Inside a Once-in-a-Generation Double Beachfront Compound on Santa Monica’s Gold Coast

Along Santa Monica’s storied Gold Coast, opportunities tend to surface infrequently, if at all. That’s what makes this new offering so remarkable: two brand-new, trophy modern beachfront residences, perfectly aligned on one of the most coveted and tightly held strips of sand in Southern California. Available together, the pair presents a compound opportunity that borders on the unrepeatable, combining architectural ambition with the kind of beachfront access that comes along once in a generation.

As listing agent Stephan Illouz, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist based in Beverly Hills, puts it, "This is the ultimate compound opportunity or a chance to own one of the most coveted stretches of coastline with flexibility for multi-generational living, investment, or private retreat. Opportunities to acquire two adjacent modern homes on this stretch of sand are virtually nonexistent and impossible to replicate.”

Each home is a showcase of contemporary coastal elegance, defined by bold geometry, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and a seamless dialogue between indoors and out. The residences have been designed to take maximum advantage of their oceanfront position while maintaining a sense of privacy and calm. Panoramic Pacific views serve as the main focal point for many of the main living spaces and primary bedrooms.

The first residence unfolds across three levels, anchored by a main floor conceived entirely for entertaining. A chef’s kitchen with a long dramatic island opens to expansive living and dining areas, all oriented toward the ocean.

Upstairs, four en-suite bedrooms include a showstopping primary suite that feels more boutique resort than bedroom, complete with its own private pool perched on a balcony overlooking the water. Below, a state-of-the-art theater adds a cinematic counterpoint to the home’s breezy openness, with an elevator providing effortless access throughout.

Next door, the second residence expands the vision to a larger, multi-generational scale. With seven bedrooms—including six en-suite and an additional bedroom and bath on the main level—the layout offers exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests, or live-in staff. Two of the en-suite bedrooms function as full primary suites, a rare and intentional design choice that underscores the home’s compound-ready appeal. The main living level is anchored by a striking kitchen with an oversized island and banquet seating, flowing into ocean-facing living and dining spaces centered around a sculptural fireplace. Oceanfront decks extend the living experience outward, while generously proportioned en-suite bedrooms throughout ensure privacy and comfort.

Outdoors, both properties operate as private beachfront resorts. Each features pools and spas accented by cascading waterfalls, firepits, and multiple lounge zones designed for long afternoons that drift into evenings by the sea. A private gate provides direct access to the sand.

The homes are engineered for modern luxury living. High-end finishes blended with a warm and organic materials palette, advanced smart-home systems, rooftop solar panels, elevators servicing the main floors, showcase wine storage, and two separate two-car garages—each equipped with mechanical car turntables—speak to a level of thoughtfulness rarely achieved in beachfront construction.

In a market where beachfront legacy properties rarely trade, this dual-residence compound is as singular as they come.
