Straight answers

The three that decide this property.

These three are the ones that move the number, so they are spelled out in full rather than left to a line in a folder.

  • Lot size

    Resolved in principle, not yet measured. A current preliminary title report dated 9-2-2026 describes the land as a portion of Parcel 36 — so the 1.21-acre figure on the recorded Record of Survey describes the larger parent parcel, not this approximately 0.59-acre lot. The two figures were never describing the same thing. A licensed boundary survey is required to plot the exact area from the title report’s legal description; buyers should verify lot size.

  • Construction status

    Plan review was approved in August 2022 and multiple permits have been issued. The completed work on site is the retaining-wall and driveway package — fully documented and inspected, and that record is in the room above. Vertical construction of the residence has not commenced on the record available. The full permit schedule and inspection status is being confirmed directly with City of Malibu Building Safety rather than taken from the owner’s file.

  • Water service

    Available on request.
