbara Tryen's real life dream estate in Malibu, the homes she's owned across New York and LA, and the insane amount of detail she's put into every inch. Let's get into it. Before all the awards, Barbara Tisen grew up in Brooklyn. Born in 1942, she lived in a small apartment with her mom and brother, cheering one room and barely scraping by. Barbara didn't grow up in luxury. She grew up in a walk up, a railroad flat, and even spent a while couch surfing after moving to Manhattan. One of her first places in NYC had the bathtub in the kitchen. That didn't stop her from decorating it like a star. She used empty picture frames to decorate the walls because she couldn't afford real art. By 19, she was starring in Broadway's I Can Get It For You Wholesale and sharing a tiny apartment above a seafood restaurant with Elliot Gold. It even had a raft that they named Oscar. As soon as she started making serious money, Babs moved into a duplex at the Arsley on Central Park West, formerly owned by lyricist Laurens Hart. That place was a fullon Louis the 15th vibes. We got satin mo bronze statues. She went all in on the glam. Later, she dropped 420K on a fivestory NYC townhouse back in 1970. But by the time she got it, she was already transitioning to the West Coast. When Barbara moved to LA, she started renting Greta Garbo's old house on Carolwood Drive in Home Hills, then ended up buying it. This spot was next level. A two-story living room, a full library, a pool, seven baths, and major old Hollywood energy. She designed the space around an art nuvo lamp and filled it with antiques. In 1997, she sold this home for $4.8 million. Guys, I have an important announcement about this channel. There is someone trying to take this channel, Famous Entertainment, Down, and have everything that I've worked so hard on deleted. Click the link in the top comment, and I'll explain everything at the end of this video. So, please stay tuned. Let's talk about what's arguably Barbara's Tisen's greatest masterpiece. not a film or an album, but her custombuilt Malibu compound. This place wasn't just a mansion. It was basically a private village. Sitting on 22 acres of prime Malibu real estate, Barbara's property included not one, not two, but five separate home. The main house, grandma's house, barn, peach house, and her art deco house. She started building this massive setup in the 70s after buying the land with then boyfriend John Peters. It took decades of designing, redesigning, and refining every single detail. And if there was one thing that we've learned from Barbara, it's that when she wants it done right, she does it herself. The main house is where she would spend most of her time, and it was full of craftsman style woodwork, vintage finds, and cozy earth tone. But what really makes this whole estate feel like something out of a movie is the fact that every building has its own theme and purpose. One of the standout structures was the barn. And yeah, it's a real barn. It's painted classic red with black and white trim. She even had chickens that laid green eggs because of course she did. There's also a koi pond outside the barn with custom color matched black and white fish to go with the house's aesthetic. That's the level of detail that we're talking about. But the real showstopper is what's underneath the barn. Barbara's private shopping mall. And no, you're not hearing things. She literally built a mini mall in her basement. Each store in this underground village is designed in the style of the art nuvo era and full with her massive collection of vintage clothes, furniture, antique, and one-of-a-kind decor. There's even a Louis X 15th inspired boutique that holds the black lace cape she wore in Funny Girl and other wild custom pieces that most people would have just put in storage. But Barbara, she turned it into a museum under her own house. She also added a rose garden that she uses to disconnect and recharge. She said she literally goes out there just to smell the roses. And when you've got ocean views, koi ponds, and custom roses, why wouldn't you? Now, eventually, Barbara decided it was time to simplify. Well, sort of. She sold the Carolwood estate, donated a Malibu ranch to the state, and set her sights on building one house, her forever home on the ocean. This dreamhouse sits on a cliff in Malibu and took years to fully build. It's actually made up of four buildings, all designed with nature, privacy, and calm. Here we have the main house, the mill house, grandma's house, and the barn again, which was rebuilt and re-imagined for her new life. This time around, she was all about the detail. The interiors are totally custom, and everything was picked by Barbara herself, from the beams in the ceiling to the exact shade of lavender used in the lavender bedroom. And that lavender bedroom, that's where she sets up her mic and records music. No fancy sound booth, just a mic stand, her voice, and a giant window with a view of the Pacific Ocean. She literally recorded duets with Tony Bennett and Barry Gibb right there in what looks like a cozy guest room. She said that she could have built a professional recording studio in the barn, but she didn't want to. Why? Because she doesn't need fancy tech when the vibe is right. The family room in this house sticks to Barbara's design rule. One or two colors only per room. It's all soft textures, monochrome tones, and zero distraction. She says it helps her hear the conversation better. And honestly, when your house is that gorgeous, you definitely don't want loud prints yelling over the vibe. Even the streams and the water features around the house were designed by her. That's right. She added water to surround the property because she finds it calming. The result, a peaceful, highly customized compound with ocean views, roses, and personal touches in every single room. This wasn't just about showing off wealth. It was about creating a space that reflected her story, her style, and the legacy that she wanted to leave behind. That wraps up our Barbara Stryson house tour.
