An oceanfront prominence unlike any other, this 7,681SF architectural statement rises above the sand in the prestigious guard-gated enclave of Ritz Cove. A structural marvel far ahead of its time, the residence showcases engineering and craftsmanship designed to endure for generations.
Beneath the home, a spotless subterranean 6-Car Gallery lined with polished Italian Terrazzo flooring sets the stage for a striking reveal: a glass wall peering directly into the depths of the pool, leading to a private media lounge, wine storage, and glass-walled gym, steam and sauna. Built with uncompromising integrity, the estate rests on approx. 75 subterranean caissons deep into bedrock, with all-concrete structural elements fully waterproofed and subflooring on every level layered in concrete—an extraordinary foundation for both longevity and quiet luxury.
Spanning three levels serviced by elevator, the floor plan includes an entry-level dual-primary suite and expansive living spaces that frame commanding views of sand, surf, whitewater and endless horizons. Walls of glass invite in the ocean’s ever-changing drama, with Dana Point’s Headlands anchoring the north and south vistas of this prized riviera.
The terraced backyard delivers private, immediate access to Salt Creek Beach, while Ritz Cove’s gates open to a lifestyle unmatched—centered between two world-class resorts. Walk to the Monarch Beach Resort & Golf Links, the Ritz-Carlton, or the exclusive Monarch Bay Beach Club, with fine dining, boutique shopping, and the soon-to-be-reimagined Dana Point Harbor all just moments away.
A rare fusion of bold design, structural resilience, and timeless architectural vision, this residence stands as one of the greatest oceanfront offerings to grace the Southern California coast in years—simply irreplaceable by today’s standards.
