    What's special

    A residence of this caliber is rarely available. Set above one of Laguna Beach’s most dramatic stretches of coastline, this custom estate offers sweeping views of the Pacific, Catalina Island, and the rugged shoreline. Surrounded by the historic Smithcliffs pine trees, the property provides privacy and a unique sense of place. The architecture blends classic and modern influences, with interiors designed to connect seamlessly to terraces, gardens, and sun-filled outdoor spaces. The main level supports both entertaining and everyday living, beginning with a striking foyer and floating spiral staircase. The great room opens through large sliding doors to the main ocean-facing terrace. The kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, an oversized island, walk-in pantry, and professional-grade appliances from Wolf, Fisher & Paykel, Sub-Zero, and Miele. A formal dining room with a cross-vaulted ceiling opens to the outdoors through newer Fleetwood French doors. Approximately 7,119 square feet, the home includes four ensuite bedrooms and nine baths. The privately positioned primary suite opens to a meditation garden and includes two walk-in closets and a jetted tub. Additional features include handcrafted finishes, custom mosaics, wood and stone flooring, three fireplaces, multiple wet bars, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, upgraded AV system, newer generator, and an elevator. The lower level showcases an exceptional 11-car garage—an uncommon amenity in coastal Laguna Beach—ideal for collectors or those seeking a display gallery or workshop. The rooftop deck offers a private retreat with a fireplace, newer glass surrounds, above-ground spa, built-in BBQ, and dining area framed by expansive ocean views. This property represents a rare opportunity to own a home of significant scale, craftsmanship, and coastal presence in one of Laguna Beach’s most distinctive neighborhoods.
