About this property
EXCEPTIONAL VALUE! Skip years of uncertainty with APPROVED PLANS from LA County Regional Planning for a remarkable 4.5-acre architectural estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean, with the opportunity to make the vision your own. This Palisades Fire Rebuild includes stamped plans for a thoughtfully designed 4,100 SF residence featuring a two-story 3,500 SF main residence and detached 600 SF guest house (ADU), capturing panoramic ocean views spanning the Queen's Necklace, Catalina Island, and the Malibu Pier from every room. Pull into the planned two-car garage, where the first thing you'll see is the ocean framed by a dramatic wall of glass. From there, an elevator descends to the main residence, where floor-to-ceiling glass sliding windows, a soaring spiral staircase, and a central atrium create a home that embraces its breathtaking setting. The residence features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an open chef's kitchen with a separate butler's kitchen, while the detached guest house offers a studio with its own kitchen and full bath. A living roof planted with curated low-maintenance succulents further enhances the home's seamless connection to its natural surroundings. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, the property features 2,200 SF of deck space, an infinity pool, expansive yard, and a 2,900 SF carport providing ample guest parking. Reports include a passing septic inspection on the LA County System Evaluation Form. An additional APN (4451-022-033) is available for purchase at $300,000, providing La Costa Beach rights and private gate access through Rambla Pacifico. A rare opportunity to bypass years of planning and entitlement work and bring this extraordinary Malibu estate to life.
