An ultra luxurious eight-bedroom compound overlooking the Laguna Beach coastline has hit the market for the extraordinary price of $112 million—a sum that could see it become the most expensive home ever sold in Orange County.
Built in 1974, the 14,434-square-foot estate is currently owned by auto dealership owner David Wilson and his wife, Holly Wilson, who purchased it “for around $16 million in 2001,” according to The Wall Street Journal.
In the years since, the couple has transformed the estate into one of the most lavish properties on the West Coast, packing it with every amenity imaginable, before bringing it back to the market this month with a much higher price tag, one that has—unsurprisingly—propelled it to the top of the week’s most expensive homes list.
Highlights found throughout the landmark compound include more than an acre of direct beachfront access, a Fred Briggs-designed primary residence, more than 2,000 feet of oceanfront terraces, and resort-inspired amenities, including a pool and spa.
Other lavish details include a gourmet kitchen with professional-grade appliances, a sculptural spiral staircase with glass floor leading to a library appearing to float above the Pacific, and a primary retreat “unlike any other” with a rotating bed tucked away “beneath an operable ceiling that opens to the stars.”
The 1.02-acre property also has a private cinema, a wine cellar, a wellness retreat with fitness studio, sauna, and rock waterfall, a two-bedroom guest house, an eight-car garage with catering kitchen, a private amphitheater, and an ocean-facing championship tennis court.
More spectacular estates to make the week’s most expensive homes list include a three-story opulent retreat in Aspen, a 3.65-acre legacy compound in Nevada overlooking Lake Tahoe, and a Fort Lauderdale waterfront mansion currently under construction and slated for completion in 2027.
