Come to see the unique and exclusive location with private access to the beach, the seclusion and privacy the neighborhood offers and the proximity to world-class university, research and corporate organizations. Then research the rarity of sales in this neighborhood.
What is exceptional about this property is the exclusive area on the coastal bluffs over the ocean in a serene and private neighborhood, which is located on a canyon adjacent to the nearly 1000-acre Scripps Coastal Reserve. In the past ten years, only four sales have occurred in this neighborhood making this a rare opportunity to live in an area of coastal La Jolla that is secluded yet more easily accessed than many other La Jolla addresses.Homeowners on this street enjoy access to a private 19-acre coastal canyon with exclusive beach access (with a $200 annual association membership fee, which is used to maintain canyon trail and landscape).From this unique location, University of California-San Diego, world-renowned research institutions and technology companies, Torrey Scientific Park, Scripps Hospital, La Jolla Shores, shopping and freeway access are all within five minutes.
