Set against spectacular panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Catalina Island and Southern California’s coastline, this extraordinary custom estate is one of the most coveted in Dana Point’s exclusive guard-gated enclave of The Strand at Headlands. Embraced by a rare peninsula homesite spanning nearly .58 acres with only one direct neighbor, the elevated property is prized for its beauty, privacy and size. Mature landscaping and custom hardscaping combine to complement timeless architecture that is both classic and modern, reflecting the keen eye of architect Chris Light. Interiors extend approximately 13,777 square feet and focus a spotlight on the sought-after interior design talents of Hawk & Co. Numerous Juliet balconies, intimate decks, sprawling wraparound terraces and slideaway walls of glass pocket doors emphasize the rewards of indoor/outdoor living, while nine ensuite bedrooms and 12 baths ensure comfort for all. An awe-inspiring multi-level foyer with floating spiral staircase and floor-to-ceiling windows makes an appropriately memorable first impression and leads to sophisticated magazine-worthy living spaces that include a great room with linear fireplace and media center, a formal dining room seating 12 or more, a fully appointed home office, and a chef-inspired kitchen with two islands, a hidden catering kitchen, new white countertops, and pro-level appliances. A testament to understated modern elegance, the primary suite invites serene ocean views into a private sanctuary with a spa-caliber bath and expansive wardrobe space. Underwater views of the estate’s pool distinguish the lower level, which opens to a private yard and features a game room, theater, second kitchen, and subterranean parking for 8 vehicles. An elevator leads to every level of the residence, where rich materials include wood flooring, custom marble, and custom millwork. Grounds are expansive and enrich entertaining with a massive vanishing-edge pool with Baja shelf, a soothing spa, secret grotto, and a sunken seating area with built-in open-air fireplace. Opportunities of this magnitude are rare at The Strand, which presents residents with exclusive access to Strand Beach, a private waterfront beach club, miles of coastal trails and 70 acres of open space. Neighboring The Ritz- Carlton resort, the prestigious community is moments from top-tier public and private schools, premium golf courses, Dana Point Harbor, Laguna Beach and San Clemente.
