An extraordinary coastal estate, this bluff-top property encompasses two adjoining parcels totaling approximately 2.8 acres, offering unparalleled Pacific Ocean and Channel Island vistas. A rare offering, owned by the same family for over 50 years, this estate is situated on a private road and presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enhance the existing structures and/or potentially build anew.
The thoughtfully sited single-story home features a well- designed floor plan with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The formal living room and dining area, framed by a row of French doors, opens to a terrace with sweeping ocean and island views. The entertainer's kitchen flows effortlessly into a sunlit family room and breakfast area, with doors extending to terraces designed for alfresco dining and unforgettable sunsets. The primary suite is a private retreat, boasting a spacious bedroom, generous closets, and a large bathroom. Two other bedrooms, one with a separate office/play area, offers plenty of room for family and friends.
Outside, a large pool and spa appear to float above the Pacific, surrounded by lush landscaping that creates a serene sanctuary for entertaining or quiet reflection. Gardens and lawns abound, providing multiple areas for play and to exercise your green thumb. An expansive ocean-view deck provides the perfect setting for significant gatherings, capturing gentle sea breezes and breathtaking sunsets. Additionally, there is a large detached two- room workshop structure that provides ample space suitable for multiple purposes.
A prime opportunity to own a piece of the California coast.
