Description

A rare jewel of the California coast, Casa Hermosa is more than a home—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to steward an irreplaceable piece of Doheny history. Built in 1929 and masterfully restored, this Spanish Colonial Revival masterpiece sits proudly on a coveted double lot in one of Dana Point’s most premier beach-close locations. As a registered historic landmark with Mills Act tax benefits, no HOA, and no Mello-Roos, it offers a blend of exclusivity, charm, and financial advantage rarely found along the shoreline. Behind its private gates, you’ll discover a world where architectural artistry meets modern sophistication. The white stucco façade, red clay tile roof, arched corridors, and hand-carved woodwork speak to nearly a century of heritage. Inside, gracious living spaces include two primary en suites (one upstairs, one main level), a grand family room, elegant library with poker room, chef’s kitchen with professional appliances, and original staircase leading to three additional bedrooms. Sun-drenched morning rooms, Palladian windows, and terracotta floors create an atmosphere of timeless romance. The grounds are just as captivating: a hand-stained terracotta motor court, two private courtyards for intimate gatherings, a detached pool house with vintage speakeasy-style lounge, exterior wine cellar, and two-car garage. Potential ADU/JADU opportunities await city approval. Whether envisioned as a private coastal retreat, a showpiece primary residence, or an heirloom to pass through generations, Casa Hermosa stands as a rare bridge between California’s storied past and its most luxurious present.
