Imagine living in a house so extra that it has its own bowling alley, movie theater, and car museum.

Yeah, that’s the reality for whoever owns 4627 Brighton Rd in Corona del Mar, California. Known as the Portabello Estate, this 22,000-square-foot oceanfront masterpiece isn’t just a home—it’s basically a private resort that makes your favorite luxury hotel look like a budget motel compared to the Waldorf Towers NYC.

Let me walk you through what might be one of the most ridiculous (in the best way possible) homes on the California coastline. Spoiler alert: you’re going to be jealous.

Inside the Portabello Estate: Corona del Mar’s Crown Jewel

This mega-mansion spans three oceanfront lots, with about 30,000 square feet of combined space. That’s roughly the size of a small shopping mall, but with way better views.

Designed by architect Brion Jeannette and completed in 2002, the property was built by tech entrepreneur Frank W. Pritt III, who clearly decided that “understated” wasn’t in his vocabulary.

The estate offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island through massive walls of glass, creating that seamless indoor-outdoor California vibe that makes you forget where your living room ends and the ocean begins—similar to the luxury lifestyle vibe you’d find at Life at Colette.

Amenities That’ll Make Your Jaw Drop

I’m pretty sure the amenities list for this place reads like a billionaire’s Christmas wishlist:

• Two-level grotto with a pool, two spas, swim-up bar, and tunnel slide (because regular pools are for peasants)
• Automotive museum that can display 12 cars in climate-controlled glory
• Full car service shop with office and car lift (for when you don’t feel like driving your Lamborghini to the mechanic—think of something built by RT Display’s level of craftsmanship)
• Movie theater complete with marquee, stage, and ticket booth (just in case you forget you’re not at an actual cinema)
• Mini-diner with a soda fountain and bar (for when walking to the main kitchen feels too exhausting)
• Two-lane bowling alley with shoe rental area (yes, really)
• Jewelry “store” to display family heirlooms (because regular safes are boring)

The estate also has 8 bedrooms and 12.5 bathrooms, but honestly, that feels like an afterthought compared to everything else. Who needs bedrooms when you have your own bowling alley?

Location, Privacy, and Views Worth Millions

Situated in the exclusive Cameo Shores neighborhood, this property offers what wealthy Californians value most: absolute privacy with jaw-dropping ocean views.

The estate stretches across more than 300 feet of ocean frontage on a 0.49-acre lot. Being less than 20 minutes from John Wayne Airport means you can go from private jet to private grotto in the time it takes most people to find parking at the grocery store.

Despite the proximity to civilization, the property feels completely secluded—like your own private island, just with better Wi-Fi and pizza delivery options. For comparison, even elite city stays like Ashbel Hotel New York can’t offer this kind of uninterrupted ocean escape.

The Price Tag Makes My Credit Card Weep

The Portabello Estate has a history of breaking records and bank accounts. In 2007, it hit the market for a cool $75 million, making it one of America’s priciest homes at the time.

It eventually sold in 2010 for a more “reasonable” $34,119,500 to Fariborz Maseeh (founder of Picoco LLC), but its current Zestimate sits around $57.7 million. That works out to about $2,626 per square foot—roughly the price of a decent used car for every square foot of living space.

If you’ve got an eye for luxury investments, you might find similar high-end real estate inspiration from firms like Scutti Properties.

Monthly HOA fees are a surprisingly modest $115 (probably the only affordable thing about this place), but property taxes will set you back over $438,000 annually—more than most homes cost outright.

The Neighborhood: Where Even the “Average” Homes Are Exceptional

Corona del Mar isn’t exactly known for starter homes, but the Portabello Estate stands out even in this ultra-wealthy community.

The area offers residents access to some of California’s most pristine beaches, top-rated schools, and high-end shopping—all the things you’d expect in a zip code where the median home price could buy you a small island nation elsewhere.

If you’re dreaming of creating your own slice of California luxury, custom builders like Renovision Design & Build in Tacoma show just how far great design and craftsmanship can go.

Natural Disaster Risk (Because Even Paradise Has Fine Print)

According to Redfin, the property has minimal risk of flooding or severe winds in the next 30 years. Wildfires are also unlikely to affect the area—which is good news when your house is worth more than the GDP of some small countries.

So What’s the Takeaway Here?

The Portabello Estate isn’t just a house—it’s a full-on lifestyle fantasy with a zip code. It represents what happens when someone says, “I want everything,” and their architect replies, “Hold my champagne.”

While most of us will never live in anything remotely close to this level of luxury, properties like 4627 Brighton Rd serve as architectural inspiration and, let’s be honest, excellent material for real estate daydreaming.

Whether you’re a lottery winner looking for your next home, a real estate enthusiast, or just someone who enjoys a good bout of property porn, the Portabello Estate delivers on every level—from its groundbreaking architecture to its almost comically comprehensive list of amenities.

And if nothing else, it makes for a great answer to the question, “What would you do if you won the lottery?”

Now excuse me while I go check my couch cushions for $57 million in loose change—or maybe just a down payment at Life at Colette.
