Palos Verdes Homes with Ocean Views

A stunning infinity pool over the Pacific in Palos Verdes Estates.

A home with a view is often a top priority for prospective buyers in Palos Verdes. From its vantage point high on a hill and geographically a peninsula with water on three sides, it's fairly easy to fulfill the view requirement. The next questions is, "What view do you prefer?" In my experience having an ocean view is the number one response. However, there are many variations of an ocean view in Palos Verdes.

The ocean views from Malaga Cove in Palos Verdes Estates often include not only ocean but city lights and mountains giving it a 24/7 view to enjoy. This Queen's Necklace view, as it is called by the locals, is highly desirable and can be absolutely breathtaking whether you're seeing it for the first time or after decades of enjoying it. The ocean view from Lunada Bay on the western side of Palos Verdes Estates offers a variety of ocean views as it includes up close views along the ocean bluffs of Paseo Del Mar and a more distant ocean view from the hills of upper Lunada Bay. It is not unusual for a view from Lunada Bay to include a view of Catalina Island or the Santa Monica Mountains. Monte Malaga neighborhood in Palos Verdes Estates also offers an arresting array of ocean views from its location high above Malaga Cove.

Rancho Palos Verdes offers a plethora of ocean view homes as three of its main arteries snake along the coastline as Palos Verdes Drive East becomes Palos Verdes Drive South and then morphs into Palos Verdes Drive West. As you meander along this stretch of road the ocean is never far from sight. There are homes along the ocean bluffs and homes up in the hills with amazing views of not only ocean but often Catalina Island and city lights. The eastern side of Rancho Palos Verdes enjoys the nightly show put on by the lights of Los Angeles Harbor and the blue lights of Vincent Thomas Bridge and Long Beach beyond. Mountains views are common, too.

Rolling Hills, the gated community near the top of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, is also home to a wide variety of ocean view properties. It is even possible to enjoy an ocean view from both the front and back of a few strategically placed Rolling Hills homes. Although Rolling Hills and Rolling Hills Estates are noted for being top equestrian locations that does not preclude properties also have amazing views.

Homes in every price range enjoy the views offered on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Whether you're shopping for a Palos Verdes luxury home or a coastal condo there are many view properties available in Palos Verdes.

Palos Verdes Luxury Homes with Views to Remember

Window to the Pacific - Malaga Cove home in Palos Verdes.

Tuesday's tour of new listings in Palos Verdes included a number of luxury homes with unforgettable views. Yes, the homes were "stand alone" fabulous, but the views were what captured the eye (and added value) to these stunning properties in Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes and Rolling Hills Estates.

The unique location of Palos Verdes, a hilly peninsula surrounded on three sides by water and one side with lower altitude land, lends itself to grand vistas of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island and all the glittering lights of the Los Angeles area and beyond. It's impossible to view property in Palos Verdes and not be struck by the number and variety of view homes for sale. Yesterday's new additions to the list were no exception.

Josh and I previewed six new listings ranging in price from $999,000 to $7,999,000 and the views included everything from deep canyons to Catalina Island, but the predominant view was the gorgeous Pacific Ocean. The window photo was taken from a home with a picture perfect view of the Queen's Necklace (ocean, mountains and city lights) which offers a 24-hour view as those lights sparkle all night long. Another property oozed curb appeal from the street with perfect landscaping and an architecturally interesting house. However, the show-stopper (and price justification) was visible the moment you entered the front door--endless ocean views with an infinity pool spilling over the edge was a view to remember. The home was lovely, but the focus was on the view with walls of windows, numerous balconies and patios to increase opportunities to enjoy the view. I wanted to linger, or maybe move in, and so will any buyer with a big view on their must have list.

A home with a view is easy to find in Palos Verdes, but if you would like a little help with your search we will be honored to assist.

Oceanfront Estates - Luxury coastal homes in Rancho Palos Verdes

Oceanfront Estates was developed by Capital Pacific Holdings at the turn of the century, from the very late 1990s to the early 2000s. The development company was from Orange County--synonymous with large homes on tiny lots, but in keeping with the locals love of the large lot, the developer broke the mold and built large homes on large lots at Oceanfront Estates.

The name of the development is not a misnomer. The ocean views are a sight to behold. The water is up close and personal. You can smell it, you can hear it and often feel the ocean mist on your face. Yet, you are far enough above it to be protected from rogue waves and winter storm surges. The cliffs and bluffs of Palos Verdes provide a wonderful buffer from the rise and fall of the ever-present tides.

True, the homes began life in Palos Verdes as look-alike production homes, but during the ensuing decade many are emerging with styles and designs quite unlike their next door neighbor. The landscaping is maturing giving better balance and beauty to an enclave of estate-size homes. The development no longer appears out-of-place in Palos Verdes. It has earned its place along the coveted coastal acreage of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

Take a Hike--Palos Verdes Lifestyle

Hiking along the southern coast of Palos Verdes.

I'll be the first to admit if you're in search of an active nightlife, Palos Verdes is not the place to find it.  However, despair not, as all you must do to find it is drop off "The Hill" and hug the coast.  Once you hit Pacific Coast Highway you'll find the beach cities awake and hopping.

On the other hand, if you're in need of a daily dose of peace and serenity--a little rejuvenation for the soul, I can think of few places better than settling down in one of the most striking, naturally beautiful places along the Southern California coastline.  Mother Nature was in a particularly creative and generous mood when she gave miles of coastline, towering cliffs and impressive hills to the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

Fortunately, the residents continue to take great care and pride in the land and location.  We have open space, miles of hiking trails and horse trails.  Our shopping options may be limited but the view are unlimited.  Whether you prefer the open ocean or the twinkling lights of Los Angeles, views encircle the Palos Verdes Peninsula and the one you choose is up to you.

Some people love the gym, but I prefer to do my sweating on the trails above the Pacific Ocean and along the edge of the sea with the water lapping at my feet, the salt air in my nostrils and the roar of the waves in my ear.  The natural beauty pleases my senses as I workout my body.  It's simply a wonderful treat for the eyes, body and soul.

Here's to more walks in 2014!  We'd be honored to be your agent when time to sell your Palos Verdes luxury home.
