California’s 101 Top Coastal Properties

More than 25 percent of the U.S. properties listed for $25 million or more are in California, according to the 13th annual edition of Ultimate Homes. The 14th will be out in May, and is likely to show the same result. As a nod to The Golden State’s real estate swagger, we wanted to dedicate a portion of our annual winter waterfront issue to the Cali Coast. From an $85 million manse on a landmark Malibu site to a near-new Santa Barbara estate on almost 5 acres, enjoy our presentation of the 101 most expensive California coastal homes currently for sale.
