Behind private gates, this exceptional estate offers resort-inspired living in one of Corona del Mar's most coveted neighborhoods. A lush tropical setting welcomes you home with mature landscaping, cascading waterfalls, a sparkling pool and spa, generous outdoor entertaining spaces, and an additional private spa and fire pit overlooking the spectacular backdrop.
