Crystal Cove Estate Hits Market for $50 Million
The Khosh Team of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties is currently marketing one of Crystal Cove’s most distinguished custom-built estates, an extraordinary $50 million residence that showcases sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Newport Harbor, Catalina Island, and the glittering city lights of Southern California. Widely regarded as one of the most exceptional luxury offerings in the region, the estate represents a rare convergence of architectural vision, craftsmanship, and location.
Designed by acclaimed architect Eric Trabert and constructed by Neilson Construction, the approximately 11,290-square-foot residence stands as a refined expression of contemporary coastal luxury. The interiors, created by Studio Jackson Design under the direction of Ryan Gordon Jackson, further elevate the home with a sophisticated modern aesthetic that emphasizes clean lines, curated materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Together, the design and construction teams bring a combined legacy of award-winning expertise and nationally recognized work in high-end residential architecture.
Eric Trabert’s architectural practice has been honored with several prestigious accolades, including an Award of Merit for California’s Best Custom Home, a Best of American Living Award, and a Best One-of-a-Kind Custom Home distinction. Neilson Construction, a long-established Orange County builder specializing in custom residential estates since 1985, brings decades of experience in delivering complex, high-end homes tailored to unique sites and client visions. Studio Jackson Design has earned international recognition, with features in publications such as Architectural Digest, Galerie, Elle Decoration China, Interior Design, Veranda, and LUXE Magazine, underscoring its reputation for refined contemporary interiors.
Beyond the pedigree of its design team, the Crystal Cove estate is distinguished by a number of rare physical and regulatory attributes that enhance its value and exclusivity. One of the most notable is the approval to build beyond 30 feet in height—an uncommon allowance in this coastal community, where strict architectural guidelines typically limit vertical development. Combined with its prime end-of-cul-de-sac location, expansive approximately 18,770-square-foot lot, and relatively recent completion in 2020, the property stands out as a truly unique offering within one of Southern California’s most prestigious enclaves.
The home is designed to maximize its extraordinary setting, with every major living space oriented toward unobstructed ocean and coastline views. A striking negative-edge infinity pool serves as a visual centerpiece, creating the illusion that the water extends directly into the Pacific Ocean beyond. This design feature enhances the experience of daily living, especially during sunset hours when the horizon transforms into a dynamic blend of ocean blues, harbor lights, and the silhouette of Catalina Island.
Luxury amenities within the estate reflect both lifestyle and entertainment priorities. A custom-designed “jewel box” garage provides a gallery-like space intended for showcasing an automotive collection, blending functionality with display-quality presentation. Additional amenities include a state-of-the-art home theater, a fully equipped fitness center, and a large-scale outdoor pavilion designed for hosting events with panoramic ocean views.
The entertainment areas extend outdoors, where a fully integrated wet bar and wine display create a curated experience for collectors and guests alike. Designed as an open-air social hub, this space blends hospitality, design, and lifestyle, allowing for both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining. The integration of architecture and lifestyle programming reflects the home’s overarching design philosophy: to create a seamless connection between luxury living and the natural coastal environment.
According to listing agent Aaron Khosh, the property represents one of the most significant estates ever brought to market in Crystal Cove in recent years.
“This is one of the most significant custom estates to come to market in Crystal Cove in recent years,” Khosh said. “The combination of the location, scale, views, and quality of construction is incredibly rare and evident in every detail throughout the home. It’s truly an experience, and every room offers something special.”
The estate is situated on a single-loaded street, a highly desirable configuration that enhances privacy and preserves sightlines. A dramatic two-story interior courtyard anchors the home’s layout, creating a central architectural focal point that enhances natural light and spatial flow. An elevator connects all three levels of the residence, providing convenient access throughout the home.
Additional features include multiple sets of floor-to-ceiling glass doors, expansive ocean-view balconies, outdoor terraces, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, a dedicated music studio room, and a private office. Each space has been carefully designed to balance functionality with aesthetic impact, ensuring that daily living is complemented by architectural elegance.
Co-listing agent Mehdi Khosh emphasized the rarity and enduring quality of the estate, noting its position among the finest homes he has represented throughout his career.
“Over the course of my career, I’ve had the opportunity to represent some extraordinary homes,” Khosh explained. “This property stands among the finest due to its design, craftsmanship, and irreplaceable setting.”
Together, Mehdi Khosh and Aaron Khosh have established themselves as one of the top-producing real estate teams in the Newport Beach office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. With a combined career sales volume exceeding $2 billion and a social media following of more than 200,000, the Khosh Team has built a strong reputation as one of California’s most prominent luxury real estate brands. Their extensive market expertise and global reach position them to effectively represent landmark estates such as this Crystal Cove property, connecting exceptional homes with a highly qualified international buyer pool.
