Among the most significant oceanfront estates along Southern California's coastline, this nearly three-acre compound occupies a commanding position atop a bluff within the guard-gated enclave of Cotton Point Estates. Set directly above private shoreline and moments from the legendary waves of Trestles, the property offers sweeping panoramic views, exceptional privacy, and a rare connection to one of the region's most celebrated coastal landscapes. Originally designed in 2007 by noted architect James Glover, the residence reflects timeless Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean architecture, thoughtfully oriented to capture ocean, sky, and sunset from every principal room. Following its acquisition, the estate underwent an extensive, multi-year transformation that elevated the property through comprehensive architectural renovation, reimagined landscaping, advanced audio-visual integration, pool reconstruction, refined kitchen and bath improvements, custom plasterwork, infrastructure and systems upgrades, and a fully realized interior design program. The result is a residence that preserves architectural character while delivering the scale, comfort, and finish expected of a world-class coastal home. Spanning approximately 13,000 square feet, the compound offers seven bedrooms, seven full baths, and three half baths across expansive formal and informal living environments, complemented by a wine cellar, a prep kitchen, and a separate three-bedroom guest residence. Privately set within its own wing, the primary suite enjoys beautiful views, while every major space opens to gardens, terraces, or uninterrupted ocean horizon. The grounds unfold across sweeping lawns, secluded courtyards, and layered terraces leading to roughly 450 feet of ocean frontage and a striking 55-foot pool oriented toward uninterrupted coastal views. An event lawn and nine-car garage complete an estate designed equally for private retreat and large-scale entertaining. Defined by scale, privacy, architectural pedigree, and extraordinary reinvestment within one of the coast's most protected oceanfront enclaves, this offering is a truly rare Southern California estate.
