 4130 CALLE ISABELLA | SAN CLEMENTE
Among the most impressive oceanfront estates on the Southern California coast, this nearly three-acre, gated, seaside compound, represented by Santiago Arana, was masterfully designed for entertaining. Showcasing 450 feet of ocean frontage and views from every major room, French doors off opulent two-story entertaining spaces offer an effortless flow to incredible grounds beyond. With nearly 13,000 square feet of luxurious living space plus mature gardens, generous terraces, event lawns and a 55-foot oceanfront pool, you’ll never need to worry about narrowing down your guest list.
480 MISSION BAY BLVD #1405 | SAN FRANCISCO
We’re not sure what view we love more from this Mission Bay loft: the iconic Bay Bridge and its stunning evening lights or the prime vantage point for sold-out concerts and Giants games at AT&T Park. Either way, you’d be hard-pressed to find a friend—or forty—who wouldn’t want to spend an evening at this incredible home, where some of the city’s best views and entertainment are literally right outside the window. Represented by Rachel Swann, the residence is located within an amenity-rich building that features a world-class pool, club room, business center, theater and gym, all adding to its sophisticated city appeal.

Situated on a coastal bluff 100 feet above the Pacific Ocean, this iconic seaside compound, affectionately known as Villa Montara, offers a taste of Malibu, Big Sur and Pacific Coast Highway just moments from San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
