Agent Remarks: 8 Rockledge Road is an oceanfront masterpiece, a crown jewel of Laguna Beach, unmatched in beauty and atmosphere. Sprawling across a generous 10,400 sq.ft.+ parcel, this Spanish-revival estate is rich in history. Originally designed by celebrated architect Garrett Van Pelt in 1930, the property was painstakingly renovated over a three-year period, ending in July 2024. Modern elegance meets ultimate luxury with spectacular white-water views from nearly every room. A massive 50-foot balcony overlooks Rockledge’s beach, perfect for viewing sunsets and dolphins. The home comes fully furnished (Italian furniture by Cantoni). This is a Mills Act-approved property, which recognizes the historic significance and provides property tax relief. Current annual taxes are only $25,477. The latest design is paired with the best of natural materials, such as stunning Calacatta marble and 12-inch wide European white oak flooring throughout. The gourmet kitchen features a spectacular island with room for six, Leitch cabinets (Germany), and Miele appliances, including a 48-inch gas range, separate fridge and freezer, speed oven, and coffeemaker. The home theater, arguably the best in Orange County, turns cinema into reality with a 4K laser projector, 176-inch screen, 18 speakers, and 26,000 watts custom-made amplifiers. There are 3 Sony 77-inch QD-OLED TVs and 18 speakers throughout the house programmed and controlled by Savant's latest system. This 5,000 square foot trophy home is a smart home and allows you to effortlessly control your lifestyle with your fingertips. Other features include a 3-car garage, wine cellar, outdoor shower, 6-zone Mitsubishi high efficiency HVAC system, state-of-the art security, alarm system with 4K cameras, and an elevator that accesses all three floors. Outside, a generously sized and beautifully landscaped backyard stands between you and the ocean. The City of Laguna Beach Design Review Board recently approved an infinity edge pool, hot tub, and fire pit. The large backyard, infinity edge pool, and private beach access are a rare combination for an oceanfront property in Laguna Beach. The house meets new building codes and structural requirements, and the structure has extensive use of steel beams and columns. It features all-new electrical and plumbing. The entire house has spray foam insulation, making it extremely quiet, well insulated, and pest/termite resistant.

    Powerful in its design and historic significance, this Mills Act oceanfront residence set on an approximately 10,400+ square foot parcel presents sprawling seaside living. Perfectly positioned away from the street within the coveted Rockledge enclave, this exemplary Spanish-revival style estate originally designed by architect Garret Van Pelt enjoys a setting of unrivaled beauty and privacy with idyllic grounds sheltered by mature landscaping. True to Mediterranean-style living, the residence is introduced by a gated courtyard revealing the home’s explosive head-on views of the Pacific. While generous in size, the home emits a sense of intimacy and romance with classic design elements including arched windows and passages, wood-framed French doors, beamed ceilings, and fireplaces finished in smooth stucco. Although built more than 9 decades ago, the home has been refit with modern amenities such as an elevator, library, billiard’s room, collector’s wine room and award-worthy home theater designed by Theos Kalomirakis, complete with a concession stand and lobby. With white-water views from nearly every room and spacious grounds not often seen along the coastline, this enchanting residence promises a life of splendor. Complete with City and Coastal Commissioner approved plans by Morris Skenderian, Mills Act tax incentives and access to the beach below via a gated staircase exclusive to Rockledge community residents are additional highlights.

    Located in one of Orange County's most prestigious locations, this oceanfront estate provides a fabulous opportunity to reimagine an exquisite Villa with explosive head-on views of the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy the privacy of the Rockledge community, with private stairs to the beach below. A beautiful gated courtyard with fountain opens to the property - originally designed by architect Garrett Van Pelt, where large-scale rooms, walls of french doors and ocean vistas await. The grounds offer mature landscaping, lush lawns and a multitude of sitting areas that overlook the ocean below. Very rarely does a property of this caliber, potential and location come to market. Current owners have approvals from City of Laguna Beach and Coastal Commission for a remodel that includes expansion of oceanside deck, garage and an interior remodel. A Mills Act application has also been submitted.
