Inspired by California’s iconic coastal towns—from La Jolla to Santa Barbara—17 Pacific Ridge Place was designed to embody timeless architecture rooted in European influences from Italy, France, and Spain. Rather than follow passing trends, the vision drew from architectural traditions with lasting resonance—resulting in a refined interpretation of California living. A tribute to coastal life, the estate blends the rarified ambiance of a private resort with comfort—set within The Strand at Headlands, Dana Point’s most coveted guard-gated beachfront community. Completed in 2017, this incomparable residence stuns with breathtaking whitewater views of the Pacific Ocean, dramatic coastline, sunsets, and Palos Verdes. Tucked along a quiet cul-de-sac, the home exudes stately elegance while keeping its many features discreetly out of view—creating a haven of private, comfortable living. Approximately 6,272 square feet, the residence features four en suite bedrooms and five-and-one-half baths, including a two-story guest house that makes it possible to enjoy two distinct one-bedroom suites, or one complete two-bedroom, two-bath hideaway joined by a staircase within its turret. A gallery-style entrance leads to the main home’s living spaces, including a great room that opens to the central courtyard and an ocean-view loggia, and a dining room that flows to the courtyard through an entire wall of fold-away glass doors. The ocean-view kitchen displays an island, nook, secondary catering kitchen, and top-of-the-line Sub-Zero, Wolf and Bosch appliances. Homeowners will appreciate the opulence of a main-level primary suite that overlooks the ocean, opens to the backyard, and showcases a freestanding tub and walk-in closet. Separate staircases lead to an ocean-view office or studio, and a massive media room with walk-in wet bar, bridge access to the casita, and a 110" screen with 4K projector. Nearly 14,700 square feet, the estate’s grounds enhance entertaining in a private central courtyard, and a backyard with covered loggia, outdoor kitchen and oversized spa. Residents here enjoy 24-hour guarded-gates, security patrol, and a 9,000-square foot beach club that Strand homeowners own exclusively. The private community borders the Dana Point Preserve, Harbor Point Conservation Park, and Hilltop Conservation Park for 70 acres of parks and picturesque trails.
