Terrace View
It all started with a good day at the office. The way the wife tells it, her husband came home from work one day in 2006 in a particularly buoyant mood. The epitome of a self-made man, he had started as a box boy at a major supermarket chain, worked his way up to vice president in charge of its largest division, and then left to form his own sales and marketing company. Soon, with the help of his wife, the firm grew to employ 30,000 people. Now, having just sealed an especially big deal, he blurted out, "Do you want to move?" "No," was her quick reply, before she surprised herself by adding, "Unless it's on the water." He told her to go ahead and look.
The terrace, which is shielded by canopies of woven willow and canvas panels, overlooks Salt Creek Beach and the Pacific Ocean.
She is a native Californian, and he had moved west as a child. For 30 years they lived happily about a mile inland from Monarch Bay, in Laguna Niguel, a hilly town in California's Orange County. Still, the Pacific had always beckoned. When she started house hunting, it wasn't hard for her to find, if not her dream house, her dream location: a sheer bluff directly above Salt Creek Beach, a legendary surfing haven in nearby Dana Point.
The front steps are limestone, and the plantings include aeonium, lavender, and clipped mounds of westringia fruticosa and pittosporum.
Great Room
The view was jaw-dropping, which, in effect, was why the property and the gutted house on it were for sale in the first place: With scenery this stunning at stake, neighbors can get prickly about construction projects and preserving their own expensive views, and local review boards have been known to drag out the approval process in the hopes of wearing down would-be builders. That's exactly what had happened with this property. The exhausted owners finally surrendered and put the place on the market.
In the great room of a Dana Point, California, home, which was designed by Bob White of Forest Studio and decorated by M. Elle Design, the chandelier and wing chair upholstered in Belgian linen are by Lucca Studio, and the cocktail table and sofa in a Loro Piana linen are custom made; the walls and fireplace are of marmorino plaster, the painting is by Victor Hugo Zayas, the abaca-fiber rug is from FJ Hakimian, and the flooring is French white oak by Exquisite Surfaces.
