An extraordinary opportunity to build a legacy estate in one of La Jolla’s most coveted coastal enclaves. Located within Montoro, an exclusive gated cul-de-sac perched above La Jolla Shores, this approximately 17,545-square-foot (0.40-acre) homesite offers sweeping ocean views, exceptional privacy, and a rare combination of usable land and valuable development entitlements. Featuring an architectural vision by acclaimed designer Sebastian Mariscal, the property offers an exceptional foundation for a one of a kind coastal estate. Unlike many vacant parcels that require years of planning and approvals, this property comes with an approved Coastal Development Permit (CDP) and Site Development Permit (SDP). Grading plans have been approved and grading fees have been paid. The building permit has also been approved, with only the applicable fee payment and formal permit issuance remaining. These significant approvals represent substantial time, expense, and uncertainty already addressed, allowing a future owner to move closer to realizing their architectural vision without starting the entitlement process from scratch. Surrounded by some of La Jolla’s most prestigious estates, this exceptional property offers the opportunity to build a custom coastal residence in a private, elevated setting just moments from the beaches, dining, shopping, and lifestyle of La Jolla Shores. This is more than a parcel of land. It’s an opportunity to acquire a premier coastal homesite with a distinguished architectural vision and
