About this property
An exceptional opportunity in Malibu's coveted Big Rock Mesa to build a custom, luxury home, a refined expression of California Modernism on a private interior bluff over 1/3 acre. Rare ready to issue plans allow construction to begin immediately, bypassing years of permitting. The serene property captures unobstructed, 180-degree panoramic ocean views stretching from Palos Verdes and the Queen's Necklace to Catalina and Point Dume. Masterfully designed by Neda Winter, AIA, the architecture maximizes natural light and vistas through clean lines and expansive walls of glass. Elegant, sun-drenched interiors feature 12-foot wood-paneled ceilings and walls and fine stone accents. Together, the single-level main residence and detached guesthouse with nearly 2,800 sq ft of sophisticated living space with expansive decking. The main home features 3 en-suite bedrooms, an office, a powder room, terraced gardens, water features, and a private motor court with a garage. The detached 1-bed, 1-bath guesthouse with a wrap-around deck serves as a private ocean-view retreat. Tucked away with potential for a gated entrance and an ocean-view pool/spa, the property combines architectural distinction and ultimate privacy, minutes from Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, and central Malibu. For an unparalleled opportunity, the adjacent off-street parcel is available separately with RTI plans, offering the rare potential to create an expansive, two-residence coastal compound ideal for generational living.
