1) 4525 Dean Martin Dr, #2503 — $12,800,000

2 BD • 3 BA • 8,017 SF • Panorama Towers Penthouse

A one-of-a-kind, art-driven penthouse rising above the Las Vegas Strip. Think wraparound Sky Deck, pneumatic elevator, Swarovski chandelier, and a hand-painted dance floor—plus 24/7 security and resort-level amenities. If we could import it to Coastal OC, we would.

2) 339 Via Lido Soud, Newport Beach — $11,595,000

3) 245 Crescent Bay Drive, Laguna Beach — $19,995,000

4 BD • 5 BA • 6,908 SF • Iconic Crescent Bay Estate

Magnificently situated on the prized northwestern point of Crescent Bay, Chateau du Soleil overlooks the Pacific with views immortalized in art for more than a century. Anchored by expansive lawns and gardens—rare for oceanfront properties—this estate offers serenity, privacy, and history in equal measure.

Inside, soaring two-story windows frame epic ocean views, while flexible-use rooms and 6,908 square feet of space allow for multiple configurations. Three oversized garage bays, substantial interior scale, and a forward coastal location make this a property nearly impossible to replicate today.

4) 71 Ritz Cove Drive, Dana Point — $18,800,000

5 BD • 7 BA • 9,048 SF • Oceanfront Ritz Cove

This estate sits inside the exclusive guard-gated enclave of Ritz Cove. It pairs timeless architecture with sweeping views of Catalina, city lights, and the Pacific.

Highlights include a chef’s kitchen with quartzite counters and Wolf appliances, formal living and dining, and multiple primary suites. Outside, a private pool, expansive terraces, and resort-level amenities complete the setting.

In addition, the home is steps from the Ritz-Carlton and Waldorf Astoria. Few luxury homes for sale in Orange County 2025 match this combination of elegance and location.
