    What's special

    Commanding oceanfront viewsExtraordinary oceanfront estatePrivate theaterTimeless architectureSurrounded by mature landscapingDirect beach accessBilliards lounge
    Perched atop La Jolla's coveted Billionaire's Bluff, and adjacent to the highest sale in San Diego's history ($57 million), this extraordinary oceanfront estate is one of only eight residences privileged to occupy one of California's most exclusive stretches of coastline. Recently refreshed and impeccably presented, the property showcases breathtaking panoramic ocean views spanning from La Jolla Cove to Scripps Pier and north to Dana Point, creating an unforgettable backdrop from nearly every principal room. Completed in 2010 after being meticulously crafted over the course of nearly a decade, the residence blends timeless architecture with enduring quality and modern luxury, creating an unrivaled coastal compound just steps to direct beach access to the golden sands of La Jolla Shores. Given today's stringent coastal development regulations, a legacy estate of this scale, prominence, and oceanfront positioning could likely never be replicated, making it an exceptionally rare offering for generations to come. Designed for both grand entertaining and effortless everyday living, the estate offers an exceptional main residence complemented by an expansive detached 2 suite guest residence, delivering a true luxury compound experience with remarkable privacy. Resort style amenities include a spectacular saltwater pool and spa, an impressive game room featuring a two lane bowling alley, a private theater, fitness studio, billiards lounge, and countless spaces designed for recreation and relaxation. Completely concealed behind gates and surrounded by mature landscaping, the home enjoys an extraordinary sense of seclusion while embracing one of the most captivating settings on the California coast. The chef's kitchen is equipped for the most discerning culinary enthusiast with professional grade appliances, multiple ovens, specialty cooking stations, wine and beverage refrigeration, and every convenience expected in a world class residence. Luxurious guest suites, each thoughtfully appointed with spa inspired baths and private amenities, ensure exceptional comfort for family and visitors alike. A comprehensive smart home system seamlessly controls security, lighting, climate, window coverings, and entertainment, while around the clock surveillance and gated entry provide complete peace of mind. Outside, the ever changing scenery of crashing waves, passing dolphins, seabirds, kayakers, and spectacular sunsets transforms every day into a remarkable coastal experience. Offering an unmatched combination of location, privacy, amenities, architectural significance, and scale, this is a once in a generation opportunity to own one of the few estates on La Jolla's Billionaire's Bluff where direct beach access, commanding oceanfront views, and an extraordinary lifestyle come together in one truly iconic residence.
