Rarely does a property of this scale, location, and entitlement flexibility become available in coastal Orange County. The estate is anchored by a Spanish Mission Revival 21,500 sq. ft. multi-use building featuring three residences with nine bedrooms and eight bathrooms, office and conference facilities, and garages with parking for up to sixteen cars.
