**MAJOR PRICE IMPROVEMENT - NOW OFFERED AT $4,990,000** A truly rare South San Clemente coastal estate opportunity - **over 1.8 acres remarkably close to the beach**. Properties with this much land, privacy, parking, ocean view potential, and proximity to the water are almost impossible to find west of Interstate 5. Now relaunched with a fresh luxury coastal exterior paint transformation in crisp white with light gray trim, this one-of-a-kind architectural estate offers approximately **6,952 sq. ft.**, **7 bedrooms**, **5 bathrooms**, and a flexible multi-level layout unlike anything else on the market. Designed by award-winning architect **John McInnes** and previously featured in **Orange County Homes & Gardens**, the home showcases dramatic cedar-and-glass architecture, soaring ceilings, walls of glass, skylights, multiple balconies, and expansive indoor-outdoor living areas that capture ocean breezes, natural light, and coastal views. The property features a chef's kitchen, generous entertaining spaces, wet bar, private elevator, dramatic indoor spa, and a secluded primary suite near a peaceful stream and waterfall feature. One of the estate's signature spaces is the private ocean-view observatory with wet bar - ideal for sunset views, entertaining, stargazing, or enjoying the coastline. Additional highlights include **31 leased solar panels**, four **220-volt outlets** for electric vehicles, fire-retardant composite roofing, mature landscaping, and two separate APN parcels: **060-210-026 and 060-210-031**. No HOA. The versatile layout offers multiple private living areas, making it ideal for multigenerational living, guests, creative workspaces, rental possibilities, or a buyer seeking a private coastal compound. Located approximately a **10-minute walk to Riviera Beach** and world-class surf, this property delivers what few coastal homes can: **acreage, privacy, ocean views, parking, flexibility, and beach proximity**. With the exterior transformation completed and the price now improved to **$4,990,000**, this is one of San Clemente's most compelling opportunities for a buyer who understands how rare it is to own **1.8+ acres this close to the Pacific Ocean**.
