About this property
Sited at the very end of North Portola, this custom home sits at the end of a shared drive which leads to a large privately gated paver-lined motor-court. A large steel and glass entry door opens towards the ocean, offering a substantial view of The Pacific upon entry. A great room with soaring ceilings is lined with bleached oak flooring across the open concept living spaces with some of the very best views in Lower Three Arch Bay from nearly everywhere in the home. A chefs kitchen offers an oversized kitchen island with large built-in breakfast area, natural stone countertops, a stainless steel appliance suite with six burner stove, a walk-in pantry, an ice maker, and dramatic vistas up the coastline. Two of the four bedroom suites are on the main level, each offering a private bathroom. One of the two offers ocean views and separate access from a private patio with waterfall fountain. Two additional bedrooms are located on the second level, each accessed by separate private stairways. The primary suite includes a view terrace as well as a spa-like bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub illuminated by an overhead skylight, a walk-in shower, and a large walk-in closet. A secondary private suite accessed by a window-lined architectural stairway offers two separate terraces, including one with ocean views, as well as a walk-in closet. A Pebbletec pool & spa with limestone tiled pool deck on the view-side of the home offers outstanding sun exposure and has unmatched views of the Laguna Beach Coastline, Catalina Island, year-round sunsets, and beyond.

MLS values are reported for this listing, not prior sales. Observation dates show when our importer saw an asking price, not when the MLS changed it. Up to 24 observations are retained; changes between refreshes may be missed. This is not a complete price or sales history.
Property taxes

Calculated 2026-11-14 21:08 UTC. Source: this website's authorized MLS inventory. Import progress, freshness rules and coverage affect the figures. Medians exclude missing/invalid values; price per sq ft is the median of individual listing ratios. Price observations are limited to the last 24 per listing and may miss changes between refreshes. This is not a complete 30-day market report, historical inventory trend, appreciation measure, or sold-price analysis.
Payment calculator
Explore a fixed-rate loan scenario. The price comes from this listing; a 20% down payment and 30-year term are starting assumptions, not requirements. Enter your own interest rate—not APR—and estimated costs.
Illustration only—not a rate quote, preapproval, lending offer or affordability determination. Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
