17845 Porto Marina

Panoramic ocean views, golden sunsets, and peaceful sea breezes. Perched on a quiet bluff above Castle Rock Beach, just minutes from the Getty Villa and Sunset Boulevard, this serene Pacific Palisades lot offers the perfect combination of views, tranquility, and proximity to the sand. A short stroll down Porto Marina leads to a pedestrian bridge with direct beach access, making daily seaside walks a future reality. Lovingly held by the same family for over 50 years, the original 2-bed, 2-bath home (1,318 sq ft per title) was lost in the Palisades Fire. In 2004-2005, an 800 sq ft addition was constructed. The sellers believed it to have been fully permitted, but LADBS does not appear to have records of any permits being finalized and all paperwork related to the construction was lost in the fire. While this may affect eligibility for a larger home under express rebuild provisions, buyers are encouraged to explore future development potential with the City. The property has been fully cleared (Phase 1 & 2) by the Army Corps of Engineers, leaving two flat pads: one at street level where the garage originally stood, and a larger upper pad, set behind a still-standing retaining wall, where the home was originally built in 1955. Whether you're looking to recreate a cherished legacy or design something entirely new, this rare lot offers a compelling opportunity in one of the Palisades' most peaceful, view-rich settings -- just moments from the sand.
