The pinnacle of lavish oceanfront living has been reached at this phenomenal French-inspired manor beyond the guarded gates of Dana Point’s, The Strand at Headlands in Monarch Beach. Custom-built for the owner, not simply designed on spec, the unparalleled estate crowns an elevated homesite of nearly 13,875 s.f. that affords extra privacy and uninterrupted ocean, Catalina Island and shoreline views. A gated courtyard entry and formal gardens provide a stately introduction, and the backyard is distinguished by a pool, spa, step-down sitting area with BBQ. a covered terrace and a bocce ball court. Indoors, attention to detail is unyielding throughout the three-level 6-bedroom, 10-bath floorplan, which extends approx. 9,005 s.f. and hosts a rotunda foyer with circular staircase , a study, 8-seat home theater, game room, wine storage, and a sumptuous ocean-view master suite with Juliet balconies  and a large marble-finished bath. Formal living and dining rooms lend themselves to refined entertaining, and the family room opens to a chef-caliber kitchen with white furniture-quality cabinetry, granite countertops, a large island with seating, a breakfast room with private fireplace-warmed patio, a walk-in pantry, and top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. Enjoy panoramic views from a rooftop patio with built-in BBQ bar, and protect collectible cars in a 2,717 s.f. subterranean garage with room for 7 vehicles.
