Del Mar is now home to what could be conceived as the pinnacle of oceanfront opulence. The newly listed Ocean House Del Mar, a sprawling estate that stakes its claim as the most expensive listing in the city at $75 million, presents a unique blend of durability and design reminiscent of a superyacht's sophistication. Rande Turner, a global real estate advisor, highlighted the intentionality behind the construction, as reported by FOX 5 San Diego. Turner noted, "This house was intentionally built like a superyacht with luxurious marine-grade materials." "The goal is to spend your time using it, not maintaining it."
With over 30,000 square feet of space, the property embodies a serene and luxurious atmosphere. It stands at 2920 Camino Del Mar and carries the legacy of a California family's heritage since the 1930s. The home, Ocean House Del Mar, was completed last month and includes seven and a half bedrooms and bathrooms. It features carefully curated amenities to cater to entertainment and private retreats, with an impressive 75-foot-wide beachfront patio. "This is more than just a residence; it is an opportunity to steward a piece of Del Mar's history," said Turner in a post on the @randeturnercollective Instagram.
Designed by award-winning architect William Hefner in collaboration with interior designers Jeffry Weisman and Bryn Brugioni, the property doesn't shy away from luxury. In a movement towards more sustainable and enduring luxury real estate, it features a DaVinci Shake roof and a new seawall to protect against the coastal elements. The estate is a culmination of 12 years of meticulous planning and construction, with the final product embodying both flexibility for social gatherings and privacy for discreet living.
Entertainment and relaxation go hand-in-hand within this palatial estate. It includes an expansive lawn for gatherings, a pool and spa, an interior courtyard with a ping-pong pavilion, a grill area, and a fire pit against dramatic ocean views. Transforming the property into not just a home but a multi-generational retreat, the estate also houses two guest quarters, assuring Turner's vision of providing "privacy, family connection and relaxation," as revealed in the report by FOX 5 San Diego. "Ocean House is about lifestyle per square foot," Turner elaborated.
Ocean House stands out in the real estate market as one of 83 oceanfront properties along Del Mar's pristine coastline. Turner is confident in the demand for such properties in the North County coastal market in 2025. The architecture and amenities promise a retreat space that actively invites the enjoyment of the coastal lifestyle yet also offers a sanctuary from it. Those interested in the property should know it is marked as a legacy property. The significance is that once sold, it may not re-enter the market for generations.
