About this home

“Where Vision Meets the View” | Laguna Beach Oceanfront Compound... Some homes stop you in your tracks. Others shift your perspective. This one does both!! Perched above the sand in the heart of Laguna’s legendary HIP District, this oceanfront compound sits on a rare double lot exceeding 10,000 sq ft, with 50 ft of pure coastal frontage on top of a Panoramic over view blufftop with your own private stairway to the sandy beach and shoreline of Cress Cove below. Giving you a front row seat to one of the most inspiring coastlines in the world. Sunrise surf sessions and golden hour dinners above the water is just the start. Designed for connection, creativity, and legacy, the property features a stand alone 4 bedroom + office main residence that feels suspended above the ocean and serves as the heart of the estate. Behind it Three additional 2 bedroom 2 bath condos surround a private pool terrace, and sit on top of a bonus flex space/ pool house that can transform into a gym, studio, or media retreat. Creating an intimate, gated enclave that’s equally suited for a multi-generational retreat, income producing investment, or luxury redevelopment vision. It is the ultimate setting for family, friends, or guests to gather and still retreat into their own space. The four car garage and multiple addresses add function to the form, while the setting is just moments from the Surf & Sand Resort and the best restaurants, boutiques, art galleries and cafés of the HIP District. Making this property an irreplaceable jewel within Laguna’s cultural heart. This is more than just real estate, it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a true oceanfront estate in the most walkable, coveted, and creatively charged pocket of Laguna Beach. Properties of this scale, frontage, and flexibility are virtually never available. Some Views just whisper…You’re Home! Come see why the lucky few call this stretch of coastline home.

Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1972, features extensively renovated interiors, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, which showcase modern designs, high-end finishes, and integrated appliances. The kitchen boasts sleek light wood cabinetry, white countertops, and a subway tile backsplash, while the bathrooms include contemporary vanities, freestanding tubs, and glass-enclosed showers with modern fixtures. Consistent large-format grey tile flooring is present throughout the main living areas and bedrooms. However, the presence of wall-mounted AC units in multiple rooms indicates a lack of central HVAC, which is a significant detractor for a luxury property of this caliber and price point. While the visible renovated areas are move-in ready and stylish, the older build year and the non-central cooling system prevent an 'Excellent' rating, placing it firmly in the 'Good' category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Unrivaled Oceanfront Location & Views: Direct oceanfront on a rare double blufftop lot with 50 ft of coastal frontage, private beach access to Cress Cove, and panoramic views of the coastline, Catalina, and city lights.
Exceptional Versatility & Income Potential: A unique compound featuring a 4-bedroom main residence plus three additional 2-bedroom condos and a flexible pool house, ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or significant income generation.
Prime Walkable 'HIP District' Access: Situated in the heart of Laguna Beach's vibrant HIP District, offering immediate access to upscale restaurants, boutiques, art galleries, and the Surf & Sand Resort.
Rare Double Lot & Significant Scale: Boasts a rare double lot exceeding 10,000 sq ft, providing an expansive and highly coveted footprint for an oceanfront property in this exclusive area.
High Redevelopment & Investment Value: Described as a 'once-in-a-generation opportunity' with 'luxury redevelopment vision,' indicating substantial long-term investment potential due to its irreplaceable location and scale.

Cons

Age of Structures (1972): The property was built in 1972, suggesting that the existing residences may require significant modernization or renovation to align with contemporary luxury standards, or could imply higher ongoing maintenance for older systems.
Implied Need for Substantial Capital Investment: The emphasis on 'luxury redevelopment vision' and the age of the property strongly suggest that a new owner will likely incur significant additional costs for renovation or complete redevelopment beyond the purchase price.
Potential for High Maintenance & Insurance Costs: Oceanfront properties, especially those with multiple structures and private beach access, typically come with elevated maintenance demands due to salt air exposure, potential bluff erosion concerns, and higher insurance premiums.
