Nestled behind private gates and down a long, tree-lined drive sits an enchanting seaside estate, aptly named “Arcadia by the Sea.” With a magnificent view of Laguna Beach’s Secret Cove, 31643 Coast Highway presents a special opportunity to own one of the more unique homes on the California coast – a modern interpretation of a classic estate residence, carefully crafted in collaboration between renowned antiquarian and owner Lee Stanton, and award-winning architect Mark Teale.

The goal – to create an environment that transports to a different time and place, with a level of detail and finish that typically comes with careful stewardship across many years. The result – a marvelously warm beachside retreat that reveals delightful surprises at every turn; from nuanced views of both the cove and whitewater below to the picturesque Mediterranean-like hills, to cozy alcoves, grand fireplaces, and beautifully tiled terraces that provide a momentary escape from the ordinary.

The home reveals itself in layers, as noted in an Architectural Digest article about the estate – from the 1840s Parisian staircase leading to the guest loft, to the stunning fireplace surrounds gathered through the owner’s travels, to the paneled walls of the dining room inspired by majestic 19th-century English doors. For all the nods to English manor homes, this is also a modern residence with contemporary conveniences. The main level includes a grand parlor and dining room with views through paned windows to the beach and Pacific Ocean, the primary ‘sleeping den’ with sitting area and sumptuous bath, the kitchen with a wonderful blend of vintage charm and present-day amenities, a warmly paneled office/bedroom, and a most elegant guest bath.

The upper level is entirely devoted to the generously sized guest loft and bath, with the walls finished in Belgian linen and uninterrupted coastal views. The lower level holds a guest suite with a second parlor, bedroom, guest kitchen, and bedroom suite, along with the three-car garage. Privacy, often compromised in oceanfront homes, is abundant – descending along the long private drive seems to transport one back in time as neighbors drop from view, and the house comes into view. This is a home designed to cocoon the owner and shield them from the outside world. Rarely do properties like this become available – truly, Arcadia at Secret Cove fulfills its lofty name as a utopian retreat that brings simple elegance to beach living.
