For the first time in nearly six decades, this iconic Laguna Beach estate, steeped in history and charm, graces the market. Known as the Heil Ryder Residence, named after its original owner who commissioned its creation, this Mediterranean Revival masterpiece stands proudly on over 0.6 acres of prime North Laguna Beach real estate. Perched on an elevated site, the home offers breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the coastline, the sparkling Pacific Ocean, and the distant silhouette of Catalina Island. A grand, tree-lined driveway leads through private gates to a motor court, where the stately residence reveals itself in all its timeless elegance. Inside, the home’s classic proportions and thoughtful layout create a harmonious blend of grandeur and livability. Sunlight pours through expansive windows, framing the panoramic views and infusing the home with warmth. The residence features two spacious living rooms, each with its own fireplace, formal and informal dining areas, a cozy family room, four main bedrooms (plus two additional guest bedrooms), two kitchens, and a serene master suite complete with an ocean-view veranda, a sitting area, a fireplace, and a generously sized dressing room. Original architectural details have been lovingly preserved, including oak hardwood floors, handcrafted wrought iron fixtures, intricately carved beams, stained glass accents, leaded windows, and sparkling crystal light fixtures. These elements, combined with the home’s sprawling yet intimate layout, create a sense of timeless sophistication. Outside, the property is a true oasis. Mature gardens, lush with citrus trees, pines, roses, eucalyptus, and exotic succulents, envelop the home in natural beauty. Stone and brick pathways wind through the grounds, leading to a secluded courtyard pool with stunning ocean views. Multiple terraces and scenic overlooks provide serene spaces for relaxation and reflection, while a covered loggia and expansive brick terrace offer the perfect setting for grand-scale entertaining. For a century, this estate has served as a sanctuary, a place where history, art, and nature converge. Now, a new steward has the rare opportunity to honor its legacy while reimagining its future, ensuring this storied property continues to inspire for generations to come.
