About this home
A rare coastal development opportunity at 986 Ocean Lane, located in one of Imperial Beach’s most desirable beachfront corridors. This flat, highly usable lot offers exceptional potential for a variety of coastal concepts and is positioned within effortless walking distance to the sand, Seacoast Drive, dining, cafés, the pier, and the rapidly evolving Imperial Beach waterfront district. This is one of the last remaining buildable lots in Imperial Beach, making it a truly extraordinary chance to secure land this close to the Pacific Ocean in Southern California. From the property, you’ll enjoy beautiful views of the Imperial Beach Pier and the Coronado Islands. This oceanfront parcel has not been available since 2002, underscoring its extreme scarcity and generational appeal. Opportunities of this caliber rarely re-emerge in a lifetime. Situated within the SMU/RO – Seacoast Commercial Mixed-Use / Residential Overlay Zone, this parcel benefits from one of Imperial Beach’s most flexible coastal zoning designations, permitting a wide spectrum of residential, mixed-use, and visitor-serving commercial concepts. The combination of oceanfront setting, walkability, and zoning versatility creates a remarkable canvas for a luxury ocean-front home, a boutique residential design, or a coastal hybrid concept aligned with applicable zoning and coastal guidelines. Hotel and lodging formats—including boutique inns, bed-and-breakfasts, motels, and timeshare-style units—are also allowable within this overlay. ADUs and a Junior ADU are permissible, offering additional flexibility for those pursuing a residential build. The parcel benefits from immediate access to public utilities and sits within a highly sought-after coastal neighborhood marked by ongoing revitalization, thoughtful redevelopment, and enduring demand for oceanfront properties. With its irreplaceable location, true ocean frontage, and exceptional zoning flexibility, this property offers a rare chance to create a landmark coastal residence or distinctive development project in a market where opportunities of this magnitude are nearly nonexistent. Whether you envision a signature luxury coastal residence, a unique income-producing asset, or a long-term investment in a premier beachfront setting, 986 Ocean Lane stands as one of San Diego County’s most compelling and limited-inventory ocean-front opportunities.
