5143 Shore Drive

Description

Built on solid bedrock and perched above the sea, 5143 Shore Drive is a rare legacy estate that redefines coastal living. With private stairs to the beach and more than 60 feet of pristine beach frontage overlooking the famed Terramar surf break, this European-inspired villa seamlessly blends old-world charm with contemporary design, offering an unparalleled seaside experience. Spanning approximately 5,285 square feet, the residence showcases 6 oversized bedrooms including two oceanfront primary suites and a townhome-style guest casita with its own kitchen, living room, and upper level bedroom. A gated courtyard sets a tranquil tone upon arrival, complete with a pond, fountain, and outdoor fireplace—all thoughtfully protected from the coastal elements. Inside, curated design details abound: hand-crafted millwork, painted and mosaic tile finishes, and a remarkable total of eight fireplaces lend a sense of timeless character. Two full walls of stacking glass Fleetwood doors connect the formal living and dining rooms with an expansive terraced patio that leads directly to the sand via private steps. A firepit anchors the patio, providing a front-row seat for breathtaking sunsets, seasonal whale migrations, and the constant rhythm of the Pacific. At the heart of the home, a chef’s kitchen and an ocean-view wet bar enhance effortless entertaining for intimate gatherings and grand-scale soirees alike. A library or den lends further distinction and versatility to the residence. Whether watching surfers glide across waves or exploring tide pools at low tide, this home invites you to live immersed in nature’s beauty. Located moments from Carlsbad Airport, and Carlsbad Village with shopping, entertainment, and Michelin-starred dining, 5143 Shore Drive is more than a home—it’s a rare opportunity to own one of the few true beachfront properties along the North County coastline.
