20520 Pinnacle Way, Malibu, CA 90265

Property Description

Perched high above the Pacific Ocean on a rare promontory, 20520 Pinnacle Way is one of the most extraordinary parcels in Malibu. Spanning approximately 2.75 acres, the property is surrounded by graceful hillside that naturally preserves privacy and permanently protects the breathtaking 180-degree ocean views, stretching from Point Dume to San Pedro, with the Channel Islands suspended on the horizon. Remarkably insulated from the noise of Pacific Coast Highway, the only sounds from this secluded bluff are waves breaking gently along the shore below and birds chirping in the trees, creating a rare sense of serenity. The property is located at the end of a peaceful terminal street shared by just two other homes, but with easy access to Pacific Coast Highway, 10 minutes to Malibu Pier and the Country Mart, and 15 minutes to Santa Monica. The site was previously home to a notable architectural residence designed by celebrated Malibu architect Doug Rucker, whose work is admired for its modernist clarity and deep connection to landscape. Its 2,212 square feet present the opportunity to rebuild and expand through Malibu's Fast Track Rebuild Program, allowing for a total potential of approximately 3,433 livable square feet, including an 1,000 square foot ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit). This exquisite land now calls for its next chapter: a trophy-caliber architectural estate, poised to attract global attention and redefine modern coastal living for the next generation.
