Ready to build with Ready-to-Issue (RTI) permits in hand, this extraordinary nearly two-acre estate parcel presents a rare opportunity to create a world-class Malibu retreat in the prestigious enclave of Rambla Pacifico. Set behind its own gated private road, just minutes from Pacific Coast Highway via the newly improved Rambla Pacifico Road, the property captures breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the iconic Queen's Necklace from nearly every vantage point. Approved plans for a 4,572 SF estate have been thoughtfully designed to embrace the property's spectacular setting and effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The residence will feature expansive living spaces, a rooftop deck, resort-style pool and spa, built-in barbecue, attached guest unit with separate entrance, and an ideal floor plan for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. The approved plans include a 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom main residence, along with an attached guest unit featuring a separate entrance and an additional full bathroom. Adding to its exceptional appeal, ownership includes coveted rights to the exclusive La Costa Beach Club, providing private beach access and one of Malibu's most sought-after coastal lifestyles. Combining RTI permits, an irreplaceable view corridor, premier privacy, and an unparalleled location, this is a rare opportunity for a developer or end-user to build a legacy estate in one of Malibu's most desirable communities. An exceptional offering ready to bring a remarkable vision to life.
La Costa Beach, located between Carbon Beach and Malibu Pier, is a coastal and residential Malibu neighborhood with a narrow sandy shoreline and bluff-top views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Pacific Coast Highway at Carbon Beach Terrace, where surf breaks, beach stairs, and low-key cafés set a sun-and-salt rhythm. Architectural lines lean modern—glass-forward beach houses, gated compounds, and mid-century holdouts tucked behind palms. Mornings track the tide; afternoons follow PCH toward galleries and small markets. Malibu Pier and its oceanfront dining define the local ritual calendar. The Getty Villa adds a museum-grade counterpoint to the beach-first geography.
