About This Home

As of August 2025

Perched in the exclusive gated enclave of Emerald Bay, this exceptional ocean-view estate captures breathtaking views of the pacific coastline. Rarely does a home of this caliber—where impeccable design meets superior craftsmanship—come to market. The property’s unique street-to-street lot, spanning approximately 9,460 square feet, ensures both privacy and accessibility in an unrivaled setting. Designed with an architectural vision to maximize views of Catalina Island, the coastline, and white-water waves from nearly every room, this residence epitomizes coastal luxury. The resort-like outdoor spaces invite seamless indoor-outdoor living, featuring an infinity-edge pool, spa, and expansive terraces perfect for entertaining in Laguna’s climate. The approximately 6,755-square-foot interior offers an effortless flow. The main level integrates the living room, family room, gourmet kitchen, and a private dining room, all framed by stunning ocean vistas. The lower level boasts four en-suite bedrooms, a second family room with a bar, and access to the breathtaking outdoor retreat. A private sanctuary awaits on the upper level, where the master suite opens onto an intimate terrace with commanding coastal views. Built with sustainability in mind, this environmentally conscious home incorporates state-of-the-art non-VOC materials, reclaimed woods, LED lighting, and a powerful 52-panel solar energy system. Additional highlights include a 4,500-gallon recirculating koi pond, a nearly 1,200-bottle wine cellar, Riviera Bronze doors and windows, gym, imported stone fireplaces, and a rare seven-car garage. Emerald Bay offers an unparalleled lifestyle with access to a private white-sand beach, six tennis courts, three sand volleyball courts, a community swimming pool complex, and parks. This is a rare opportunity to own a true masterpiece in one of Southern California’s most exclusive enclaves.
