A Once-in-a-Generation Oceanview Estate Perched high above the iconic coastline of Laguna Beach, 2516 Temple Hills Drive is a rare legacy estate offering unrivaled privacy, timeless Mediterranean design, and commanding Pacific Ocean views?all set on a magnificent 3.18-acre gated parcel, one of the largest residential properties in Laguna Beach. From the moment you ascend the private, tree-lined driveway, a world of serenity unfolds. Sea breezes, golden coastal light, and uninterrupted vistas surround you, creating a sense of stillness and escape. Behind the gate lies a custom estate designed by renowned architect Mark Singer, where Santa Barbara?inspired architecture is seamlessly paired with modern California luxury. Spanning over 5,500 square feet, the 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home offers open-concept living, expansive entertaining areas, and panoramic ocean and canyon views from nearly every room. Walls of glass flood the interiors with natural light, blurring the line between indoors and out. A dramatic great room with soaring ceilings, fireplace, and ocean-facing decks sets the tone for grand-scale gatherings or intimate evenings under the stars. The chef's kitchen is equal parts functional and elegant, featuring a generous island, sleek countertops, and a charming breakfast nook that opens to a light-filled family room. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with ocean views, spa-inspired bathroom, walk-in closet, and direct access to a private terrace. Each additional en suite bedroom offers privacy and comfort for guests or family. A spacious ocean-view office and a versatile bonus room (ideal for a gym, studio, or media space) provide flexibility for any lifestyle. But it's the grounds that elevate this estate into something truly extraordinary. Carved into the lush hillside are custom walking trails, meditation decks, outdoor yoga and wellness zones, and wide-open spaces rarely seen in coastal Southern California. The 3.18-acre lot offers a level of privacy, possibility, and natural beauty almost unheard of in Laguna Beach?with room to expand, add gardens, or even plant a private vineyard. Just minutes from downtown Laguna, world-class beaches, art galleries, and restaurants, this is more than a home?it's a private sanctuary, a design-forward retreat, and a rare opportunity to own one of the most captivating and expansive estates on the California coast.
