A record-breaking real estate listing has emerged in Encinitas, as a bluff-top home with comprehensive ocean views enters the market at $24.9 million, making it the most expensive listing in the area. The property is located at 130 Neptune Avenue and is represented by Khaki Wennstrom of Compass as reported by the Robb Report. The luxurious residence boasts four bedrooms, seven-and-a-half baths, and spans 7,089 square feet above a secluded beach.
The detailing of the property's merits reveals that real estate developer Peter Kerserovich, the seller, acquired the land in 1997, a strategic move predating 2012 sea level rise regulations which have since imposed limitations on new coastal constructions; Kerserovich then devoted a decade beginning 2014 to meticulously cultivate the home, which sits approximately 65 feet above the sea level, "Our bluff features robust sandstone, which we meticulously hand irrigate to maintain stability and prevent erosion," Kerserovich told the Robb Report. The residence also promises high privacy and seclusion, is not visible from adjacent homes or public spaces, and includes private beach stairs that are compliant with Coastal Commission standards.
Additional attributes that signify opulence and state-of-the-art amenities of the estate comprise a sophisticated theater with a $200,000 microLED video wall, three Tesla Powerwalls, a commercial-grade elevator, gym, sauna, and a wine cellar; the architecture also features a suavely designed primary suite that opens onto a deck reminiscent of a superyacht's bow, detailed with polished Burmese teak wood, this description comes from the official listing.
The appeal of this residential masterpiece extends beyond its material luxuries, conveying an exclusive living experience complete with a private terrace that capitalizes on the scenic vistas of the Pacific Ocean and direct access to the beach from the property, "From this vantage point, you enjoy unobstructed views from La Jolla to Dana Point without seeing another house or even your own", expressed Kerserovich in the Robb Report.
