Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1985 and described as 'largely untouched,' the property is in well-maintained but dated condition. While the home features high-quality custom architecture like wood-paneled pyramid ceilings and expansive French doors, the interior finishes, including the carpeting and stone tile flooring, reflect 40-year-old styles. The listing explicitly identifies the home as a renovation opportunity, indicating that while functional, the kitchen, bathrooms, and major systems likely require modernization to meet current luxury standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 20925, living area = 4606.
Perched at one of San Clemente's highest vantage points, the property offers rare, unobstructed 360-degree views spanning from Catalina Island and Dana Point Harbor to the Saddleback Mountains.
The estate includes a detached casita built on caissons and a large pool/spa area—features that are increasingly difficult to replicate today due to modern building constraints and hillside regulations.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
Built in 1985 and described as 'largely untouched,' the 4,600+ square foot interior requires a comprehensive and costly renovation to align with modern luxury standards.
The property's elevated hillside position and specialized structural elements, such as the caisson-supported casita, may involve higher long-term maintenance costs and complex engineering requirements for future upgrades.
Perched atop one of the highest vantage points in all of San Clemente, this property evokes a sense of serenity and scale that is increasingly difficult to find. Sweeping views stretch from Catalina Island to Dana Point Harbor and miles of coastline, while also capturing the Dana Point Headlands, city lights, and distant mountain ranges, including Saddleback and Mount Baldy. The result is a dynamic perspective that blends ocean, islands, hills, and skyline—a combination rarely found on a single homesite. Set on a uniquely positioned lot with only one truly adjacent neighbor, the property offers exceptional privacy. Hillsides and natural slopes surround the residence, leaving sightlines completely unobstructed. No rooftops, no trees, and no visual barriers—just open horizon in nearly every direction. Originally built in 1985 as a custom home, the property features elements that would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to replicate today. The large pool and spa are positioned to take full advantage of the view, while a detached casita sits on caissons along the slope—a unique and highly valuable feature that current building constraints would make challenging to reproduce. These components, combined with the elevated setting, create a layout rarely achievable today. The existing residence spans just over 4,600 square feet and includes a three-car garage, offering substantial size and flexibility for future vision. The home has remained largely untouched over the years, preserving its original character. For the next owner, this presents an opportunity to reimagine and modernize a property that already offers features that are difficult to duplicate. Outdoor spaces fully embrace the setting, with expansive hardscape, pool and spa areas, and multiple vantage points designed to capture the wide views. Whether enjoying the coastal backdrop during the day or the city lights in the evening, the property delivers a constantly changing perspective. Despite its elevated and private setting, the location remains remarkably convenient—approximately 0.1 miles to the Ridgeline Trailhead, five minutes to downtown San Clemente, and roughly eight minutes to the San Clemente Pier. It is the combination of each of these factors that makes this property truly stand apart. Opportunities to acquire a homesite with this level of presence and potential are rare, offering a chance to create something special in one of San Clemente’s most prominent coastal settings.
