Ultra-Private Compound in Temple Hills On the market for the first time in decades, 1947 Rim Rock Canyon offers a singular opportunity to own an ultra-private 1.8-acre compound with expansive ocean and canyon views. This largely flat parcel in a prime Temple Hills location features incredible panoramas from nearly every corner—an ideal canvas for those looking for an opportunity to build a dream estate.

While removed from the bustle of the city itself, this one-of-a-kind estate offers easy access to Laguna Beach’s renowned galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and beaches.
