Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the coastal community of Sunset Mesa, this 8,860 sq ft lot offers sweeping Pacific Ocean, and Santa Monica Mountain vistas from its naturally elevated position. The property formerly contained a two-story residence of roughly 2,564 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, and 3 baths (built 1965) before being lost to fire; all improvements are now damaged or removed. Residents of Sunset Mesa enjoy access to the highly regarded Malibu & Santa Monica Unified School District. Underground utilities, extra-wide streets, and view-preserving CC&Rs create an open coastal streetscape, while Pacific Coast Highway is just moments away, placing Will Rogers State Beach and the Getty Villa practically at your doorstep. Upscale shopping and dining at Malibu Country Mart and Palisades Village are equally convenient.
