2 acre lot only 1.3 miles from PCH. Property is located off of Encinal Canyon Road in West Malibu. Panoramic ocean , whitewater and Island views! This is a downhill lot with potential access issues off of Encinal Canyon Road. Lot touches Encinal but does not have frontage for a driveway - buyer would need to get an 10 to 20 foot easement from adjacent lot owner to gain access to meet 20 foot Fire Department driveway width requirements for a residential home. If lot had good access , the value would be over $500,000 for this lot due to the amazing ocean view, proximity to the beach and multimillion dollar neighboring homes . Please see attached photos with detailed aerial and directional maps of property.
As the MLS and public records start to fill up, we'll list the details here.
