You can build a home. You cannot build this lot. On the bluff above the Back Bay in Dover Shores, 1542 Galaxy Drive is 18,321 square feet of land - approximately 93 feet wide and nearly 200 feet deep - with panoramic, unobstructed views across Upper Newport Bay to the bluffs and the Newport Center skyline. Here, the land is the luxury. What lies in the sightline is the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve: protected open space of water, wetlands, bluffs, and sky. Morning fog over the marsh, egrets along the shallows, golden evening light across the water - the everyday backdrop of life here. The land is where the story begins. The 1964 residence on it is an opportunity to reimagine the site, and a complete design vision has already been created by architect Rory Foubister, with interiors by Lindye Galloway and construction envisioned by Well Done Builders. That concept is conceived as a reveal. From the street, almost nothing - a low stone wall, olive trees, a screened gate. Inside, a courtyard opens to the sky around a mature olive tree. Beyond it, the house gives way to a wall of glass, pool and lawn, and the whole bay. Envisioned at approximately 8000 square feet - five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a gym and wellness center, a subterranean level with car turntable, and an ADU or executive office. The sequence is only possible because of the depth. Nearly 200 feet buys a courtyard at the heart of the plan, real separation between arrival, entertaining, and retreat, and outdoor rooms that work as rooms. For a buyer with a different vision, the opportunity is equally compelling. The value is not one set of plans. It is the scale, proportion, and setting of the land itself. Dover Shores is the quiet side of Newport - wide curving streets, mature landscaping, and a generation of new custom homes rising above the Back Bay. Launch a kayak at dawn, run the Back Bay Loop Trail from the edge of the neighborhood, and reach Newport Harbor, the beaches, Corona del Mar, and Fashion Island in minutes. Homes can be remodeled. Homes can be replaced. What cannot be recreated is the land beneath them, the scale around them, and a setting like this. APN 117-663-08. Existing residence built 1964. Plans and renderings are conceptual, subject to change and to governmental approvals. Buyer to independently verify all dimensions, square footage, views, development potential, permits, approvals, schools, and other details.

$3,695,000

Set on a generous 9,100+ square foot lot in coveted Dover Shores, this classic Newport Beach home features nearly 2,900 square feet of living space, which includes a ~750 SF living area above the garage (with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, living, dining, kitchen and semi-private entrance)—ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or income. In total it has 4 bedrooms (but could be modified to 6 bedrooms very easily!) and 3.5 bathrooms. The approach is all curb appeal: a sweeping circular drive, ivy-clad walls, black garage doors, and a second-story balcony that announces the home before you even step inside. The foyer opens onto warm travertine floors and high, light-filled volumes. Living and dining rooms flow together toward a wall of French doors that frame the pool and garden. A seating area, fireplace, and an easy connection to the kitchen make this the natural gathering core of the house. The kitchen is built for real use: a large island with dark counters, farmhouse sink, wood cabinetry, and stainless appliances, with sightlines into both the living room and the backyard. A paneled office with French doors to the side yard gives a quiet work-from-home option. Outside is the real lifestyle play. A slate patio wraps a beautiful pool, with a brick outdoor kitchen and grill, fire-pit seating, lounge chairs, and a dining table under a large cantilever umbrella. Tall hedges and mature trees keep it private. Dover Shores is the draw: resident-only private beaches on the Back Bay, trail access along Upper Newport Bay, Mariners Elementary nearby, and a short hop to 17th Street dining, Fashion Island, the harbor, and the coast. A rare combination of usable lot, flexible living area above the garage, indoor-outdoor flow, and one of Newport’s most livable and desirable neighborhoods.

Nestled in the highly sought-after Dover Shores neighborhood of Newport Beach, 1534 Santiago Drive is a rare offering where 1967 mid-century design meets the precision and performance of a 2025 rebuild—thoughtfully modernized while preserving the integrity of its original architecture. Originally designed by renowned architect Robert C. Peterson, this residence is a true “blast from the past,” reimagined for today’s lifestyle, blending timeless lines, natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor living with an extensive, no-expense-spared renovation. Behind its refined facade lies a home that has been comprehensively upgraded at every level—from new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and smart home integration to custom finishes and curated materials throughout. The result is a property that lives like new construction, yet retains the character and soul that simply cannot be replicated. Spanning approximately 2,900 square feet, the home now offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a loft, and generous storage, all thoughtfully reconfigured for modern living. Set on a 10,100 square foot lot, the outdoor experience is equally elevated, highlighted by a custom oversized spool designed for both relaxation and entertaining, along with curated landscaping and multiple gathering spaces. This is more than a home—it’s a trophy property, a one-of-one offering where architectural heritage and modern innovation converge. Opportunities like this are increasingly rare, as few homes maintain their original design integrity while being elevated to today’s standards with such care and detail.
