The true feeling and spirit of old Laguna lives on - in the Cypress Compound. Privacy, architectural excellence, and untouched natural splendor converge on maturely landscaped coastal acreage to create a legacy estate. Perched above Thousand Steps Beach, this singular oceanfront compound has been mindfully renovated, with all three structures retaining their original historic footprints. The irreplaceable Chris Abel-designed main residence, anchored by a Monterey Cypress, rests on a bluff 70 feet above the surf, offering seclusion and uninterrupted coastline vistas. This single bedroom architectural gem consists of a spacious living salon, a kitchen overlooking the sand, and a sizable deck for all-season enjoyment. Two fully-equipped bungalows serve as a well-appointed extension of the primary quarters. The upper features a one-bedroom apartment while the lower structure offers a two-bedroom flat on the top level and a one-bedroom accommodation with a large multipurpose living room below, all with individual kitchens. The pristine grounds have been consciously landscaped with native plants and mature trees, creating an unspoiled retreat. The estate’s amenities are truly remarkable. An exclusive double-gated staircase with an observation deck leads to a roped-off, 15 ft deep privately owned beach area which extends along the oceanfront property line. Thoughtful consideration was given to not overbuilding this incredible parcel yet it does not lack incredible modern improvements: a 45+ ft long infinity edge pool with first-row views of the Pacific was added in recent years. Adjacent to it, a state-of-the art outdoor kitchen and open air cabana create a perfect setting for high-level entertaining. Those seeking more active recreation will also enjoy the quarter-sized basketball court. Beyond its boundaries, this enclave offers a coveted location near some of the most prestigious resorts in Orange County: the Montage, Ritz Carlton and St.Regis are all merely miles away.

Set front row in Irvine Cove—Laguna Beach’s most exclusive and under-the-radar oceanfront community—2526 Riviera Drive is a rare architectural estate with panoramic views and total privacy. Designed by Leason Pomeroy, the home opens to the Pacific with walls of glass and a horizon-level infinity pool, blurring the line between indoors and out. Rich materials, custom built-ins, and sculptural elements elevate every space, while refined details like a Crestron automation system and an olive burl breakfast nook—with a pop-up TV and a vertical structure that continues elegantly to the level below—reflect the depth of design. The lower level offers a private lounge, game area, guest space, and flexible living—all connected by a custom floating staircase and elevator. An oversized garage completes the home’s rare blend of form, function, and front-row living. Homes in Irvine Cove rarely become available. Properties like this—almost never.

Perched atop a cliff in the prestigious enclave of Emerald Bay, this extraordinary estate, among merely three with direct private access to the waters below at Irvine Cove, offers boundless vistas of the ocean, Catalina Island, Palos Verdes and roaring whitewater just beneath you. Designed with intention to capitalize on both, the ever-changing views & privacy from neighbors, this residence occupies one of the most expansive lots within Emerald Bay as well as the Coast with nearly 100’ of frontage. Multiple terraces, mature landscaping, and a cove-facing hot tub were meticulously envisioned to maximize the natural slopes and endless views of crashing waves. A spectacular towering cypress greets you as you enter the estate while sea lions, dolphins, ospreys, yachts, and more entertain. A soft contemporary design intersects with functionality, resulting in inviting interiors that lend themselves to everyday living and entertaining. The different wings add privacy for family and guests. Soaring ceilings create voluminous spaces throughout the residence. Walls of glass opening to the terraces bring the Pacific Ocean and beyond indoors and it feels as if you’re sitting on top of the water. The muted palette of natural materials such as wood and limestone, curated to not compete with the coastal beauty, creates a soothing environment. Grand in scale, the main areas of the property as well as all bedrooms face outwards towards the multiple water-facing terraces. The owners’ suite spans nearly an entire level of the home, creating a private retreat with a spectacular view balcony. The rarity of this vastness while designed to optimize privacy from neighbors of this oceanfront estate cannot be overstated.
