"When you're on the grounds there's a feeling of disassociation with the real world. Everyone has the feeling that they're stepping back into history. The Griffith Estate is just one of 46 homes currently listed for more than a million dollars overlooking the ocean along this section of the Orange County coast."
"On the left is a guest house consisting of the former chart house from the original three-mast sailing ship, the Mary Dollar. In the main house is an authentic ship's staircase, cage elevator, porthole windows and den designed by the art director of "Mutiny on the Bounty." And beyond a brick patio overlooking the ocean is the lighthouse and rickety wooden steps dropping about 70 feet to a private 200-foot beach complete with a cave and a saltwater swimming pool built into the rocks and replenished daily by the tides."
The Griffith Estate is an exclusive oceanfront property located off Coast Highway in Orange County, disguised behind a modest gatehouse and security gate. The one-acre hillside property features a working lighthouse, private 200-foot beach with ocean cave, saltwater swimming pool built into rocks, and a main house incorporating authentic nautical elements including a ship's staircase, cage elevator, and porthole windows. A guest house was constructed from the chart house of the historic three-mast sailing ship Mary Dollar. The property's interior design reflects Hollywood glamour, with the den designed by the art director of "Mutiny on the Bounty." Listed at $8.25 million, it represents one of 46 homes priced above one million dollars along this coastal stretch.
