About This Home

As of January 2026

Available for lease, 240 Ocean View Avenue—often described as The Nature House—offers a rare sense of serenity, privacy, and coastal beauty in one of Del Mar’s most desirable neighborhoods. Surrounded by trees, this single-story mid-century modern residence captures breathtaking white-water ocean views overlooking Torrey Pines Beach and provides easy access to the ocean and nearby walking and hiking trails. The home features a thoughtfully designed floor plan with extensive built-ins and abundant storage throughout. Large windows frame ocean and nature views while enhancing the tranquil, light-filled interiors. On quiet evenings, the sound of waves from the beach adds to the peaceful coastal ambiance. A walled entry with a charming brick walkway leads into the home, creating a sense of privacy from the street. Multiple patios offer inviting outdoor spaces to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the surrounding natural setting and ocean breezes. Ideally located on an exceptional street close to beaches, trails, dining, and the Del Mar Village.
