About This Home
As of June 2025Perched high above the Pacific on one of South Laguna Beach’s most exclusive vantage points, this newly reimagined Mediterranean chateau offers an unparalleled fusion of luxury, serenity, and breathtaking natural beauty. With unobstructed 180-degree views from the beaches below to Catalina Island, San Clemente Island, Palos Verdes, and beyond, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the coveted California Riviera. Spanning 3,100 square feet on a 6,336 sqft lot, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom retreat is designed to showcase the ocean’s ever-changing beauty. The main living area features walls of glass framing mesmerizing ocean panoramas, filling the space with golden sunsets and the sound of crashing waves. Manufactured wood flooring flows seamlessly through the open-concept layout, where a secondary living room with stone-accented walls offers a cozy yet refined escape, all framed by ocean vistas. The chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece, featuring quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a double oven, and custom cabinetry—all designed to capture breathtaking ocean views. The dining area extends to a private outdoor terrace with a built-in BBQ and al fresco lounge space to enjoy unobstructed ocean and sunset views. Upstairs, the primary suite is an unrivaled sanctuary with vaulted ceilings, a spa-like en-suite bath, and a private balcony seemingly floating over the horizon. Two additional ocean-view bedrooms and a versatile bonus room/office (or in-law suite) share a sleekly remodeled bathroom. A guest bedroom with French doors opens to a serene outdoor landing, offering another peaceful retreat. Extensive renovations have updated the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, decks, and living spaces for modern luxury. Unmatched privacy enhances this coastal retreat, with no neighbors above or to the right. Approved plans allow for an additional 1,100sqft, offering potential for an ADU or added living space, plus an elevator shaft for future convenience. The garage features a car lift for optimized storage. A short walk to the beaches including West Street, Treasure Island, Table Rock, and Aliso Beach, this home is also walkable to the renowned Montage Resort, The Ranch, and premier dining and shopping. Private stairs from the side balcony lead to scenic trails and coastal overlooks. With breathtaking ocean views, exquisite updates, and limitless potential, this exclusive Laguna Beach retreat is truly one of a kind. Schedule your private tour today.
