Welcome to "The Contour House, " an exceptional development opportunity with CDP approval for a ~5,000 SF residence comprised of a main house, a detached workshop, and a barn, set on a nearly 2-acre ocean-view parcel in the Malibu hills. The most challenging hurdle in Malibu development is behind you: with Coastal Development Permit approval secured, the project moves toward finalizing clearances for a ready-to-issue building permit, allowing you to build a singular modern compound with panoramic ocean and mountain views. The approved barn opens the door to a true Malibu lifestyle, with room for horses and animals on site. The flexible workshop can be reimagined as a home office, recording or podcast studio, wellness retreat, golf simulator, or creative studio. With nearly 2 acres, there's ample room to add a pickleball court, horse riding ring, gardens, and other custom outdoor programming. Thoughtfully designed to follow the natural contours of the land, the plans blend indoor-outdoor living with sweeping Pacific vistas, dramatic ridgeline scenery, and total privacy. Perfectly positioned in the Santa Monica Mountains, 570 Schueren Road offers serene canyon seclusion just minutes from the coast. Topanga Canyon and its iconic village are moments away, while world-class Malibu beaches, surf, and dining sit a short drive down the hill. Enjoy immediate access to premier hiking and mountain biking on the Backbone Trail, Saddle Peak, and Malibu Creek State Park. A rare chance to create a legacy estate in the heart of Malibu's mountains.
