Investment Opportunity: Income-Producing Duplex in Coveted Laguna Canyon

A rare chance to acquire a turnkey, income-producing duplex on an oversized lot in one of Coastal Orange County’s most supply-constrained submarkets. Tucked into Laguna Canyon — a neighborhood defined by scarcity, character, and consistent rental demand — this property offers dual income streams, strong tenant appeal, and long-term appreciation upside in a market where new inventory is virtually nonexistent.

Unit A — Upper | 3 Bed | 2 Bath The primary income driver. Spacious living room, full kitchen, dedicated office, inside laundry, and central A/C — features that command premium rents in Laguna’s tight rental pool. Mature landscaping and canyon setting deliver the lifestyle factor today’s renters pay up for.

Unit B — Lower | 1 Bed | 1 Bath + Office A flexible, light-filled unit ideal for long-term tenancy, executive rental, or owner occupancy under a house-hack strategy. The added office space broadens the renter profile to include remote professionals — a growing demand segment in coastal OC.

The Land Generous lot with lush, tropical landscaping, a natural dry riverbed, and mature, high-yielding avocado trees — adding both curb appeal and tangible long-term value. Privacy, mature foliage, and canyon character are difficult to replicate and consistently support above-market rents.
