The Story Behind
Extraordinary Pacific Palisades Ocean Estate on Triple Lot
This remarkable compound represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity, spanning nearly 1.4 acres of prime Pacific Palisades real estate with commanding ocean views. The meticulously designed estate features two distinct residences—a 7,000-square-foot main house and a 5,000-square-foot guest house—both recently completed in a comprehensive 2025 renovation that seamlessly blends traditional architecture with contemporary luxury amenities.
Anchored by timeless cedar shake architecture and traditional design principles, this extraordinary compound showcases the finest in luxury residential craftsmanship. The main residence unfolds through a dramatic two-story foyer adorned with rich wainscoting and gleaming hardwood floors, establishing an immediate sense of grandeur that permeates throughout the home.
The formal living spaces demonstrate exceptional attention to detail, with the paneled living room featuring custom built-in bookcases and rich wood millwork that creates an atmosphere of refined sophistication. The formal dining room, anchored by a limestone fireplace, flows seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen—a culinary masterpiece centered around a substantial island with honed countertops and professional-grade appliances. The adjacent breakfast room, warmed by its own limestone fireplace, connects effortlessly to the family room and covered loggias, creating an ideal environment for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining.
The primary suite functions as a private sanctuary, featuring a fireplace and dedicated seating area, while the spa-like marble-clad en-suite showcases a freestanding soaking tub positioned before picture windows that frame the Pacific horizon. Custom millwork and built-in desks throughout the additional bedrooms demonstrate the property's commitment to both luxury and functionality.
Below, the entertainment level reveals a walnut-paneled home theater with curved seating arrangements, complemented by a temperature-controlled wine cellar and fully equipped office space. The separate 4,000-square-foot guest house mirrors the main residence's architectural integrity while providing complete privacy through its own gated entrance, offering flexible arrangements for extended family, staff quarters, or professional offices.
The outdoor spaces are equally impressive, featuring rolling emerald lawns that stretch toward the infinity-edge pool, which appears to merge seamlessly with the Pacific Ocean beyond. A regulation tennis court and dedicated pickleball court provide recreational opportunities, while multiple covered loggias and outdoor seating areas take full advantage of the property's commanding ocean views and Southern California's enviable climate.
Pacific Palisades represents one of Los Angeles' most coveted residential enclaves, where the Santa Monica Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean in a dramatic convergence of natural beauty and sophisticated living. This prestigious community has long attracted discerning residents seeking privacy, natural beauty, and proximity to both the cultural richness of Los Angeles and the recreational opportunities of the coast.
The neighborhood's character is defined by its unique geography—perched on bluffs overlooking the Pacific, Pacific Palisades offers some of the most spectacular ocean views in Southern California. The community's winding streets, many lined with mature eucalyptus and oak trees, create a sense of seclusion while remaining just minutes from world-class dining, shopping, and entertainment venues.
Spoleto Drive itself represents the pinnacle of Palisades living, known for its ultra-quiet residential character and exceptional privacy. The street's elevation provides residents with unobstructed ocean views while maintaining easy access to the Pacific Coast Highway and the broader Los Angeles metropolitan area.
The lifestyle afforded by this location is unparalleled, with the renowned Riviera Country Club nearby, offering championship golf and tennis facilities. The Palisades Village, a recent addition to the community, provides upscale shopping and dining options within walking distance, while maintaining the area's small-town charm. For outdoor enthusiasts, the extensive trail system of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area provides hiking and equestrian opportunities literally at one's doorstep.
Educational excellence is another hallmark of the area, with highly regarded public schools and prestigious private institutions nearby. The community's proximity to Malibu offers access to some of California's most beautiful beaches, while downtown Santa Monica and Beverly Hills remain easily accessible for business and cultural pursuits.
The area's Mediterranean climate ensures year-round outdoor living, with cooling ocean breezes moderating temperatures even during summer months. This exceptional location has historically attracted entertainment industry leaders, business executives, and international residents who value both privacy and proximity to Los Angeles' many attractions. The combination of natural beauty, architectural sophistication, and lifestyle amenities makes Pacific Palisades one of the most enduringly desirable residential communities on the West Coast.
