Set at the end of a private cul-de-sac behind the 24-hour guarded gates of Bear Brand Ranch, this Mediterranean estate occupies one of the community's most coveted settings. One of just 127 custom residences, the property spans more than an acre, placing it among a select group of true estate-scale homes within the neighborhood. Sweeping views extend across the Pacific Ocean to the surrounding hills, with breathtaking sunsets and sparkling city lights providing a spectacular backdrop. A private gated entrance opens to more than 15,000 square feet of living space designed for both grand entertaining and everyday comfort. A dramatic entry, crowned by a striking chandelier, opens to soaring ceilings, exquisite millwork, six fireplaces, a library, formal living and dining rooms, a bonus room, and seven bedroom suites thoughtfully arranged for family, guests, and multigenerational living. Three primary suites occupy the upper level, each appointed with a private terrace, luxurious bath, and expansive dressing room. Two are ideally positioned to capture the home's most commanding vistas, where panoramic ocean views meet the surrounding landscape. Completed in 2026, a thoughtful renovation renewed the residence while honoring its original architecture. Marble floors were professionally restored, interiors were refreshed, the kitchen was enhanced with new high-end appliances, and an entirely new 6-unit HVAC system was installed. Beyond the glass, resort-inspired grounds unfold with a pool, spa, waterfall, covered pavilion, outdoor kitchen, bar seating, and manicured lawns framed by mature palms. Just minutes from Salt Creek Beach, Dana Point Harbor, Monarch Beach Golf Links, The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, and Montage Laguna Beach, the home offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and coastal elegance. Offered with the opportunity to acquire select furnishings and artwork, the residence presents a truly turnkey lifestyle within one of Southern California's most exclusive gated communities.
