PERCHED WITH A REGAL AIR ABOVE LA JOLLA SHORES BEACH, THIS ESTATE IS NOT MERELY A HOME; IT IS A DECLARATION. FROM ITS VANTAGE POINT, A CINEMATIC PANORAMA UNFOLDSA SWEEPING CANVAS OF THE PACIFIC, THE ICONIC SCRIPPS PIER, AND THE RUGGED, SUNDRENCHED COVES THAT DEFINE THIS STRETCH OF CALIFORNIA. IT IS A RARE BLEND OF SCALE AND SOPHISTICATION, A FORTRESS OF PRIVACY FOR THOSE WHO TRULY NEED IT, WRAPPED IN AN AURA OF EFFORTLESS SOPHISTICATION.
Discreetly tucked away on a sprawling parcel within the ultra-exclusive, gated enclave of Montoro, this 8,927-square-foot residence has undergone a complete and total transformation. The result is a study in refined luxury, where every angle and surface has been reimagined for a seamless flow between a meticulously curated interior and the natural splendor outside. Walls of glass rise to meet the ceiling, dissolving the boundary between the home’s exquisite design and the breathtaking coastal drama that plays out beyond its doors.
The primary wing is a true escape, with a fireplace, dual sitting rooms, and a wraparound deck for private moments of reflection. Two boutique-style walk-in closets provide more than enough space for a discerning wardrobe, while the dual spa-inspired baths—each with a steam shower and one with a luxurious spa tub—offer a ritual of pampering. Downstairs, three more bedrooms, an office, a gym with a sauna, and a media lounge with a wet bar provide a discreet and lavish world of their own.
Outside, the property reveals a sanctuary of secluded beauty. An expansive patio with a pool and spa invites long afternoons of leisure, an outdoor kitchen ensures effortless entertaining, and multiple ocean-facing decks on each level o‹er new perspectives. This is an estate built for the modern titan—complete with a Crestron system for total control and access to the rarefied amenities of Montoro, all just moments from the village, the university, and the waves of the Pacific.
This is a house designed for a life of boundless comfort and impeccable taste. Four bedrooms, four full and four half baths, and a suite of amenities—from an executive office and a state-of-the-art gym to a media room, a sommelier’s dream wine cellar, and a subterranean garage for six vehicles—cater to a life without compromise. The vast living areas and a chef’s kitchen are not just for daily life; they are for grand occasions, opening onto a spectacular terrace perfect for al fresco dinners under a setting sun.
