Welcome to 2209 Cliff Drive, a rare offering along one of Newport Beach’s most exclusive and tightly held stretches of Cliff Drive. Elevated above PCH and defined by privacy, outlook, and long-term scarcity, this property presents an exceptional opportunity to reimagine a premier coastal site in a location that rarely trades. Offered with an existing structure and accompanying new construction plans, the property provides a compelling pathway for a future owner to create a design-forward residence that fully capitalizes on its commanding position and remarkable setting. The site benefits from elevated sightlines, separation from roadway activity, and a setting that is materially more private and visually protected than nearby locations along Kings Road or Kings Place. Conceptual plans envision a substantial, architecturally significant home tailored to the scale and character appropriate for this stretch of Cliff Drive. The position of the lot, combined with its setback from PCH and surrounding context, allows for a level of privacy, quiet, and outlook that is increasingly difficult to replicate in Newport Beach. This segment of Cliff Drive is extraordinarily limited, with very few opportunities for true ground-up redevelopment at this caliber. The combination of location, elevation, scarcity, and future potential makes 2209 Cliff Drive a compelling opportunity for a buyer seeking to create a legacy residence or pursue a high-quality development in one of the city’s most structurally constrained residential corridors. Plans are available for review. Buyer to independently verify all development potential, square footage, approvals, and timelines with the appropriate professionals and governing agencies.
