Nestled within the guard-gated community of Irvine Cove in Laguna Beach, this five-bedroom, five-bathroom home by architect Chris Light of Newport Beach’s C.J. Light Associates offers its lucky owners indoor-outdoor living at its finest. Keys to the roughly 4,200-square-foot abode afford residents access to the community’s private beach, with views of the Pacific found from nearly every room—including the primary bedroom, the gourmet chef’s kitchen and the expansive great room. Retractable pocket doors allow for seamless flow to the home’s interior courtyard, where a fire pit and lush landscaping offer space for both entertaining and relaxing. Inside, Calacatta Boghini marble shines in both the kitchen—which comes equipped with Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele appliances—and on the focal-point fireplace. Finally, a separate guesthouse provides ample space for both visitors and homeowners, or allows for the family’s teens to retreat to their own private escape while remaining on-property. $26,000,000, listed by Rex McKown with co-listing agent Marcy Weinstein, McKown Weinstein Associates/Compass, 949.689.5018, mwaluxury.com

Perched on Laguna Beach’s ocean-facing hills, this immaculate compound is unmatched thanks to its spacious lot. The 12,730-square-foot home rests on roughly 12 private acres, an unheard-of amount for the sought-after space that’s hard to come by in South Orange County. Exquisitely designed, five bedrooms and eight bathrooms are easily commanded thanks to the estate’s advanced home automation system, which includes a multimillion-dollar fire suppression system to put homeowners at ease during California’s dry seasons. Spacious fitness facilities and a state-of-the-art movie theater leave little reason to step outside of the well-appointed grounds, as does the resortlike infinity pool, an ideal place to take in Laguna Beach’s picturesque sunsets. California dreaming, indeed. $28,995,000, listed by Ginger Glass, Compass, 310.927.9307, gingerglass.com, compass.com; Sean Stanfield, Stanfield Real Estate Group/Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty, 949.244.9057, stanfieldrealestate.com, sothebysrealty.com

Crystal Cove continues to astound with its custom offerings, and 42 Offshore is just about as luxurious as it gets. Clocking in at nearly 8,000 square feet, the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom estate comes equipped with a Savant smart home automation system and a gated motor court for maximum privacy. Entertainers will love the sprawling gourmet kitchen—outfitted with a spacious center island, Wolf appliances and a secondary chef’s kitchen—and the walk-in, climate-controlled wine cellar that’s a conversation piece in itself. A first-floor primary suite allows for seclusion for the adults while little ones or visitors can enjoy their own spacious quarters upstairs thanks to a junior primary suite, two additional guest bedrooms, a media room and a lofted game room. And since sunny SoCal is all about embracing the great outdoors, the backyard answers the call with a pool, spa, cabana, built-in barbecue and dedicated bathroom. Let the bidding war begin. $16,995,000, listed by Joshua Altman, The Altman Brothers/Douglas Elliman, 323.610.0231, thealtmanbrothers.com, elliman.com; Rex McKown, McKown Weinstein Associates/Compass, 949.689.5018, mwaluxury.com
