About This Home
As of August 2025Brand new and completed in May 2025, 13 Ritz Cove Drive is a custom-built oceanfront estate located in the exclusive guard-gated community of Ritz Cove. This architectural masterpiece is the result of a prestigious collaboration between renowned architect Mark Teale, acclaimed interior designer Megan Crane, and respected builder Tom Nicholson. Together, they have crafted a one-of-a-kind coastal residence that blends timeless elegance with modern sophistication. Positioned on a rare front-row homesite with unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and the white sands below, the home offers approximately 8,000 square feet of refined living space with 6 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. Designed to maximize light, views, and indoor-outdoor living, nearly every room captures dramatic ocean panoramas. Inside, the home features a grand pivot entry door, expansive limestone flooring, custom-stained walnut ceilings, and an ocean-facing great room with a signature 10’ x 30” Stellar fireplace. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, Dorn Bracht fixtures, and bespoke cabinetry. A 450-bottle, climate-controlled wine room serves as a focal point for entertaining. Two ocean-view primary suites each include spa-style bathrooms with steam showers and private terraces. Additional amenities include a Savant audio system, Lutron lighting controls, comprehensive security system, sculptural limestone stair wall, and a saltwater splash pool with integrated water feature. With direct beach access and just moments from the Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach, and top-tier golf and dining, this newly completed estate offers a rare opportunity to own a legacy property in one of Southern California’s most prestigious coastal communities.
