Located in one of Orange County's most prestigious locations, this oceanfront estate provides a fabulous opportunity to reimagine an exquisite Villa with explosive head-on views of the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy the privacy of the Rockledge community, with private stairs to the beach below. A beautiful gated courtyard with fountain opens to the property - originally designed by architect Garrett Van Pelt, where large-scale rooms, walls of french doors and ocean vistas await. The grounds offer mature landscaping, lush lawns and a multitude of sitting areas that overlook the ocean below. Very rarely does a property of this caliber, potential and location come to market. Current owners have approvals from City of Laguna Beach and Coastal Commission for a remodel that includes expansion of oceanside deck, garage and an interior remodel. A Mills Act application has also been submitted.
