Introducing the largest permit-ready home site currently available in coveted Bluebird Canyon, Laguna Beach. This exceptional coastal property is a legally established SB9-approved lot split, providing added certainty and protection regarding land use and subdivision rights. Development here is by-right. Under SB9, the project is reviewed ministerially against the city's objective zoning standards rather than through discretionary design review, so no Design Review Board approval is required. In one of the most restrictive coastal entitlement environments in Southern California, where projects can spend years in hearings and redesigns with no guaranteed outcome, that status is worth a great deal. This is not raw land. Building permits are approved and available for issuance; the site has been cleared, and the offering includes a complete permitted plan set along with the associated process management. The site is shovel-ready. Horst Architects, a renowned local firm known for thoughtful, site-responsive coastal design, designed the residence, and the design received the 2025 AIA National New Residential Design Award. Plans call for approximately 4,393 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, four and a half baths, an office, a 525-square-foot garage, and an elevated ocean-view deck, with expansive indoor-outdoor living areas, an integrated water feature, an in-ground spa, and a carefully considered arrival and circulation experience. The expansive 12,363-square-foot lot captures panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island from a quiet ridgeline setting between upper Bluebird Canyon and Morningside Drive. Elevation, privacy, low-traffic surroundings, and multiple access routes toward PCH enhance daily livability and emergency egress. Plans also include an optional accessory dwelling unit, subject to a separate approval and permitting process. Planned features include solar with battery backup, EV charging, heat pump systems, advanced fire-safety design, and modern smart-home infrastructure, subject to the buyer's final specifications. Well-suited for an end-user or design-forward buyer seeking certainty, speed to construction, and architectural excellence in one of Laguna Beach's most desirable non-HOA hillside settings. A rare opportunity to bring an award-winning architectural vision to life, with the hardest part already settled.
