The Promontory on the Pacific with View of Catalina

About the Space

Perched off a palm-lined road that rivals Beverly Hills, or Laguna — yet almost undiscovered — until now Mid-century in structure, craftsman at heart, the 2,100-square-foot interior carries a lived-in warmth rather than polished showiness — the kind of authentic character location scouts often struggle to find. Three bedrooms include one with an unreal, unobstructed ocean view, plus a rare and photogenic living room also with Ocean view and a snooker room that adds a moody, character-driven interior for productions wanting something beyond the standard living-room setup. Outside, 5,000 square feet of gardens unfold across the hillside, anchored by a cactus maze with sweeping views toward Catalina Island — a striking, graphic backdrop for both stills and motion work. The terraced cactus landscape echoes Laguna Beach's iconic hillsides, minus the crowds and camera-shy tourists. The interior gardens are filled with interesting plants and cacti, with an intimate storytelling lushness. From the master suite and living room, the sightline runs straight to Catalina across open ocean — this is, in fact, the closest point on the California mainland to Catalina, offering an unobstructed island-and-sea backdrop rare among coastal filming locations. It's a setting built for stillness and quiet drama: a cinematic backdrop location where a story feels ready to unfold before a single frame is shot. Ideal for editorial stills, photo shoots, and film productions seeking an authentic, ocean-view estate with Catalina Island views. Available for select stills and film projects.
