The property, at 7 Montage Way, is a six-bed, nine-bath home located in Montage Ocean Estates, a wealthy enclave that counts billionaire Mark Cuban as one of its inhabitants. The property is just a few doors down from Cuban’s vacation home at 3 Montage Way.

Seacrest Developers built the 8,140-square-foot home with interior designs from Costa Mesa-based Ziccardi Designs. It has features such as a glass bridge walkway, a Zen garden with custom waterfalls and an infinity pool. The home also contains a 1,000-bottle wine room, a gym with a glass ceiling and a home theater with a nine-screen TV set.
The home was first listed for $30.9 million in November of 2020. The sale closed earlier this month.
The current all-time record in Orange County was set last year, also in Laguna Beach. Joseph Edelman, the billionaire founder of New York hedge fund Perceptive Advisors, paid $70 million for a mansion in Irvine Cove. The sale erased the previous record set by LoanDepot founder Anthony Hsieh, who bought a Newport Coast home for $61 million in 2020.
