The offering includes: - 1285 Cortez Ave (APN 644-432-01) - 829 Miramar St (APN 644-432-02) - 855 Miramar St (APN 644-432-03) Collectively originating from the historic Arch Beach Heights subdivision, the three parcels encompass approximately 0.39 acres of elevated hillside property offering privacy, canyon surroundings, and ocean-views. Buyers are advised to independently verify all development possibilities, lot status, zoning, access, and building requirements with the City of Laguna Beach and other appropriate professionals. The Cortez parcel currently features a charming single-story 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with sweeping canyon and ocean views, tranquil garden areas, a dwarf avocado tree, and fruit cocktail tree. Located on a quiet street with minimal through traffic and no streetlights, the setting offers a peaceful coastal atmosphere. The adjacent Miramar parcels are separate legal lots of record and may present future planning, design, or development opportunities for buyers seeking a custom residential compound, architectural estate, or long-term investment opportunity. Located within close proximity to scenic hiking trails, renowned beaches, acclaimed restaurants, galleries, and the vibrant village lifestyle of Laguna Beach, this assemblage offers a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a distinctive coastal property with future potential. Opportunities to acquire multiple contiguous parcels in Arch Beach Heights are exceptionally limited. Whether envisioned as a private retreat, custom architectural project, or long-term coastal investment, 1285 Cortez Ave offers a rare canvas in one of Laguna Beach's most iconic hillside neighborhoods. Seller and listing broker make no guarantees regarding development potential, lot status, zoning, views, or future use. Buyers are advised to conduct their own independent investigations with the City of Laguna Beach and licensed professionals. ## Location - **Address:** 1285 Cortez Avenue, Laguna Beach, CA 92651 - **County:** Orange - **Neighborhood:** Arch Beach Heights (ABH) ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Gaetano LoGrande · **License:** 01861815 - **Brokerage:** BULLOCK RUSSELL real estate services - **Broker Phone:** (949) 433-5504 ## Photos ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f3186162617r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f2011015884r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f565250287r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f675877518r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f3073775998r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f1362172141r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f296171705r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f845593163r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f4168673029r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f2420602709r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f3022495001r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f3666820993r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f2511166290r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f1107044582r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f3858922193r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f2280389345r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f3170012799r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f448086015r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f2967863143r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f1469136231r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f3332189404r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f4284097298r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f198724439r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f3193432591r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f3076196081r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f3468885254r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f2518468847r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f2080379456r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f854482321r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 30](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f444385354r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 31](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f771954806r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 32](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f3829031273r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 33](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f3795894525r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 34](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f2780479978r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 35](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f2205032r.jpg) ![1285 Cortez Avenue - Photo 36](http://lh.rdcpix.com/0a16bc63767393319115b533f925615cl-f2699036933r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** OC26216358 | **Updated:** 2026-10-28 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 California Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc.
