145 Emerald Bay, Laguna Beach, California 92651

EMERALD BAY | LAGUNA BEACH | Rebuilt from the ground up in 2007, this iconic Emerald Bay estate commands one of the community’s most privileged north-point positions, offering unobstructed, front-row views of Irvine Cove, Catalina Island, and spectacular Pacific sunsets. Spanning approximately 7,000 square feet, the residence features five spacious bedroom suites—each with its own bath and walk-in closet—along with two additional half baths.

Crafted for elevated coastal living, the home includes formal living and dining rooms, a chef’s kitchen connected to a relaxed family and dining area, and two private offices. The primary suite is an exceptional retreat with a spa-inspired bath, oversized walk-in shower, soaking tub, and dual walk-in closets.

Indoor and outdoor living blend effortlessly. A dramatic entry courtyard welcomes guests with a fireplace and alfresco dining area, while the main-level terrace showcases panoramic ocean vistas and a lounge warmed by a second outdoor fireplace. The lower level is designed for entertainment, featuring a private rear yard with an outdoor kitchen, built-in barbecue, dining space, heated spa, fire-pit seating, and a putting green—all framed by striking white-water views.

THE FUTURE

Approved architectural plans—cleared by both the Emerald Bay Community Association and the County of Orange—allow for a complete re-envisioning of the estate, including a stunning new infinity-edge pool and spa. Created by noted Laguna Beach architect Rory Foubister, the reimagined design embraces a sophisticated soft-contemporary style with refined finishes and modern coastal elegance.
