South Laguna Bluffs, Laguna Beach
32229 Coast Hwy, Laguna Beach
A blufftop holding of just over four acres along Coast Highway in South Laguna, with panoramic views. Offered at $95,000,000.
The Property
Four acres on the bluff in South Laguna
32229 Coast Hwy sits along Coast Highway in South Laguna, in the subdivision the MLS records as South Laguna Bluffs; the listing’s own aerial photography outlines the property between the highway and the beach. The record lists the lot as a bluff, sloped down and landscaped, with a view field recording ocean, panoramic, city lights, trees and woods, and water. It runs 4.0766 acres.
The record dates construction to 1930 and lists 4,900 square feet, a figure the MLS marks as estimated, across two stories. It lists ten bedrooms, six of them on the main level, and eight bathrooms, three full and five half. The record lists an attached garage and five garage spaces, and there is no land lease.
The Offering
What the listing describes
The listing agent presents this as far more than a single house. The listing describes approximately four acres assembled from eleven contiguous parcels, with nearly 320 feet of sandy shoreline below, positioned above a secluded cove at the southern end of Thousand Steps Beach. It frames the offering as a development opportunity for custom residences or condominiums, or alternatively as a private compound spanning generations, and states that three renovated residences occupy the property today and could produce interim income while plans are pursued.
Those descriptions are the listing agent’s own. The parcel count, the shoreline footage, and any development potential are exactly the kind of claims a buyer at this level verifies independently, and we would insist on that verification as part of representing you. The structured MLS record beneath the marketing is what the stat band above and the features below report.
Note on the photo tour: four of the eleven images in the MLS set are the listing’s own site plans and concept renderings. They show proposals, not built structures, and are labeled as such below.
