First I need to disclose that this parcel is not buildable and more than likely not well suited for crops or anything else for that matter. There are no comps supporting the price and don't bother asking for any reports. Good news though, you do get to own a piece of Malibu. What you get is 1/3 of a cubic foot of prime pre-earthquake dirt in a plexiglass box that is destined to be a "priceless museum piece" when Malibu and Southern Califorinia fall into the sea. Yes, someone is selling some Malibu dirt online. If you are interested you can find it here on Ebay. This brings me to a question that I often get from buyers, "What is the cheapest land in Malibu?" Well, for about $60-$90k I can find you a piece of land. There will probably be "great views" and "abundant wildlife" but what are you really getting? More than likely you will get a 1/4 acre located on the steep portion of a mountain top and it may not have any access unless you get an easement from a neighbor. In other words a useless piece of land. Okay, so what about $200-$400k? For that price you may get a few reports and access to power and water. It still may be challenging to build on and in need of major investment before you can even think about applying for a permit. So here's the "Low Down on the High End". The lower the price the greater the chance that it will be extremely difficult to build on. If you want to build then there really is no "cheap land" in Malibu. A good piece of land with stable geology, access to water and power, and permits will run at least $750,000. The price goes up from there if it has good ocean views, is flat , and not too far away from PCH. Land like this will be close to $1,000,000 an acre.

Wow, $1mil for an acre!  I guess that makes sense considering the home you could put on it.  Our good building lots go for $250,000-$500,000 for a good acre or more with a nice view, and people think that's expensive.  Wait until I tell them about Malibu!

I vacationed in Malibu this summer and was very impressed with the area.  I actually brought back some Homes and Lands books back to New York for my co workers to take a look at.  The quality was impeccable and the homes were gorgeous.  You look like a great team!
