Perched on a rare half-acre end-point lot, the property offers unobstructed 180-degree panoramic ocean, white-water, and hill views with zero visual clutter from neighboring rooftops.
The interior has been fully scraped to the studs, meaning the property is currently a construction site and cannot be occupied without a total build-out.
Beyond the $6.45M acquisition cost, the buyer will require substantial capital to execute the approved 6,800 SF luxury transformation, making the total project cost significantly higher.
Perched at the end of an elevated, single-loaded cul-de-sac shared by just four homes, this rare Mystic Hills estate presents an extraordinary opportunity to create a private coastal retreat or showpiece entertainer’s residence. Set on a 22,000-square-foot, half-acre point lot, the property captures sweeping 180-degree ocean, whitewater and hillside views with exceptional privacy, open sightlines and no rooftop visual clutter. Offered for the first time in over sixty years, the residence has been fully cleared on the interior and is ready for a complete custom remodel. Seller has secured January 2026 Design Review Board approval for a major three-level transformation of approximately 6,800 square feet, offering a remarkable head start for the next owner’s vision. A once-in-a-generation Laguna Beach offering, this property combines scale, privacy, views and location in a setting that simply cannot be replicated.
