Summary

A $29 million oceanfront gem in Laguna Beach, once owned by late General Dynamics titan James Mellor, is hitting the market—complete with six thousand square feet, panoramic Catalina views, and luxury upgrades including a spa, infinity pool, and a wine cellar holding nearly 700 bottles. Originally purchased in 2009 for $17.7 million, the Montage resort property was redesigned in 2012 with glass walls, open layouts, and lavish interiors. Mellor, a defense industry legend who retired to community service, passed in 2023 at 94, and his wife followed in 2024 at 91. Listed by Berkshire Hathaway agents, this historic estate blends opulence, oceanfront living, and legacy. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
