Discover a luxurious sanctuary where ocean views and bespoke appointments unite behind the guarded entry gates of Dana Point’s
exclusive Ritz Cove enclave. Located at the end of a serene cul-de-sac, this custom estate redefines coastal living with rich
European-influenced architecture, magnificent craftsmanship and exceptional privacy. Crowned by a rooftop deck with panoramic Pacific
Ocean, Catalina, sunset, coast and city-light views, the impeccably maintained residence is embraced by an exquisite homesite extending
nearly 16,739 square feet. Indoors, the opulent villa reveals a stunning double-height rotunda entry with domed ceiling, glass and
wrought-iron entry doors, clerestory windows, and a sweeping circular staircase with custom wrought-iron railing. Entertain formally in a
fireplace-warmed living room and spacious formal dining room, or host casual affairs in a great room with fireplace, custom built-ins and an
impressive walk-behind wet bar. A breakfast room and lounge with a dumbwaiter that goes to the rooftop deck and secondary spiral
staircase opens to a chef-caliber kitchen with custom white cabinetry, large island, built-in coffee station, 48″ Sub-Zero refrigerator, and
six-burner Viking range with pot filler. Approximately 7,200 square feet, the expansive estate showcases a variety of stunning marble
stonework, including Marmot Belgia Calacatta in the kitchen and Crema Marfil flooring. Five ensuite bedrooms and eight baths include a
main-level suite with private patio and second-floor suites with balconies and walk-in closets. The sumptuous primary suite features two
walk-in closets with custom boutique-style cabinetry. The primary suite is further embellished with a sunny balcony, sitting area, two
fireplaces, a coffee bar with sink and refrigerator, three vanities, a freestanding soaking tub and multi-head steam shower. Enjoy an upstairs
bonus room, custom home theater, an office, large laundry room with dual washer and dryer sets, and an attached three-car garage with
abundant storage. Manicured landscaping complements grounds that display a resort-style pool with spa and fountains, an outdoor kitchen
with new Hestan grill, a recently planted 20-year-old olive tree, and a long, gated driveway. Ritz Cove offers direct private access to Salt
Creek Beach and is moments from The Ritz-Carlton, Monarch Beach Golf Links, top private and public schools, Dana Point Harbor, and
shopping and dining in the Lantern District.
