I believe that is the address. It is the house at the very end of Riviera drive.

Basically when I drive on PCH toward Laguna beach, I see this large house perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean. When I take a closer look, it looks like some windows are boarded up and not in the greatest shape. Birds eye satellite view of the house seems to show a drained pool as well.

I was always curious to what the story is about this house. Not that I can afford it. It just seems strange that a house in such a 'prime' spot would be empty if that is what it looks like it is.
 
I have noticed that house too. It is an awesome location, but every time I see it I think "some day that is going to slide into the pacific." I think the correct address is 2695 Riviera.



Some googling leads me to believe that it is owned by <a href="http://www.hopkinsgroup.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=dsp&page=team_detail&section=3&recid=6">this guy and his wife.</a>



It looks like around 2000 they were trying to subdivide the lot and build another structure. It's probably still in the midst of renovations.

wow $3700 sq. Ft.

In the pics it looks like soil erosion has actually reached the house in an area. Off the cliff she goes......



Nice house. I guess that is how the other, other half lives.
