Perched high atop a steep cliff overlooking the ocean sits an architectural masterpiece. This gated complex simply known as “The Razor” was designed by award-winning San Diego-based architect Wallace E. Cunningham, whose design philosophy allows for natural light to play an animated role in defining this space. The home is constructed from white polished concrete and floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the ocean and the Torrey Pines State Reserve from just about every room. The 11,000-square-foot home features four bedrooms, six bathrooms, a two-level guesthouse, and a six-car underground garage, as well as access to Black’s Beach, where clothing is optional.

Emerald Cay

No, this isn’t Disney World, although, at first glance, it’s easy to mistake this Caribbean hideaway as a new installment at the Magic Kingdom. Located just offshore from Providenciales Island, Emerald Cay in Turks and Caicos is 2.5 acres of pure fantasy. 
Once you pass over the 40-foot remote-controlled swing bridge onto this private island, a Turkish marble driveway leads you to the 30,000-square-foot, Mediterranean-style villa. From there, amenities read like a billionaire’s wish list: 45-foot great room ceiling, three-story library, 6,000-bottle wine cellar, separate villas for guests and staff, two boat slips, multiple pools, waterfalls, lagoons and, of course, a swim-up bar.
The Details: $48,500,000; Lyle Schmidek, Grace Bay Realty; 602-324-9400; info@gracebayrealty.com; gracebayrealty.com.
