199 Emerald Bay, Laguna Beach, CA 92651

Perched atop a cliff in the prestigious enclave of Emerald Bay, this extraordinary estate, among merely three with direct private access to the waters below at Irvine Cove, offers boundless vistas of the ocean, Catalina Island, Palos Verdes and roaring whitewater just beneath you. Designed with intention to capitalize on both, the ever-changing views & privacy from neighbors, this residence occupies one of the most expansive lots within Emerald Bay as well as the Coast with nearly 100’ of frontage. Multiple terraces, mature landscaping, and a cove-facing hot tub were meticulously envisioned to maximize the natural slopes and endless views of crashing waves. A spectacular towering cypress greets you as you enter the estate while sea lions, dolphins, ospreys, yachts, and more entertain. A soft contemporary design intersects with functionality, resulting in inviting interiors that lend themselves to everyday living and entertaining. The different wings add privacy for family and guests. Soaring ceilings create voluminous spaces throughout the residence. Walls of glass opening to the terraces bring the Pacific Ocean and beyond indoors and it feels as if you’re sitting on top of the water. The muted palette of natural materials such as wood and limestone, curated to not compete with the coastal beauty, creates a soothing environment. Grand in scale, the main areas of the property as well as all bedrooms face outwards towards the multiple water-facing terraces. The owners’ suite spans nearly an entire level of the home, creating a private retreat with a spectacular view balcony. The rarity of this vastness while designed to optimize privacy from neighbors of this oceanfront estate cannot be overstated.
