About 749 Marlin Drive

Perched high on a hill above Victoria Beach and Montage sits one of the last large vacant parcels Laguna Beach has to offer. 749 Marlin Drive presents the rare opportunity to own approximately 3.58 acres of land which is comprised of AP# 656-032-03 (Approximately 1.948 Acres) and AP# 656-032-20 (Approximately 1.635 Acres). AP# 656-032-03 is a vacant legal building site with access from the eastern end of Alisos Avenue. AP# 656-032-20 is a vacant lot adjacent to AP# 656-032-03 and is not a legal building site. Located in Portafina, one of Laguna’s most beautiful and central neighborhoods. Nestled into a tranquil setting at the eastern end of Alisos Avenue and extending to the cul de sac at the end of Marlin Drive, it is quite unique. The distance along the property line from Alisos Avenue to Marlin Drive is approximately 600 feet. Legal access to the building site is on Alisos Avenue. Please click on the Video/Virtual Tour for a more detailed view. You’ll enjoy incredible canyon and ocean views. Photos and video include an architectural concept rendering as the potential location of a home on the site. A short stroll to Moulton Meadows Park, plenty of outdoor activities await: hiking, mountain biking, children’s playgrounds, and sport courts for basketball and tennis. You’ll enjoy living just moments away from some of the area’s most exquisite restaurants just down the hill, including dining at the world-renowned Montage Laguna Beach and live music and entertainment at The Drake. Best of all, this lot sits just a short drive to some of the most breathtaking beaches in all of California. Surrounded by the very best Laguna Beach has to offer, this lot provides an opportunity to live the ultimate coastal lifestyle. Access on to the property is with permission only. Property is undeveloped. The property includes steep sections. Buyers and Agents entering on to the property do so at their own risk and therefore Seller is not held responsible.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 6.71% (week of Sep 3, 2026); your rate will differ. A loan this size is typically a jumbo loan, which prices differently. Tax and insurance are modelled, not billed amounts; tax uses a typical Laguna Beach rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures. Full assumptions and disclosures.
