How to rent the $17.5M Malibu mansion designed by Skrillex

Skrillex’s Dream Home in Malibu, California, is Now Yours to Rent.

Electronic music has always been about experience. The energy of a room, the connection between sound and movement, the feeling of being fully immersed in something bigger than yourself. For Skrillex, that sense of immersion didn’t stop at the stage. It extended into architecture.

On a one-acre oceanfront bluff in Malibu, the producer’s former residence, now known as Ellice Mansion, offers a rare opportunity to live inside that creative vision.

The 12,000-square-foot contemporary estate was designed with Skrillex’s personal input and reflects a modern, minimalist approach to luxury living. A gated private driveway leads to a dramatic double-height glass entry, opening into a sweeping great room framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and Pacific Ocean views. Sliding doors run throughout the home, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow and turning nearly every space into a viewing deck for Malibu sunsets.

Inside, the property features six bedrooms and ten bathrooms, along with a private movie theater, gym, spa, game room, and a separate guest apartment. The gourmet kitchen is paired with a secondary chef’s kitchen, making it ideal for hosting intimate dinners or full-scale gatherings. Outside, an infinity-edge pool overlooks the coastline, accompanied by an outdoor kitchen, cabana, and lounge areas designed for fireside drinks or catching a California sunset.

The primary suite feels like its own retreat, complete with soaring 18-foot ceilings, a fireplace, private patio, plunge pool, and spa-style bathroom.

Originally listed at $24 million, Skrillex sold the property for $17.5 million in 2021. Today, Ellice Mansion operates as a luxury rental, with bookings starting around $7,550 per night and a three-night minimum stay, plus taxes and fees. Events are also permitted, making it a potential popular destination for brand activations, creative retreats, and high-end private gatherings.

But this isn’t just about renting a mansion. It’s about stepping into a larger trend within dance culture where global artists are expanding beyond music into lifestyle, design, and experiential spaces. Ellice Mansion represents how today’s producers are transforming success into environments that reflect their creative identity.
