Entertainer's Dream: New Custom Coastal Masterpiece Entices With Ocean Views, Pool, Spa, Outdoor Lounge and Wine Room

"This is a home that speaks volumes," describes listing agent Michael Mechling about an under-construction Southern California coastal residence custom-designed by Megan Crane Designs and Mark Teale of Teale Architecture, scheduled to be completed in 2025 by Nicholson Companies. "Every detail has been meticulously crafted to create a truly exceptional living experience."

The exceptional living experience Mechling describes begins with the home's remarkable setting within Dana Point's prestigious 24-hour guard-gated Ritz Cove community. Strategic placement of the over 8,000-square-foot, six-bedroom abode maximizes breathtaking views of the golf course, Catalina Island, and whitewater ocean. Inside, the team's meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship brings forward a vision for a personal haven that harmonizes the need for sanctuary and a space for the kind of fluid indoor-to-outdoor entertaining that has become such a prominent fixture in Southern California coastal life.

A chiseled limestone exterior and oversized walnut entry door with asymmetrical glass sidelights set the tone for what lies within. The interiors are a showcase for a "soft contemporary" aesthetic, balancing modernity with warmth and organic materials such as a walnut tongue-and-groove ceiling on the first floor. The custom-designed office space, with its refined bronze and wood shelving, is a sanctuary for the discerning homeowner. A striking smoke glass staircase and a private elevator provide elegant vertical circulation throughout the home. For wine enthusiasts, the dedicated wine room offers a perfect space to store and enjoy a curated collection. The gourmet kitchen, equipped with professional-grade appliances, has been designed for the ultimate in culinary creation. And with a four-car garage, there's plenty of room for vehicles and storage. The home was also desigend with sustainability in mind, and will incorporate solar power. 

Meanwhile, "the backyard is an entertainer's paradise," says Mechling. A spacious dining area, pool, lounge, and sitting area with a fireplace promise year-round enjoyment while endless stretches of beach, ocean, towering cliffs, and the rolling green fairways of nearby Monarch Beach Golf Links dance in the foreground. Amenities and services of the five-star Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel are just a stone's throw away.
