About This Home

As of July 2025

The most spectacular oceanfront estate offering in Laguna Beach presents 3.7 acres of land with 320 feet of sandy beach at the Pacific Ocean. At one of the most scenic beaches in California, the property includes eleven individual parcels and a total of 3 structures. It is a privately gated, sequestered one-of-a-kind compound that is the largest in Coastal Orange County. This property is free of HOA oversight and limitations. Breathtaking views of the ocean, coastline, and sandy cove below are unsurpassed, as is its parklike privacy. Secured by a private road with separate entrance and exit gates to Coast Highway, this property can also be sold in portions of 1.25 acres and 2.5 acres. The sprawling grounds showcase verdant terraces, lawns and lush gardens, statuesque trees, and private overlooks offering priceless ocean views. At land’s edge just 30 feet above the sand is a 70-foot-long extended sea-cliff ledge offering amenities for private outdoor enjoyment for social gatherings or seaside reverie. A safe, enticing footpath leads to private, gated access to the four-season beach, accessible only by you. The opportunity for a grand estate simply does not exist in equal measure in Coastal Orange County. The estate extends full frontage from Coast Highway to the ocean, bounded on the south by Three Arch Bay and a single home to the north. City records note addresses on Coast Highway from 32201 through 32241 (odd numbers), plus other parcels without addresses. Take advantage of this singular opportunity to own this secluded, private, matchless paradise on the Pacific Ocean.
