A contemporary cliffside mansion in Laguna Beach‘s guard-gated Emerald Bay enclave made headlines in June when it quietly traded to an unnamed entity in an off-market deal for $110 million. As Orange County‘s first-ever nine-figure real estate deal, it shattered the area’s all-time price record set by an Irvine Cove mansion that sold in 2021 for $70 million. Another residence in the seaside city has just emerged with a staggering $112 million sticker price, aiming to crown itself as O.C. A spiral staircase connects the primary suite to a private oceanfront study. Chris Snitko/Modern Take Media
