It is an incredibly rare moment when history, beauty, opulence and an oceanfront setting come together at one time, presenting an opportunity that is truly provocative. Crowning a dramatic bluff between Moss Point and Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach, Villa Rockledge encompasses nearly 25,000 square feet of seaside splendor, complete with stairs leading to a private cove. Created nearly 100 years ago, the tranquil oasis reveals panoramic ocean, whitewater and sunset views, exquisitely landscaped grounds, a main house and 4 guest villas. Enjoy 12 bedrooms, 11 baths, and gated parking for 12-plus cars. Exquisite attention to detail is evident in stained-glass windows, a cigar loft, carved wood doors, wrought iron accents, stone fireplaces, window seats, hardwood floors and crystal chandeliers. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and showcased in a book about its creation and history, Villa Rockledge is Mills Act-approved, offering a significant tax break for maintaining the custom estate’s appearance. While retaining its classic Mediterranean-inspired style, the property is professionally restored and upgraded with today’s preferred appointments. Also known as Mariona Villa, the estate has a rich history enhanced by the allure of Old Hollywood. Actress Bette Davis met her third husband here in the mid-1940s, and Actor Erroll Flynn was known to visit. An enviable location is moments from restaurants, shops, galleries and resorts.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
