About 5 Greens Bluff
Just six properties occupy this premiere elevation on sought-after Greens Bluff – affording breathtaking, unobstructed panoramic views of the Pacific and sparkling city lights – these Crystal Cove Watermark estates are seldomly available for purchase. With Spanish Revival nuances, the Santa Barbara-style architecture is timeless, and a perfect complement to the California coastline; the home’s mature Mediterranean garden; courtyards; and expansive pool terrace overlooking the coast. Handsomely constructed, an assortment of delightful design elements and fine finishes – including hardwoods, stones, finish carpentry, designer lighting and fixtures, and an abundance of oversized windows and glass doors were employed to elegantly enhance the structure, and optimize light and views in every possible space. Encompassing five bedrooms – all with ensuite baths; two guest baths; and myriad formal and informal areas for relaxation and entertaining – including a wine room with temperature-controlled wine ‘wall’; large media rooms on both levels; and a separate guest casita, the over 5,200 square feet of living space is thoughtfully cultivated for modern comfort, and entertaining at any scale. The beautiful and verdant exterior with glittering swimming pool and spa, further distinguishes this property boasting privacy, while enjoying spectacular views – free from rooftops or other impediments. This optimally located 11,725 square-foot parcel is exclusive, secluded, and benefits not only from the 24-hour guard gated security of Crystal Cove – but its ideal proximity to uncompromising lifestyle opportunities and the region’s finest amenities. A truly exceptional offering.
