In late 1918, under the watchful eyes of iconic historical developers Frank A. Miller and Arthur Benton, the same crews and artisans who built the famous Mission Inn, began to craft this stunning residence by hand - from the thick cement foundations and retaining walls to the rustic stone towers, large open ocean-side porches and ornamental chimneys. Each leaded glass casement window, heavy beam, hand-sanded mahogany floor, wrought iron railing and masterpiece timework was handmade. The process took four years.
Miller and Benton filled Villa Rockledge with a dazzling array of "new" Mediterranean and Mission influences that captured the idealized beauty of Early California. Encouraged by Miller, the style would soon sweep Southern California, winning generations of hearts. Soon after, some of Hollywood’s most famous movie celebrities came and stayed, an homage to the unique place and style that is still Villa Rockledge today.
A true legacy house for generations to come, the views from every window are exquisite. The private beach is both rare and divine, and one of the last available private beaches in California. An esteemed member of the USA's National Registry of Historic Places, a coveted designation which does not prohibit architectural updates, but encourages preservation of historical significance.
The soul of Villa Rockledge can only be experienced from standing in the grand foyer, or drinking in the awe-inspiring ocean-side vistas.
