    What's special

    Occupying a commanding, elevated position at the intersection of Prospect and Cave Street, this site offers one of the rarest opportunities in La Jolla. Perched above the world-renowned sea caves and coastal trail, the property offers a visionary the option to transform it into a single-family estate, a multi-generational compound or to upgrade and maintain the multi-unit rental asset. The property consists of five separate residences across two connected structures - a 3BR/2BA, a 2BR/1BA, a 1BR/1BA and two studios - situated above four single-car garages and centered around a private courtyard. These existing improvements can provide immediate utility and income potential while plans for a future transformation take shape. Yet the true value lies in the land’s extraordinary combination of location and elevation, offering privacy and magnificent views where the Pacific meets the Village. Seize this chance to create a legacy project - an architectural jewel at the entrance to the iconic Cove and Scripps Park - that simply cannot be replicated in today’s landscape.
