About 48 Santa Clara

Panoramic ocean, Catalina Island and Dana Point Harbor views define this exceptional Pacific Shores residence, offered for sale for the first time by its original owner. Originally purchased as a former model home, 48 Santa Clara enjoys a private setting along a quiet, single-loaded cul-de-sac street, capturing expansive coastal views and spectacular sunsets from throughout the property.

The sought-after open floor plan features 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths and a 3-car garage, with ocean views enjoyed from many of the home’s primary living spaces, including the dining room, kitchen, breakfast nook and primary suite. The primary retreat opens to a private sitting deck—an ideal vantage point for taking in Catalina Island, Dana Point Harbor and the ever-changing colors of the Pacific. There is a 4th bedroom down stairs, just need to add a closet.

Mature landscaping surrounds the property, creating a wonderful sense of privacy both inside the home and throughout the outdoor spaces. The oversized backyard offers a thoughtful blend of hardscape and established softscape, with multiple areas for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing. A secluded side yard takes full advantage of the ocean and Catalina views and features a built-in Jacuzzi spa with an updated heater and filtration system.

Beyond the home, the location places you just moments from the heart of San Clemente, with Downtown’s charming boutiques, wine bars and restaurants, along with pristine beaches and world-class surfing, all within easy reach.

With its panoramic coastal views, private setting, single-loaded street and first-time-to-market history, 48 Santa Clara presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the quintessential San Clemente coastal lifestyle

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.40% (week of Oct 8, 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 San Clemente rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures. Full assumptions and disclosures.
