Q&A

MariSol is an 80-acre master planned community of 17 grand properties on a private oceanfront bluff on the rural western shores of Malibu, 2 miles west of Encinal Bluffs.

There are two Malibu houses for sale and one is the exquisite Barry Berkus, A.I.A., designed green, MariSol Spanish Estate on Lot #8 offering nearly 10,000 square feet of single story, indoor/outdoor living space, priced at $15.9 million. Plans for the largest home yet, the Coastal Oak Estate, are available in combination with Lot 1 for $4 million.  There are 9 magnificent, fully finished, ready to build Malibu lots of at least one acre which have been released for sale, with prices ranging from $4 to $9 million.  Three 2 acre lots fit for a grand Malibu compound are priced at $5.9, $9.9 and $10.9 million.  A full build out of the Grand Estate, a 57-acre Malibu Ranch & Vineyard, is available for $30 million.

No.  Unlike any other Malibu coastal community, MariSol's houses for sale are exempt from coastal development permits and are not subject to City restrictions.  Hence, there are no City bluff top set back requirements, no City view shed ordinances, no 18 foot ridgeline limitation and no unduly restrictive limitation on the size of your Malibu home.  If thoughtfully planned, a homeowner can build a home of 20,000 square feet or more on one of the MariSol Malibu Estates.  Further easing the construction process, all estate sites are perfectly finished and landscaped.  All a homeowner needs to do is develop plans and pull a building permit and they can own a home on the same level as the current MariSol Malibu Houses for Sale.  Finally, homebuilding is greatly simplified and expedited by MariSol's Homebuilder Program which, for no additional cost, assists owners in architect and consultant selection, budgeting and cost estimates, advising and assisting on building permit approvals - nearly everything to help each owner realize all they envision. 

Yes. The whitewater, island and mountain views are incomparable and pristine and with the lot frontage parallel to the east/west coastline, views of the sun setting into the Pacific are year round.

The 13 oceanfront estate sites have ocean frontage varying from 130 feet to 210 feet, allowing highly desirable single story estates.  The 2 acre sites range from 282 feet to 463 feet of frontage.

Yes.  Access to the sites is not from PCH but from a newly constructed, wide, safe, landscaped parkway (Ellice Street) which services only MariSol's properties.

No. Ellice Street has no power poles or street lights to interfere with the pristine night sky and utility lines on all the other streets bordering MariSols 80 acres, including PCH, have been undergrounded.

Yes. The Showcase home has parking on site for more than 10 cars and estate sites can be designed for much more.  Further, for entertaining, Ellice Street provides nearly unlimited additional, immediately adjacent parking.

MariSol offers a community and lifestyle unlike any other in Malibu. Here living is serene and rural, the roads uncongested, the nature abundant, the ocean water pure, the views different and pristine and the geography majestic. MariSol is for those who wish to experience resort style living in a private and native wonderland-watermen, naturalists, vacationers, truth seekers and all the rest of us who wish to wind down from that part of our life which is busier. Visitors have likened MariSol to Punta Mita, Hawaii, Cabo San Lucas - all great resort destinations but so distant. Here owners can experience resort-style living in their back yard, on the great Malibu Riviera. If you wish this lifestyle as your primary or getaway home in Malibu, you can only have it at MariSol. CC&Rs ensure that serenity and the community lifestyle will continue indefinitely.

MariSol honors the legacy of Frederick Rindge who owned these lands, and all of Rancho Malibu, a century ago. MariSol has been revegetated with this land's indigenous species, with specimen coastal oaks and toyons from similar locales and a great number of compatible ocean friendly and drought tolerant species, all of which have created lush park like grounds surrounding the estate sites. Each of the fully landscaped oceanfront bluff top estate sites is a work of art, meticulously framed by Marisol's signature walls of stone quarried on site, providing extraordinary privacy and natural beauty. A botanical garden and Official Monarch Butterfly Waystation is the centerpiece of these gardens, with trails for viewing for MariSol's homeowners.

No.  MariSol's home sites vary in elevation from 70 to 100 feet above sea level and at the base of the coastal bluff on which MariSol is located, unseen from MariSol's homes, is PCH which is maintained by the State.  Thus, unlike other oceanfront coastal bluffs, directly impacted by wave action, MariSol's properties are free from the threat of tidal erosion.

MariSol's 13 oceanfront bluff top estates are protected to the south by the ocean, to the north by a 50 foot wide street lined with fire hydrants and a 400 foot greenbelt. Further power lines which create risk of fire, have been removed and utilities undergrounded. Finally, a new state of the art Ventura County fire station has been constructed adjacent to MariSol. In the event of fire, evacuation to PCH is immediate.

Yes. To insure the adequacy of the water service at MariSol, MariSol's developer acquired the water utility company which services the community and made substantial improvements to that system, increasing significantly its productivity and efficiency.  The governmental agencies which review the adequacy of the system and quality of the water consistently certify the system, without exception.

Yes.  Camarillo's private jet center, featuring one of the best FBOs in North America, SunAirJets, is just 15 minutes away.  Van Nuys Airport is 45 minutes away and plays host to Universal Jets.
