A river runs through it—literally. Welcome to 23040 Blue Bird Drive, a one-of-a-kind retreat in one of Calabasas’ most beloved and historic neighborhoods: the Bird Streets. This custom-built spec home is not only one of the newest and largest in the community, but it's also hitting the market for the very first time, offered by its original owners who have lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated the property over time.

Set on a generous corner lot—larger than most in the Bird Streets—and wrapped on three sides by Belgard pavers and custom hardscaping, the home offers two separate backyard zones, stunning neighbor separation, and a rare feeling of expansiveness. Mature coastal oaks and a gorgeous Japanese maple create an organic canopy over the grounds, and a seasonal creek running through the backyard adds a truly magical, storybook quality to the setting.

With its 10-foot ceilings downstairs, open floor plan, and walls of windows framing treetop views, the home evokes the feeling of a modern treehouse—quietly tucked away yet just minutes from everything Calabasas has to offer. Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck or crossing the private bridge to your personal backyard "island," every inch of this property is designed to invite intentional living and restorative calm.

Inside, the layout is both elegant and functional. A formal dining room sits off the airy entryway, while a formal living room with walk-in closet and adjacent full bath offers easy conversion to a fourth bedroom or flexible guest space. The expansive family room centers around a gas fireplace and opens directly to the rear deck—ideal for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining.

The adjacent kitchen is light-filled and welcoming, with a granite island and prep sink, charming bay window, casual dining area, and a butler’s pantry with second sink—perfect for everyday function or holiday hosting.

Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a private retreat, with a peaceful balcony, two walk-in closets, a large attached sitting room with its own fireplace, and an expansive ensuite bath featuring travertine floors, soaking tub, separate vanities, and large picture windows that invite the outdoors in. Two additional bedrooms are spacious and en-suite, while a custom loft on the upper landing offers flexible space for a home office, study zone, or relaxing hideaway.

The outdoor space is as thoughtful as it is serene. Recent updates include freshly stained decks, new window treatments in the primary suite, interior paint touch-ups, and refreshed finishes throughout. The fully fenced backyard includes a sparkling pool with elevated spa, manicured lawns, Zen-style seating areas, and abundant landscaping—all designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings.

Perfectly situated in a warm, established community and offered at an incredibly competitive price, this is your chance to own a rare slice of Calabasas history—a home where scale, privacy, character, and nature converge. If you’ve been searching for a place that’s truly set apart yet deeply connected to the lifestyle you love, 23040 Blue Bird Drive is ready to welcome you home.
