The home

About 211 Emerald Bay

With a rare .34 acres/14,810 SF of flat land with Pacific Ocean and Catalina sunset views, 211 Emerald Bay sits on one of the most rare and exclusive lots in Emerald Bay. Approved plans are included for a beautiful remodel and expansion to the classic Santa Barbara style residence designed by renowned architect Chris Light.

Emerald Bay is a gated, exclusive community with it's own private beach. The expanded remodeled residence would feature 5 bedrooms with 4.5 baths at approximately 3,876 SF with a 3 car garage and overlooking a large private swimming pool and spa with views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. On the other side of the home, the property features a private yard with one of the largest fenced lawns in Emerald Bay. With only one connected neighbor, the property sits like a private island within the exclusive community of Emerald Bay and features over 20 beautiful, mature palm trees and feels like a tropical oasis.

This unique property sits on a flat and pleasantly wide street in Emerald Bay, and originally totaled 3 aggregate lots. The owner spent over a year and a half to have the lot line adjusted with the County to make it 2 very valuable lots with various living and development options.

The property includes the approved plan for the remodel and expansion of the current home, while maintaining the expansive private grounds. This elusive "unicorn property" has unlimited options for the creative buyer to explore.
