LOCALLA

Near the top of Saddle Peak Mountain, along a private gated road in the heart of Malibu, sits 2.5 acres of something increasingly rare: a blank canvas with a fully realized vision already approved and ready to build.373 Moonrise Drive is a shovel-ready lot with permitted plans by acclaimed local Malibu architect Luis Tena AIA (luis tena Design) for a 3,242 square foot modern residence that feels inevitable on this land. Tena's context-driven design responds to the site's natural beauty with clean lines, warm materials, and walls of glass that capture 180-degree views of the ocean, mountains, and coastline stretching as far as the eye can see.The approved plans include a 3,242 square foot of main residence with 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms. Also there is a plan for a future detached 700 square foot recreation room with its own bath and kitchenette which could be executed after the house is completed, along with an infinity pool that appears to spill directly into the Pacific horizon. The kind of home where the canyon falls away below you and the nearest neighbor feels like another world entirely.The hard work is done. The vision is set. The permits are in hand. All that remains is the build.Fifteen minutes to the Pacific Coast Highway. Twenty minutes to Nobu and Soho House. Twenty-five minutes to Cross Creek. And when you return, private, elevated, and completely your own. Renderings are intended to express the design concept only.
