A TRUE ONE-OF-A-KIND COASTAL ESTATE IN SOUTH SAN CLEMENTE. Set on more than 1.8 acres with sweeping ocean views and exceptional privacy, this extraordinary nine-level cedar-and-glass residence offers approximately 6,952 square feet, seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, and an architectural experience unlike anything else along the Southern California coast. Designed by award-winning architect John McInnes and previously featured in Orange County Homes & Gardens, the home showcases remarkable craftsmanship and dramatic indoor-outdoor living. Soaring ceilings, walls of glass, expansive living spaces, and multiple balconies capture ocean breezes and panoramic coastal vistas. Created for entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the home features a chef’s kitchen, generous gathering areas, wet bar, and private elevator connecting multiple levels. At the heart of the residence is a dramatic indoor spa, providing a distinctive centerpiece for relaxation. The primary suite is a secluded retreat near a peaceful stream and waterfall feature. Its spa-inspired bathroom includes a large jetted soaking tub and dual-head shower. One of the estate’s most remarkable spaces is the private ocean-view observatory with wet bar. Perfect for sunset cocktails, stargazing, entertaining, or enjoying the coastline and surf, this elevated retreat is unforgettable. Additional highlights include 31 solar panels, four 220-volt outlets, fire-retardant composite roofing, abundant parking, mature landscaping, and two separate APN parcels offering privacy, flexibility, and future potential. No HOA. The versatile layout also provides multiple private living spaces with income potential, making the property ideal for multigenerational living, guests, creative workspaces, or rental opportunities. Located in highly desirable South San Clemente and approximately a 10-minute walk from Riviera Beach and world-class surf, this estate offers extraordinary scale, privacy, ocean views, and one of the most compelling price-per-square-foot opportunities among coastal properties west of Interstate 5. More than a home, this is a legacy architectural property blending creativity, space, natural beauty, and the quintessential San Clemente lifestyle.
