Overview

This waterfront building lot in Las Flores has phases 1 and 2 already completed, supporting development planning for a new structure. The property is described as a deep lot, and the prior home configuration included an ocean-front apartment, multiple levels, and expansive deck space. The prior improvements also included a large four-car carport, and the home size was previously described as 2,440 square feet with three bedrooms and four bathrooms.

The site is located at 20840 Pacific Coast Hwy in Malibu, California (Los Angeles County). The listing indicates the property is legally zoned to support either a duplex or a single-family home, with an allowance noted as a 10% increase per the City of Malibu.

For buyers considering residential construction, the zoning flexibility and existing phase work make this lot suitable for a two-unit duplex plan or a single-family layout. The listing also notes that the prior home’s design featured four levels and was described as the tallest home on the beach, with decks extending beyond neighboring properties and views referenced as coastline, city lights, and Catalina. If you’re evaluating a new build in Las Flores, this parcel’s ready-to-progress groundwork and duplex-or-SF authorization are central considerations.
