Vista al Mar, Estate of the Day
Filed under: Estates

Even some beachfront property in southern California is slow to move. One estate Vista al Mar in Dana Point, California, is headed for auction. The home is located in The Strand at Headlands, southern California's last and most exclusive beachfront community. The development has several tiers of oceanview homes, this one appears to be on one of the middle levels. The new home was once priced at over $15 million but will be auctioned off with an opening bid of just $7.5 million. The three-level estate was designed by architect Jon Eric Christner and has five bedrooms with elevator access to all three levels. The home has wood beam ceilings, arched passages and reclaimed Maltese stone floors. Rooms include a gourmet kitchen, theater room, theater room, game lounge, massage room with a sauna and spa bath, exercise room and wine cellar. The home's master suite includes a sitting room with a walk-in closet and a private terrace. The two-level patio has an infinity spa with a cascading waterfall into the larger salt water pool below. Bids on the home will be accepted until March 11.
