Set at the oceanfront edge of Hope Ranch, the residence known as Vera Villa holds one of the more uninterrupted coastal frontages in the area -- roughly 170 feet of shoreline across 2.5 acres, where the Pacific defines the property from first light through dusk. Whales pass offshore and dolphins move through the surf, and the water carries its shifting moods into the home throughout the day.

The residence comprises just over 4,700 square feet under roof, its orientation composed to draw the coastline inward and to live as much with the ocean as beside it.
