About This Lot
Located in Sunset Mesa, this oversized 9,310 SQ FT lot on Clifftop Way offers rare privacy with no homes behind it and unobstructed coastal and mountain views. It's one of the most desirable parcels in the neighborhood --- perched on the view side of the street, with long-term protection of your sightlines already built into the CC&Rs. The property offers a rare opportunity to fast-track your rebuild and create a brand-new coastal retreat with sweeping ocean and mountain views. Plans for a 3,599 SQ FT modern home have already been approved by Building & Safety and are ready to proceed with the Fire Rebuild application with Regional Planning. Buyer has the ability to add a further 10% to these plans as part of the 110% like-for-like rebuild. Phase 1 and Phase 2 environmental clearances are complete, and architectural plans are available upon request. Buyers can either build independently or partner with the Sunset Mesa Collective --- the experienced design/build group behind the rendering --- who can customize the plans and manage the full development process. With approvals in hand and all key prep work done, the path to construction is clear and well underway. Additionally, the adjacent lot at 18307 Clifftop is available, offering the opportunity to combine both parcels for an estate-sized property spanning over 20,000 SQ FT. Whether you're an investor seeking a streamlined project or an end-user ready to build a custom ocean-view home, this lot delivers flexibility, momentum, and long-term upside. Be part of Sunset Mesa's next chapter --- a community rebuilding stronger and more resilient than ever. This is a land listing only.
