This Laguna Beach Ocean View Sanctuary Rivals Any Five-Star Resort

This oceanfront Laguna Beach estate may be just four minutes from the five-star amenities of the Montage Resort, but with private stairs to the sand, ocean views from nearly every room, and a full suite of resort-caliber comforts, the real temptation is staying in.

Perched above the sands of Victoria Beach and accessed through the gates of one of Laguna’s most coveted communities, the property commands 66 feet of ocean frontage and delivers a front-row seat to Catalina Island and the ever-changing hues of the Pacific. With sweeping, uninterrupted views from nearly every room, the home feels like a private observatory carved into the coastline. It is a rare piece of paradise—even for sunny Southern California. 

At the heart of the residence, the formal living room stuns with soaring vaulted ceilings, a grand fireplace, and walls of glass that disappear into the horizon. Designed for both grandeur and intimacy, the interiors balance refined textures with a laid-back, coastal sensibility.

The chef’s kitchen—outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances from Sub-Zero, Viking, Thermador, and Miele—opens to a sun-splashed terrace ideal for alfresco dining or cocktails at sunset, as the rhythmic waves below provide a natural soundtrack.

The primary suite offers an elevated sense of retreat. Tucked into its own private wing, it features a romantic fireplace, ocean-view gym, and spa amenities including a dry sauna and steam room. A secluded terrace makes morning coffee or evening stargazing feel like a personal ritual. The suite also boasts a meticulously lit walk-in closet that wouldn’t be out of place in a couture showroom.

Each of the three guest suites has direct access to a sprawling view deck and features rich design details like custom wallpaper and curated lighting. Multiple newly remodeled terraces strengthen the home’s connection to the coastal landscape, offering layered spaces for lounging, entertaining, and taking in the panoramic views.

For those who work—or unwind—in style, the home includes a fully built-out office and an elevator that connects every level, from the main floor to the game room and media lounge below. There, a projection-ready theater setup, wet bar, and designer lighting create a sophisticated ambiance for movie nights or lively gatherings.

The lower levels continue to surprise and delight: a 1,000-bottle wine room flows into a sprawling deck with a built-in spa, creating the perfect setting for intimate evenings under the stars. Tucked just below, a beautifully appointed ADU includes a kitchenette, full bath, and sleeping loft—ideal for guests seeking a touch of autonomy.

A set of private stairs leads directly to the sand, offering unmatched access to one of the area’s most beautiful and secluded beaches. With a three-car garage and proximity to both the famed Pirate’s Tower and Montage Resort, this residence effortlessly balances exclusivity, access, and the allure of Laguna Beach.
