Architectural Ocean-View Estate | 9-Level Custom Home on 1.8+ Acres
Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind coastal estate located in the highly sought-after South San Clemente Beach. Set on over 1.8 acres and offering approximately 6,952 square feet, this extraordinary 9-level cedar and glass architectural residence features 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms with sweeping ocean views and exceptional privacy.
Designed by award-winning architect John McInnes and previously featured in Orange County Homes & Gardens, the home showcases remarkable craftsmanship, dramatic design, and expansive indoor-outdoor living spaces that capture cool ocean breezes and stunning coastal vistas from multiple balconies.
The home is designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable living, featuring soaring ceilings, expansive living areas, a chef’s kitchen, wet bar, and private elevator connecting multiple levels. At the center of the home is a dramatic indoor jacuzzi, creating a unique spa-like focal point.
The primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a large jetted soaking tub, dual-head shower, and tranquil setting beside a peaceful stream and waterfall feature.
A true highlight of the property is the private ocean-view observatory with wet bar, an unforgettable space perfect for sunset entertaining, stargazing, or enjoying panoramic views of the coastline and surf.
Additional features include 31 solar panels, four 220V outlets, fire-retardant composite roofing, generous multi-car parking, and a quiet location near top-rated schools. The property includes two separate APN parcels, offering added flexibility, privacy, and potential future opportunities. No HOA.
Rarely found along the coast, the property also offers built-in income potential with multiple rentable living spaces, making it ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, or rental opportunities.
Surrounded by mature landscaping and located just a 10-minute walk to Riviera Beach and world-class surf, this remarkable estate offers one of the lowest price-per-square-foot opportunities among coastal homes west of I-5.
A rare chance to own a legacy architectural property that blends space, privacy, artistry, and the quintessential San Clemente coastal lifestyle.
