🌄 Encinal Bluffs
Overview:
Encinal Bluffs is one of Malibu’s most coveted coastal enclaves, defined by its majestic cliffs, sprawling estates, and panoramic ocean views. This stretch of Malibu’s western coastline is a showcase of quiet luxury — offering privacy, acreage, and some of the most breathtaking sunsets on the California coast. Many properties are gated, and several include private staircases down to secluded beaches.
Real Estate:
Encinal Bluffs features some of Malibu’s most prestigious real estate, including architecturally significant estates with extensive frontage, guesthouses, and beach paths. The lots here are larger than typical Malibu parcels — often 1 to 4 acres — and command premium prices due to privacy, ocean exposure, and flat usable land. Homes are often hidden behind long, gated driveways and are ideal for buyers seeking coastal serenity.
Lifestyle Highlights:
- Iconic ocean views and blufftop privacy
