Description

Perched along the serene Marinette Road, this exceptional vacant lot presents a rare opportunity to craft a bespoke hillside retreat in one of the most serene and scenic pockets of the Palisades. Elevated to capture sweeping views of the ocean, mountains, and glittering city lights, the property offers a captivating backdrop for refined coastal living. Tucked away along a quiet, street, Marinette spans just two blocks before gently reaching its end, creating an atmosphere of seclusion rarely found. Accessed solely via Paskenta Road, this peaceful setting ensures no through traffic. With only one neighboring residence to the north before the street concludes, the lot enjoys an extraordinary level of privacy and tranquility. From the deck of the previous residence, breathtaking panoramic views stretched across Santa Monica Bay, extending to the iconic "Queen's Necklace" shimmering at night, and reaching as far as Palos Verdes. These remarkable sightlines underscore the property's unique vantage point and enduring appeal. Positioned north of Oracle and east of Chautauqua, the location balances quiet seclusion with convenient proximity to the area's most cherished destinations. Just moments away lies the trailhead of Rivas Canyon State Park, offering access to lush hiking paths and natural beauty that enrich daily living. Set on a generously sized, predominantly flat lot of just over one-third of an acre, an increasingly rare find for a hillside property, this parcel offers exceptional design flexibility and ease of development. This land presents the opportunity to reimagine and expand, with the potential to create a property substantially larger than the original, a custom estate tailored to modern living. Significant groundwork has already been completed, with Phases I and II finalized by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, providing a valuable head start toward future development. This progress allows for a smoother path to bringing your vision to life, whether envisioning a striking contemporary masterpiece or a timeless hillside residence that harmonizes with its elevated surroundings. With its rare combination of privacy, scale, build-ready progress, and commanding views, paired with the potential to incorporate resort-style amenities such as a pool and spa, this Marinette offering stands as a compelling canvas for an extraordinary home, inviting the creation of something truly exceptional along the coveted Pacific Palisades hillside.
