The Sand Castle is La Jolla's most iconic waterfront jewel and includes one of the only on-property private beaches in California. A stunning homage to the finest manors on the French Riviera, the inspired and meticulous elegance of the Main House, Guest Residence and expansive grounds provides magnificent living while honoring extraordinary unobstructed views of the Pacific and coastline to the west, north and south. European and bespoke interiors and exteriors perfectly meld with modern conveniences, deftly designed and curated by global interior design icon, Timothy Corrigan. A tone-on-tone palette mirrors the sea and sky while continually orienting the visitor towards the home's dramatic ocean views. No expense was spared in creating The Sand Castle. Multistory, manicured hedges cocoon the property, and upon entry through the magical courtyard and grand front hall, one is called to the water. Private and secure, luxurious and serene, The Sand Castle evokes the most sumptuous of grand hotels, with solid gold gilded rooms, a Thassos-tiled salt-water pool, extensive terraces and patios, an elevator, two marvelous cabanas, fitness center, spa, bespoke statues and chandeliers, firepit, boat bar, and a host of private spaces in which to observe the rolling waves and experience dramatic sunsets. The Sand Castle is truly one-of-a-kind and can never be replicated.
