Welcome to an extraordinary opportunity to lease a custom estate in the exclusive, guard-gated oceanfront enclave of Ritz Cove—one of Southern California’s most sought-after private beach communities. Perfectly positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this stunning residence captures panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and offers direct, private access to Salt Creek Beach, just steps away. Built over three meticulous years, this architectural masterpiece boasts approx. 7,200 square feet of luxury living space on a 9,000+ sqft lot, featuring 5 en-suite bedrooms and 6.5 baths. A dramatic entry with a sweeping staircase, domed skylight, and crystal chandelier opens to immediate, unobstructed ocean vistas that set the tone for the entire home. The main level is designed for both grand-scale entertaining and relaxed coastal living, complete with an ocean-view living room, formal dining area, family room, “poker room,” and an exquisite library/study wrapped in rich woodwork, with its own private bath. A gourmet kitchen with a butler’s pantry, sunken wet bar, and top-tier appliances enhances the home’s sophisticated charm. Upstairs, all bedrooms feature en-suite baths and walk-in closets. The ocean-facing primary suite is a private sanctuary with a cozy sitting area, fireplace, view terrace, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like marble bath. Additional highlights include a private spa, exterior beach shower, elevator, four-zone HVAC, and an oversized three-car garage ideal for collectors. As a resident of Ritz Cove, you’ll enjoy 24-hour guarded security, a serene and private coastal setting, and direct gated access to the beach.
