Description

Perhaps the best view site to build on the Westside is this overlooked alternative to burned lots in the Palisades. Perched atop the coveted Santa Monica Canyon hillside, this extraordinary property offers an unrivaled opportunity for a one-of-a-kind ocean-view framed perfectly in the middle of the Canyon. See the waves crashing on the beach from what could be an amazing multi-story residence. Conceptual plans available for inspiration. Enjoy a Santa Monica address while falling under the more desirable Los Angeles building and safety. The photos cannot capture just how special this site is for what will no doubt be a masterpiece. Great for end-users and developers.
