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.
