Represented by The Aaronson Group: 183 Monarch Bay Drive: A Single-Level Estate on One of the Enclave’s Largest Lots

The Aaronson Group Luxury Coastal Real Estate - OC       Monarch Bay | Dana Point  

183 Monarch Bay Drive: A Single-Level Estate on One of the Enclave’s Largest Lots

There are roughly 230 homes behind the gates of Monarch Bay. Only a handful sit on a full third of an acre, and fewer still do it on a single level, at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac, with the hills of Three Arch Bay filling the western horizon. 183 Monarch Bay Drive is one of them.

Offered at $11,995,000, the estate spans 4,800 square feet of living space across one floor, with four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a detached casita, and grounds that read more like a private compound than a suburban lot. The 0.35-acre parcel is among the largest in…

Represented by The Aaronson Group: One of the Few Places in Laguna Beach You Can Actually Live on the Sand

Laguna Sands

One of the Few Places in Laguna Beach You Can Actually Live on the Sand

Drive South Coast Highway between the Village and Aliso Beach and you pass a long stretch of buildings that face the water. Very few of them sit on it. The bluff does most of the work along this coast, which is why so much of Laguna’s oceanfront housing looks down at the beach from thirty or forty feet up rather than opening onto it.

Laguna Sands is one of the exceptions. The gated community sits directly on the sand next to the Surf & Sand Resort, and residents reach the beach without crossing a road or hunting for a public stairway. That single fact explains most of what makes the…

In Escrow · Orange, CA

Five Days on the Market. Then In Escrow.

909 N. Cleveland Street in Orange is officially in escrow, with an accepted offer just five days after coming to market. The result did not happen by accident. It happened because the right strategy met the right presentation at the right price.

There is a second part to this story worth telling: the seller came to The Aaronson Group after watching how quickly we sold another home nearby.

Price Improvement - Mission Viejo

New Price at 28265 Las Casas: Remodeled Single-Level Living in Casta del Sol, Now $998,000

The seller of 28265 Las Casas has approved a price improvement. This remodeled single-level residence inside the guard-gated 55+ community of Casta del Sol in Mission Viejo is now offered at $998,000.

The move is strategic, not reactive. A home priced above $1,000,000 simply does not appear for the large pool of buyers who cap their search at seven figures. At $998,000, this property now surfaces in every search where those buyers are actively looking, and it does so as one of the most extensively renovated single-level homes available inside the…

20 Monarch Bay Drive: A Guard-Gated Ocean View Estate Above the Sand

Behind the gates of Monarch Bay, one of the few guard-gated communities on the Orange County coast with its own private beach club, 20 Monarch Bay Drive occupies a position that does most of the talking. The view runs from whitewater surf and open sand across the Dana Point Headlands, the Ritz-Carlton and Monarch Links Golf Course, and holds through sunset into city lights.

Completed in 2015, the 3,849-square-foot residence sits on a 9,775-square-foot lot with four bedrooms and three and a half baths. The interiors were designed around an organic, sophisticated palette: smooth…
