Carbon Beach, with nicknames like the "
Gold Coast" & "
Billionaire's Beach" truly a
world landmark lending itself to some of the most recognizable last names and boasting some of the greatest architecture.
As one of the most centrally located beaches in Los Angeles, its wide, sandy beach is what makes it so valuable. Malibu beaches are valued by their
use. The further out the tide, the more dry sand, the more expensive. Homes built on stilts above the median high tide line are less valuable. Carbon Beach is a clean, safe, and sandy beach.
Pinned between the Pacific Coast Highway and the Pacific Ocean the homes are exposed to some of the most extreme elements. That doesn't mean you get a discount to own or build here. The cheapest home on this beach runs about $10 million, and that is for a fixer. With last names like Morton, Ellison, Geffen, Katzenburg, Aniston, & Cox (her home is for sale at
33.5 million and was designed by
John Lautner )
