"Every day when I wake up and look out my bedroom window, I’m never not amazed," marvels Cher, staring out one of a myriad of arched windows that define her house, a villa that sits high on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. "Every room has two views of the ocean, each of which is so beautiful—the water is always glistening, the sunset always happening. There’s no place else that I would rather be."

Cher commissioned designer and longtime friend Ron Wilson to decorate an Italian Renaissance-style residence in Malibu. "I’m comfortable here," says the singer-actress. "This house wraps its arms around me." "Cher was totally involved with the landscape design, which is unbelievable," says Wilson. "She’s very gifted."
