Behind private gates, this exceptional estate offers resort-inspired living in one of Corona del Mar's most coveted neighborhoods.

A lush tropical setting welcomes you home with mature landscaping, cascading waterfalls, a sparkling pool and spa, generous outdoor entertaining spaces, and an additional private spa and fire pit overlooking the spectacular backdrop. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer, soaring ceilings, sweeping staircase, and walls of French doors create a grand first impression while seamlessly connecting the elegant interiors with the breathtaking outdoor setting.

The chef's kitchen is equipped with Sub-Zero refrigeration, quality appliances, abundant custom cabinetry, and a generous breakfast bar that opens to the inviting family room with fireplace and casual dining area—all positioned to enjoy the remarkable views. Formal living and dining rooms provide elegant spaces for entertaining, complete with a fireplace, built-in bar, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
