Introducing 1560 Bluebird Canyon Drive, a truly shovel-ready coastal homesite on a quiet Laguna Beach ridgeline, with fully approved plans by David M. Parker, AIA. This is a legally established SB9 lot split, giving a buyer added certainty around land use and subdivision rights. Development here is by-right under SB9 and exempt from discretionary Design Review, so there's no Design Review Board process to wait on. Permits are approved and ready to issue, and the site is already cleared with rough grading complete, so a buyer can move directly into construction rather than years of Laguna's coastal approval process. The plans call for approximately 2,442 square feet in the main residence, plus a nearly 1,000-square-foot ADU with its own master suite, sitting room, two baths, and a bedroom or office, roughly 3,442 square feet combined. The main level offers three bedrooms and three baths, including a bonus room set up as an alt-master suite just off a private bridge. Combined with the ADU, the home offers up to five bedrooms and five baths total. Add a 535-square-foot two-car garage and about 779 square feet of decks, on an 8,582-square-foot lot with no HOA. The home steps down the hillside in warm, horizontal wood-clad layers under curved floating roofs, opening west to the Pacific through walls of glass. A great room and living room flow together on the main level alongside the primary suite, a second bedroom, and the bonus/alt-master suite, each opening to its own deck or patio. Above, the ADU opens to its own private deck. The ADU alone is worth noting: a genuine second home well suited to multi-generational living, guests, rental income, or a private work-from-home wing. A private elevator connects all three levels. An on-grade spa is tucked into the hillside, with living green-roof terraces and fire-forward construction, including an approved Alternative Methods and Materials report and full sprinklers. Next door at 1550 Bluebird Canyon Drive sits the Kyoto House by Horst Architects, a 2025 AIA National New Residential Design Award recipient. The two homes were drawn in conjunction on neighboring lots. Take the Tokyo House on its own, build both lots together, or set up two homes for one family across generations. High on the ridge, private and low-traffic, no HOA, with quick routes to PCH and Main Beach. Well-suited for developers, investors, end-users, and multi-generational buyers ready to build without years of the process.

This iconic oceanfront property represents the opportunity to redefine an entire piece of prime coastline. Comprising approximately 4 acres across eleven contiguous parcels and commanding nearly 320 feet of sandy shoreline, this extraordinary Laguna Beach collection represents one of the most significant residential development opportunities ever offered along the Southern California coast. Positioned above a secluded cove at the southernmost tip of Thousand Steps Beach with panoramic views spanning the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and the dramatic Laguna shoreline, the property combines unparalleled scale, irreplaceable location, and exceptional development potential in a manner rarely encountered and unlikely to be replicated. The true value of this offering lies not in the existing improvements, but in the opportunity to create a landmark coastal residential development capable of establishing a new benchmark for luxury living in one of California's most supply-constrained and globally sought-after markets. With an enviable trove of parcels, substantial ocean frontage, and advanced planning considerations already investigated, the property presents a unique opportunity to develop a transformative family compound or oceanfront community consisting of custom luxury residences, ultra-premium condominiums, or a thoughtfully integrated mixed residential vision designed to maximize both value and long-term market significance. While the property's highest and best use may be realized through its development potential, the estate also offers the rare alternative of creating one of the most significant multigenerational oceanfront compounds on the West Coast; an extraordinary private retreat capable of spanning generations and serving as a lasting family legacy. Further enhancing the investment profile, three newly renovated residences currently occupy the property and may provide interim rental income or executive housing accommodations while development plans, entitlements, and approvals are finalized; helping to offset holding and maintenance costs throughout the planning process. Opportunities of this magnitude are extraordinarily rare. A coastal assemblage of this scale, frontage, and development potential represents more than a real estate acquisition; it is an opportunity to shape the future of one of the most coveted stretches of coastline in Southern California and to create a project destined to become a defining landmark for generations to come.
