Introducing the largest permit-ready homesite currently available in coveted Bluebird Canyon, Laguna Beach. This exceptional coastal property is a legally established SB9-approved lot split, providing added certainty and protection regarding land use and subdivision rights. The offering includes a Design Review Board–approved set of architectural plans for a striking modern single-family residence, designed by Horst Architects, a renowned local firm known for thoughtful, site-responsive coastal design.
The approved plans include approximately 4,393 square feet of living space, a 525-square-foot garage, and an elevated ocean-view deck. The expansive 12,363-square-foot lot captures panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island from a quiet ridgeline setting between upper Bluebird Canyon and Morningside Drive. This offering is not raw land. It includes the permit-ready building plans and associated process management for a 4-bedroom, 4-1/2 bath residence with an office, expansive indoor-outdoor living areas, an integrated water feature, an in-ground spa, and a carefully considered arrival and circulation experience.
The home’s design received the 2025 AIA National New Residential Design Award, underscoring the project's architectural quality and design integrity. Fully approved plans materially reduce time and project risk, allowing a buyer to move directly to permitting and construction rather than navigating years of hearings and redesigns. Final building department clearance is anticipated in Summer 2026. Architectural plans also include an optional accessory dwelling unit (subject to a separate approval and permitting process).
The site offers a rare combination of elevation, privacy, low-traffic surroundings, and multiple access routes toward PCH, enhancing both daily livability and emergency egress considerations. Planned features include solar with battery backup, EV charging, heat pump systems, advanced fire-safety design, and modern smart-home infrastructure, subject to the buyer's final specifications. Well-suited for an end-user or design-forward buyer seeking certainty, speed to construction, and architectural excellence in one of Laguna Beach’s most desirable non-HOA hillside settings.
A rare opportunity to bring an award-winning architectural vision to life with approvals already secured and a streamlined path to construction.
1550 Bluebird Canyon is a Land property located in Laguna Beach, California, featuring a 0.284 acre lot, MLS #OC26028205.
