The home
About 629 Balboa Avenue
A rare opportunity to own one of the best buildable, panoramic ocean-view homesites in all of Laguna Beach. This exclusive property includes fully approved plans by renowned designer and custom home builder Reza Dadashi of Rezidential Development Inc., providing a seamless path to create a one-of-a-kind modern residence. Framed by breathtaking 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and Laguna’s iconic coastline, this lot offers more than just a home—it offers a lifestyle. Nestled amid hundreds of acres of protected, unspoiled natural beauty, it provides a true sense of sanctuary. Here, sea-scented breezes and endless blue skies awaken the senses, while sweeping ocean vistas inspire and rejuvenate. With approximately 9,386 square feet and a flat pad with gently sloping topography, the site is ideally suited for a spectacular custom residence. The design review–approved plans envision an approximately 4,822 square-foot modern home with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, designed to maximize the views while offering spacious interiors and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Its street-to-street layout allows for flexible design possibilities, including expansive patios, terraces, and outdoor living spaces that fully embrace the surrounding landscape. Imagine walls of glass framing ever-changing panoramas—morning light glistening on sailboat-dotted waters, vibrant sunsets painting the horizon, and twinkling coastal lights as evening falls.
Located in the prestigious Portafina neighborhood, the property is close to top-rated schools, Moulton Meadows Park, Laguna’s white sand beaches, secluded coves, and the vibrant village scene. World-class destinations such as the Montage Resort, Ritz-Carlton, Dana Point Harbor, Newport Beach, the Sawdust Festival, and the Pageant of the Masters are all just minutes away. This is more than a homesite—it’s a ready-to-build canvas designed by a top-tier builder, offering the ultimate opportunity to capture the very essence of Laguna Beach living.
