Poised at the end of a private, ocean front cul de sac in the coveted Cyprus Shores community, this residence looks straight out to Cottons Point with unobstructed views all the way up the coastline to Dana Point and out to Catalina & San Clemente Islands.

Iconic Surf Culture

The iconic house holds a slice of history, especially for surf culture, as the previous residence of the late John Severson of Surfer Magazine, and for it’s close proximity of the Nixon Estate, La Casa Pacifica.

Mid-Century Beach House

The rare lot is the largest on the bluff in the neighborhood boasting over 14,700 sq. ft. The mid-century beach house features authentic post and beam ceilings throughout, travertine floors, two outdoor showers, and five bedrooms including a secluded guest quarters.

Gourmet Kitchen

The gourmet chef’s Kitchen is complete with every imaginable appliance from a SubZero refrigerator to a Dynasty oven & gas stove top with griddle, two sinks, a large island, wine fridge, and extensive storage. Step up to the Living Room with a grand fireplace and windows looking over the Pacific Ocean.

Master Retreat

The Master Retreat feels like a private stateroom on a boat—nestled into the bluff so the ocean becomes your horizon line. From this tucked-away vantage point, you get that “on a boat” sensation: calm, cocooned, and completely dialed in to the movement and energy of the Pacific, as if you could watch the coastline and surf roll by for hours. It’s a true escape, expanded by the home’s retreat area and fireplace, with extra space for a study/office and fitness/yoga zone—all designed to make the primary suite feel like its own coastal sanctuary.

Wraparound Deck

The property features over 1,500 sq. ft. of wraparound deck space, creating a true indoor-outdoor living experience. An in-ground Jacuzzi anchors the setting, while the expansive layout leaves plenty of room for multiple seating zones, dining, lounging, and effortless flow for entertaining. Whether you’re hosting a sunset happy hour, a family gathering, or a full house of friends, this deck is designed to handle it all—comfortably and in style.

Gateway to World Class Surf

From 405 Calle Alicia, you are front-row to the energy of South Gate / Cottons Point—a playful, wave-rich corner of the Trestles zone where sets swing in and light up with peeling lefts and fun rights. When the swell has a little push, Cottons can serve up long, workable walls; and when it’s really pumping, it holds size as the waves start breaking farther out on the reef, giving it that “bigger-than-it-looks” feel from the bluff. Enjoy firsthand those clean windows when the tide and wind line up just right—often best around lower to mid tides. You won’t miss it as you watch the waves from your master, living room or deck.

Trestles Right Around the Corner

As you round the corner and head south along the shoreline, the coast opens into the heart of the Trestles zone—first you’ll hit Middles, a super-fun, user-friendly wave with consistent peaks that can serve up long, rippable walls when the swell and tide line up. Keep cruising a little farther and you’re at world-class Upper Trestles, the iconic high-performance arena where clean lines stack up across multiple takeoff spots and the wave just seems to invite speed, carving turns, and endless combinations—one of those rare breaks that feels electric even before you paddle out.
