Description
Introducing Villa Azul, an extraordinary ocean-view development opportunity located in the prestigious hills of Laguna Beach. This fully entitled luxury project includes approved architectural plans by world-renowned Horst Architects, with construction currently underway. Set above the coastline, the property captures expansive west-facing views of the Pacific Ocean and is ideally situated just minutes from Southern California’s most iconic beaches and hidden coves. The approved design features an approximately 3,000 square foot main residence and a 700 square foot detached Casita, privately tucked beneath a dramatic 42-foot infinity-edge lap pool that overlooks the ocean. The main level includes a formal entry, open-concept chef’s kitchen, dining and living areas, and a two-car garage, all flowing seamlessly to a covered outdoor entertaining terrace. The lower level hosts the private sleeping quarters, including a resort-caliber primary suite with panoramic ocean views, a spa-inspired bath, and a generous walk-in closet. Each room on this level opens directly to the private pool terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The detached Casita offers its own living and sleeping quarters and opens into a serene, landscaped garden setting—ideal for guest use or as a private retreat. Designed with a timeless and natural material palette including ocean silver travertine, marine-grade cedar, exposed concrete, glass, and steel, Villa Azul reflects a warm modern aesthetic that harmonizes with the surrounding coastal terrain. The architectural vision emphasizes clean lines, expansive floor-to-ceiling glass, and fluid transitions to outdoor terraces and spa-style amenities. This is a rare opportunity to realize a signature residence that blends luxury, design, and coastal living in one of Laguna Beach’s most desirable enclaves.
