The Strand At Headlands

The Strand At Headlands

There are homes on the coast, and then there are places that redefine life at the edge of the Pacific. Set directly above the sand within the guard-gated enclave of The Strand at Headlands, 1 Strand Beach Dr is a brand new oceanfront residence, completed in September 2026. Created by Brandon Architects, with interiors by Dejager Design and built by Genova Construction, the home is shaped by light, water, and dramatic volumes. Expansive glass, Italian travertine, Mission Maple cabinetry, custom stone and warm wood create a palette that feels contemporary and yet deeply connected to its surroundings. The architecture was designed to frame the view. Across six bedrooms and ten bathrooms, the residence returns your attention to the coastline. Automated Otiima glass doors create 44-foot-wide openings across the main and lower levels, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out, while 11 foot ceilings amplify the sense of volume. A glass bottom spa appears to float from the second floor as it waterfalls into the pool. A private Garaventa elevator connects every level, including the subterranean five car garage with vehicle turntable and space for multiple vehicles. Technology is integrated throughout with Control4 automation, four touch panels, mobile access, and invisible Sonance sound. Private wellness amenities include a gym, jacuzzi, infrared and traditional saunas, massage studio, and home office. The primary suite includes his and hers private ensuite experiences, with limestone, expansive glass, a spa like bath, double sided fireplace, and heated backrest jacuzzi. Water becomes a recurring theme, from the chiseled travertine driveway feature to the pools, reflections, architectural details, and the Pacific beyond. Construction is equally exceptional. The home is over-engineered and overbuilt with a 24 inch matte structural slab, extensive reinforcement, and a foundation created for its coastal setting. Solar panels and home battery backup support modern living. The Strand at Headlands offers a rare convergence of security, privacy, direct beach access, coastal trails, private pool and gym facilities, and proximity to coastal Orange County. Yet once inside, the outside world recedes. Life becomes defined by the movement of the tide, changing light across the Headlands, and the endless ocean horizon. There comes a point when a home stops being simply a residence and becomes something else entirely: a statement of architecture, place, and possibility. $65,000,000 Active
