About this home

Commandingly positioned at the point of one of Pelican Hill’s most coveted view lots, this custom estate boasts an extraordinarily rare 200 feet of uninterrupted frontage capturing breathtaking white water vistas down the California coastline, past the glistening lights of Newport Harbor, and stretching to the Palos Verdes Peninsula framed by year-round sunsets and Catalina Island resting on the horizon. Set within the prestigious 24/7 guard-gated community of Pelican Hill in Newport Coast, this rare soft contemporary residence offers a refined architectural expression seldom found in the area. The estate’s elevated orientation at the end of a promontory ensures exceptional privacy and arguably the finest view vantage in the neighborhood. Inside, the home presents a thoughtful floor plan highlighted by two grand primary suites upstairs, each with dedicated stone-clad spa-like bathrooms, generous wardrobes, and unmatched coastal panoramas. An elegant spiral staircase anchors the great room, which opens through expansive walls of glass to the rear grounds where an illuminated pool and manicured landscaping merge seamlessly with the horizon beyond. A grand fireplace adds warmth and sophistication to the view-centric living space. The formal dining room that flows to a covered and enclosed outdoor dining and lounge area. The kitchen is richly appointed with exquisite full-slab stonework, an open-concept breakfast nook, and adjacent living space, creating a perfect balance of luxury and functionality. Additional highlights include a main-level guest suite, a lounge/library, a massage and salon suite, and a spacious subterranean level featuring a game room, multiple flexible living areas, and additional bedroom and bathroom accommodations. The estate also boasts an expansive subterranean garage and exceptional storage throughout. A gated, on-grade motor court and central entry fountain welcome guests into a lushly landscaped front courtyard, while mature plantings enhance the serenity and privacy of the property’s outdoor living spaces. Representing one of the most significant land parcels in all of Pelican Hill for both orientation and panoramic frontage, this estate presents a rare opportunity to personalize a dream residence in a location that defines world-class coastal living.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Unrivaled Panoramic Views: Commandingly positioned with an extraordinarily rare 200 feet of uninterrupted frontage, offering breathtaking white water vistas of the California coastline, Newport Harbor, Palos Verdes Peninsula, year-round sunsets, and Catalina Island, arguably the finest view vantage in the neighborhood.
Prestigious Guard-Gated Community: Located within the exclusive 24/7 guard-gated community of Pelican Hill in Newport Coast, ensuring security, privacy, and a high-end lifestyle.
Exceptional Privacy & Significant Land Parcel: The estate's elevated orientation at the end of a promontory ensures exceptional privacy, and it represents one of the most significant land parcels in Pelican Hill for both orientation and panoramic frontage.
Luxurious & Thoughtful Design: A rare soft contemporary residence with a refined architectural expression, featuring a thoughtful floor plan, two grand primary suites with spa-like bathrooms, an elegant spiral staircase, expansive walls of glass, and rich full-slab stonework.
Extensive Amenities & Flexible Spaces: Boasts an illuminated pool, manicured landscaping, formal dining, covered outdoor lounge, main-level guest suite, lounge/library, massage/salon suite, a spacious subterranean level with game room and flexible living areas, and an expansive subterranean garage.

Cons

Opportunity for Personalization/Updates: The description highlights a 'rare opportunity to personalize a dream residence,' suggesting that while luxurious, a new owner may still incur significant costs to update or tailor the home to their specific modern tastes, given its 1994 build.
High Monthly Association Fees: The property carries a substantial ongoing association fee of $1,080.00 per month, which adds to the overall cost of ownership.
Extensive Property Maintenance: Given the large square footage (10,789 sqft), substantial lot size (21,192 sqft), and numerous luxury features (pool, extensive landscaping, specialized rooms), the property will demand considerable ongoing maintenance time and financial investment.
