Oceans 13 estate in California sets luxury standards. See the $50 million property

The Oceans 13 estate in Orange County, California, a stunning secluded hilltop estate, spans 14,500 square feet on 13 acres with unrivaled ocean views from nearly every room.

The trophy home is for sale for $50 million.

The home is owned by Gary Dinkin, 61, founder of gift-card software SmartClixx, and his wife, Lindy Dinkin, 60, according to the Wall Street Journal.

“(The views) literally still take my breath away,” Gary Dinkin told the Los Angeles Daily News.

The compound is located in the coveted Bear Brand Ranch community of Laguna Niguel. An 18-foot award-winning stainless steel and glass private gate opens to a 500-foot driveway with circular motor court and sculptures.

Inside, bright natural light streams through 20 skylights, and oversized windows maximize the tremendous views in the six-bedroom, 10-bathroom home.

There’s a gourmet chef’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, bar, steam and infrared sauna, gym, movie theater and game room. Sleek limestone floors stretch throughout the mansion. The primary suite on the main level features walls of glass and opens to a vast balcony overlooking the ocean and a dual-sided fireplace.

The design carries a geometric influence throughout the property down to the swimming pool that sits at an angle.

Outside, an extensive outdoor grilling area with full kitchenette and 2,500 square feet of decking is ideal for entertaining. A negative edge pool has a Baja shelf and a glass bridge leading to a fire pit that seats 25 people, as well as a grand spa, waterfalls and two putting greens.

Hundreds of fruit trees and vegetables have been planted on the grounds.

The listing agents are Josh Altman, Matt Altman and Andy Stavros of Douglas Elliman. John Stanaland with Villa Real Estate is a co-listing agent.
