Chef and cookbook author Geraldine Gilliland officially gave her new owner the keys to her Malibu hillside house more than a year after listing it for $18,000. Public documents show that Drederick Irving, the father of Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, paid $10.7 million for the property, which is around $7.4 million less than the initial asking price. Irving is a former collegiate and professional basketball player.

Once Gilliland, the proprietor of Santa Monica’s Lula Cocina Mexicana restaurant, purchased the 40-acre property, known as “Rancho Chiquita,” it was utilized for weddings and parties, as well as for filming “The Voice” and a non-profit dog rescue. Since then, Gilliland has added more land to her holdings. Today, the gated compound comprises of a detached home and a main house built in the hacienda style, both set on a 225-acre plot with views of the mountains and ocean.

The main home, with its terracotta roof and stucco exterior, is about 6,700 square feet and has two stories of living space with wood beam ceilings, parquet and Saltillo tile floors, arched entrances, and clerestory windows all around. The main level features a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, an eat-in island with built-in wine storage, high-end stainless appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a breakfast alcove. There is also a formal dining room with its own fireplace and a living room with a fireplace.

All of the bedrooms are secluded in two separate wings of the house, one featuring an ocean-view master retreat with a custom fireplace, private patio, spacious cedar-lined walk-in closet, separate fireside sitting room, loft space, and luxe bath that opens to a terrace with a spa, and the other holding two main-level bedrooms with access to an outdoor palapa and a lower-level staff/guest suite with two bedrooms, an office, living room, and kitchen.

Outdoors, the palatial grounds feature a pool and spa with an infinity edge, a kitchen and bar, and numerous areas ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining, including a grassy area that can accommodate up to 250 guests. In addition to a three-car garage and parking for at least 20 vehicles, additional features include a distinct gated service entrance leading to a large motor court and an event staging area.
