Villa Rockledge has been charmed since it first took shape on the high cliffs of Laguna Beach nearly a century ago. It has been in the same loving hands for over three decades and now, the chance to own this magnificent compound with a main house, six villa compound and its rare private beach has emerged. Under the watchful eye of its creators, the same crews and artisans who built the Mission Inn crafted every part of the stunning residence by hand — from the thick cement foundations and retaining walls to the rustic stone towers, large open oceanside porches and ornamental chimneys. Each leaded glass casement window, heavy beam, hand-sanded mahogany floor, wrought iron railing and masterpiece timework was alike. In 1984, the property was added to the National Registry of Historic Places. Also available for lease. www.VillaRockledge.net
