Privacy, serenity and a relaxed sensibility are cherished above all. This south-facing heritage lot belongs to the community’s forefathers. Founded in 1926 and named for the stunning Brittany seaside, St. Malo was established as a seasonal playground for the Hollywood set. The stylish escape was splashed across the pages of 1940s Vogue with Kenyon Keith as the prototypical starchitect. The headline: “St. Malo—Not France but California.” The article described “a happy mixture of the quiet charm of the Old World and the security and peace of the new.” Today, St. Malo retains a global sophistication tailored for a decidedly modern California mindset. Behind the gate, the beaches are private and feel world’s away from the bustle. The directive: Slow down. Yet, close proximity to every amenity makes living your California Dream a convenient reality. Gain access to North County’s enviable lifestyle with Oceanside and Carlsbad Village just 10 minutes away.

Meanwhile, Carlsbad brims with discovery thanks to on-the-verge architecture, design stores, and foodie gems. Lot #79 invites a new-era opportunity with an unbeatable origin story.
