786 Avenida Salvador, San Clemente, CA 92672

Property listed by Ryan Schramm Real Estate, Ryan Schramm [email protected]

$4,295,000

Perched atop one of the highest vantage points in all of San Clemente, this property evokes a sense of serenity and scale that is increasingly difficult to find. Sweeping views stretch from Catalina Island to Dana Point Harbor and miles of coastline, while also capturing the Dana Point Headlands, city… Read More lights, and distant mountain ranges, including Saddleback and Mount Baldy. The result is a dynamic perspective that blends ocean, islands, hills, and skyline—a combination rarely found on a single homesite. Set on a uniquely positioned lot with only one truly adjacent neighbor, the property offers exceptional privacy. Hillsides and natural slopes surround the residence, leaving sightlines completely unobstructed. No rooftops, no trees, and no visual barriers—just open horizon in nearly every direction. Originally built in 1985 as a custom home, the property features elements that would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to replicate today. The large pool and spa are positioned to take full advantage of the view, while a detached casita sits on caissons along the slope—a unique and highly valuable feature that current building constraints would make challenging to reproduce. These components, combined with the elevated setting, create a layout rarely achievable today. The existing residence spans just over 4,600 square feet and includes a three-car garage, offering substantial size and flexibility for future vision. The home has remained largely untouched over the years, preserving its original character. For the next owner, this presents an opportunity to reimagine and modernize a property that already offers features that are difficult to duplicate. Outdoor spaces fully embrace the setting, with expansive hardscape, pool and spa areas, and multiple vantage points designed to capture the wide views. Whether enjoying the coastal backdrop during the day or the city lights in the evening, the property delivers a constantly changing perspective. Despite its elevated and private setting, the location remains remarkably convenient—approximately 0.1 miles to the Ridgeline Trailhead, five minutes to downtown San Clemente, and roughly eight minutes to the San Clemente Pier. It is the combination of each of these factors that makes this property truly stand apart. Opportunities to acquire a homesite with this level of presence and potential are rare, offering a chance to create something special in one of San Clemente’s most prominent coastal settings.
