About This Lot

As of September 2025

Panoramic ocean views, a prized flat lot, and an unbeatable location welcome to 18428 Clifftop Way. Perfectly positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac in Malibu's desirable Sunset Mesa, this 6,365-square-foot parcel offers a rare chance to build your dream home with unobstructed 180 vistas stretching from Santa Monica to Palos Verdes, Catalina Island, and the Santa Monica Mountains. One of the few flat streets in the Mesa, Clifftop Way is ideal for easy walking, biking, and construction access no hills, no hassle. The street already features underground electrical utilities, saving time and effort in your build. Just up the hill from the world-renowned Getty Villa and moments from Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and Santa Monica, this coveted Westside enclave is within the sought-after Malibu/Santa Monica school district.
