    What's special

    A truly one-of-a-kind oceanfront offering. This private North Laguna Beach estate sits prominently on a rare bluff-top site with direct beach access to one of California’s most picturesque coves. Set behind a secure, custom wood gate and an impressive 50-plus-foot-wide frontage, the property offers exceptional privacy. Enter through the gate and past the detached garage, where lush tropical landscaping and an inviting courtyard immediately transport you to an atmosphere of island-inspired serenity. Upon stepping through the glass entry door, the panoramic ocean views make an unforgettable first impression. Inside, the home continues its relaxed-yet-refined coastal character with crisp, classic styling, hardwood floors throughout, thoughtfully curated wall coverings, custom built-ins, and tailored moldings. The main level features an ocean-view dining area that opens to a generous living room with sweeping ocean vistas and an oversized stone fireplace. The adjoining gourmet kitchen is anchored by custom stone surfaces, high-end appliances, and direct access to both the courtyard and garage. Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys a private ocean-view balcony and a spacious en suite bath. Two additional secondary bedrooms complete the upper level. Below the main floor, a lower-level bonus/bunk room with full bath offers the perfect space for beach-day cleanup, children’s activities, or overflow guests. From the main living areas, multiple bluff-top terraces draw you outward toward the ocean, each providing a front-row vantage point to Crescent Bay Beach. With Twin Points to the south, Seal Rock to the north, and Catalina Island directly ahead, the views are nothing short of spectacular—an ever-changing canvas of light, water, and coastline. This is a setting that embodies the very essence of the Southern California lifestyle: restorative, luxurious, and effortlessly connected to the natural beauty that surrounds it. This estate represents an exceptionally rare chance to own—and elevate—one of North Laguna’s most iconic oceanfront properties.
