Shell Beach Residence


At the entrance to this home on the bluff overlooking the ocean, planters featuring dwarf windmill palms, boulders, grasses and colorful perennials greet your arrival. The entire hillside landscape features large olive trees, more palms, and accent grasses along with a mix of drought-tolerant ground covers. The main entry garden features a fountain, slate patio, dry stacked garden wall and flagstone steps to help navigate a tricky elevation change.

The stone tree-terraces for the olive trees repeat the dry stack garden wall technique used throughout the property. Stone-lined pathways and timber stairs create uphill access, making the most of the steep lot with raised veggie beds, fruit trees, a bench setting and gazebo to enjoy the ocean views.
