Vacant lot with approximately 50 feet of prime Malibu Road frontage, featuring a completed seawall and a rare, ready-to-build opportunity on one of Malibu's most sought-after stretches. The property comes with fully approved plans for a two-story contemporary residence with 4 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The proposed design offers an open-concept layout with expansive living spaces, walls of glass, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to maximize ocean views and beachfront living. This is a streamlined path to building a custom coastal home just steps from the sand in an exceptional location.
Malibu Road, located between Carbon Beach and Malibu Lagoon State Beach, is a coastal and residential Malibu neighborhood with a narrow beachfront lane and a low-slung, oceanfront streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Malibu Pier, where surf breaks, a working pier, and small-market energy set the tone. The Malibu Farm Restaurant and Malibu Farm Cafe act as local pillars, pairing ocean views with a casual, polished dining scene. Along the road, mid-century beach cottages mix with contemporary glass-and-wood rebuilds, many set just above the sand. Mornings track with paddleboards and joggers, while afternoons bring sun-faded patios and the sound of shorebreak. The geography stays intimate: one ribbon of homes, the Pacific on one side and the Santa Monica Mountains rising behind.
