    Description

    RTI** Introducing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own approximately 19 acres of pristine land perched on the western flank of the Santa Monica Mountains, offering what may be the most commanding panoramic views in all of Malibu. This extraordinary estate site comes with Ready-To-Issue (RTI) permits available now so you can call your contractor, line up your backhoe, and have your grader digging footings the day escrow closes. Take a breath and decompress as you take in sweeping vistas of the Channel Islands, sweeping vistas of the Channel Islands, including Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, and San Miguel, along with Ventura and the Santa Barbara coastline. In the cooler months, watch snow dust the entire Topa Topa mountain range, stretching from Ojai to Moorpark, while sipping coffee from the comfort of your living room. To the east, the views transition from Boney Ridge in all its rugged glory to the layered peaks and valleys of the Santa Monica Mountains, ending in twinkling city lights from Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes, and Catalina Island on the horizon. World-renowned artist Charles Arnoldi designed every element of the approved 9,627-square-foot architectural residence, from the precise placement of pocket sliders and picture windows to maximize each dramatic sightline, to interior walls perfectly positioned for showcasing significant art collections. The modern estate plan also includes a sophisticated guesthouse/ADU and a striking zero-edge pool designed for serious swimmers and serene moments alike. This site is construction-ready, with a 1,000-foot deep well, two large water tanks, a concrete driveway, and underground utilities already in place. Expansive patios and sculpted landscaping are envisioned to celebrate California's iconic indoor-outdoor lifestyle, from sunrise meditations to golden-hour dinners. Located just 7 minutes from the beach and 23 minutes from Camarillo's private "Cloud 9" airport, this is Malibu living elevated to its highest expression.

      "Do not commute - I am now retired Commuting is a nightmare in the AM as it is always bumper to bumper It would make a huge improvement if they would sink the lights or open the center lane southbound and facilitate the traffic flow. If it rains you can guarantee that the storm drains haven’t been cleared as they have never been on a maintenance schedule in the past forty years I have lived here so they always backup and cause the highway to have huge flooded area resulting in some clown going to fast and causing an accident. The first rains always seem to cause the signal lights to go out too! People seem to forget that PCH is one of the year long most heavily used highways in the country. The first rains always mix with the motor oil on the road making it VERY DANGEROUS yet people forget to slow down thus more accidents than normal. Summertime brings thousands of tourists so forget trying to go in to town. If a weekend is nice weather you can guarantee it’s bumper to bumper coming into Malibu in the AM and even worse from 3 PM on going back to town. If CAL trans does any work they always set up before their allocated 8:30 AM time causing more “looky-loo” slowing !"
