The Doheny Estate is a truly one-of-a-kind coastal compound in the heart of Capistrano Beach, blending timeless European-inspired architecture, extraordinary gardens and an incredibly versatile lifestyle opportunity just minutes from the beach. Set across lush, private grounds, the estate includes two separate residences that combined, offer four bedrooms, four baths and 4,406 square feet of living space. They are connected by expansive gardens and enchanting outdoor entertaining spaces that create the feeling of a private retreat. Whether hosting intimate dinner parties, large gatherings or weekend guests, the property was designed for indoor-outdoor living with meandering pathways, tranquil fountains, a koi pond, swimming pool, shaded seating areas, a cutting garden, a screened porch, an open-air summer house and multiple outdoor “rooms” surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping. The Folie (main residence), a two-bedroom/two-bath home built in striking Neo-Palladian/Gothic-inspired style, features soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, antique pine and terracotta floors, imported European doors and windows, leaded glass details, cedar closets and a sunny balcony off the primary suite overlooking the gardens. The kitchen was inspired by Monet’s famed kitchen in Giverny, while thoughtful spaces throughout the home create warmth, character and livability. The original Doheny Cottage, a two-bedroom/two-bath home that dates to 1925, offers additional guest accommodations with a kitchen, dining room, living room, and den. Together, the two homes create exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, guest quarters, creative spaces, private retreats or potential income opportunities. The gardens, originally designed by a renowned Hollywood landscape designer, unfold as a series of peaceful outdoor experiences filled with texture, sound and serenity. Despite the estate’s remarkable privacy, the property is ideally located close to beaches, dining, shopping and the coastal lifestyle that makes Capistrano Beach so desirable. The Dohey Estate was curated by a professional interior designer and collector, and its extensive collection can be purchased as part of the property. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Southern California’s most distinctive legacy properties – equally suited for everyday living, entertaining, creative inspiration or a private coastal escape.$6,995,000
