Property Description
Anchoring the estate is an expansive oceanfront lawn and gardens – a unique feature rarely found in oceanfront estates along this coast. This generous space provides a special sense of serenity and offers a level of privacy uncommon in oceanfront living. Whether used for entertaining, relaxing or simply taking in the ever-changing light over the water or whale-watching, the space feels like your own private overlook park.
The views from inside the home are epic - framed by towering two-story 'windows on the Pacific'. With substantial interior square footage and a forward location on the point, the home would be difficult (if not impossible) to replicate under today's coastal development restrictions. Currently configured as a four-bedroom home with an abundance of additional flexible-use rooms, the floor plan and size easily lend themselves to a variety of configurations depending on the new owner's needs. Also unusual in oceanfront properties, this home has three oversized garage bays and driveway parking.
For those unfamiliar with Laguna Beach's Crescent Bay, this stretch of sand is stunningly beautiful and never without something interesting to watch. Waves crash on the tide pools in endlessly interesting patterns, pelicans fly by at eye level as they head back to their nests, colorful umbrellas dot the sand, and the local marine mammal rescue uses this beach to release the seals and sea lions they've nursed back to health. It is considered one of the most picturesque spots on the California coast and inspired the artist pilgrimage to the area that established Laguna Beach before the 20th century. Crescent Bay Drive and even this property counts among its owners and residents many of the notable families whose names are still known to this day – Heisler, McKnight, and Florence ‘Pancho' Barnes.
Chateau du Soleil, 245 Crescent Bay Drive, is a singular offering. Spectacular locale, stunning setting, and the required existing building envelope to satisfy dreams. Rare are estate opportunities like this.
