Laguna Beach House features not only the main building and two guests properties, it also has a lighthouse.
Ever dreamed of having your own lighthouse? This historic oceanfront property, which is considered a treasured landmark along the Laguna Beach coastline, comes with one. The property was originally owned by the filmmaker Edward H. Griffith, and it overlooks a private cove. Along with the main house and lighthouse, which was designed as a personal viewing tower, there are two guest cottages.
In addition to the property’s celebrated lighthouse, the compound encompasses three separate living structures: two guest cottages and a nautical-style main house with reclaimed finishes including custom millwork, cage elevator, porthole windows, and a ship’s staircase. The main house was inspired by love of the sea with porthole windows and a ship’s staircase. The same owner’s deep love for the sea and cruises prompted their extensive use of teak wood, porthole windows, and other nautical appointments throughout the estate.
Gracefully situated above a private cove and completely immersed in nature, the magnificent setting includes cobblestone paths that wind through the grounds, an oceanfront terrace spanning the width of the property, and an awe-inspiring lighthouse complete with viewing room and bathroom. As for the guest suite, it looks like the owners extracted a boat’s cabin to create it. A private stairway leads down to the sand and one of few swimming pools in Laguna Beach built into the cliffside that is refilled daily by ocean tides.
The estate belonged to a film director and his wife, who was an actress, and its design is inspired by love for the sea.
The bedrooms looks like out of a movie, with much teak wood and grey and light blue linens and upholstery.
