On the market for the first time in decades, 1947 Rim Rock Canyon offers a singular opportunity to own an ultra-private 1.8-acre compound with expansive ocean and canyon views. This largely flat parcel in a prime Temple Hills location features incredible panoramas from nearly every corner - an ideal canvas for those looking for an opportunity to build a dream estate. As secluded as it is tranquil, this property is accessed via a gate at the end of a long, gently sloping driveway. Beyond it, the terraced lot offers meticulously manicured grounds with several lookout areas, creating the ultimate tranquil haven. The main structure exudes charm, with cottage architectural details and weeping mortar accents. Landscaped with care, the vast grounds feature multiple stone patios and gravel walkways, creating an idyllic setting for enjoying nature. The front English-style garden, with a maze of precisely maintained hedges, is anchored by a central fountain. While removed from the bustle of the city itself, this one-of-a-kind estate offers easy access to Laguna Beach’s renowned galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and beaches.

RHP
Residential/ Hillside Protection Zone
The intent and purpose of this zone is to allow for low-intensity, residential development that addresses concerns for public health and safety and promotes the design criteria set forth in Section 25.15.004. All new development in this zone shall be sensitive to the hillside terrain and to the environmental constraints and shall provide for the conservation of existing natural open space lands, unique landforms, scenic hillsides and sensitive biological habitats. These environmental constraints include potential danger from fire, slope failure and erosion, as well as the difficulty of emergency evacuation. Protection of the physical environment, public views and aesthetic qualities associated with undeveloped lands is of critical concern in this zone. Low-intensity agricultural uses and passive, recreational uses are also appropriate for this zone.
