Cornell is a unique, picturesque neighborhood of homes along the scenic Mulholland Highway Corridor, and in the rural mountain area near Malibou Lake. It is largely surrounded by open space parks within the NPS Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, including Paramount Ranch and Peter Strauss Ranch parks. In addition to the local historic restaurant and winery, The Old Place/Cornell Winery, this area is notable for its 'tall trees' atmosphere among old-growth oak and pine, and for the many peacocks that roam the neighborhoods, and perch on residents' rooftops and balconies. With direct access via Kanan Road to Malibu, this area is a short drive to Point Dume and other Malibu beaches.
