1412 Lower Paseo La Cresta, Palos Verdes Estates
We’re proud to share that Chris Adlam and his beautiful listing at 1412 Lower Paseo La Cresta have been featured in DIGS Magazine’s South Bay edition. In a beautifully written piece by Constance Dunn, the article captures the refined elegance and emotional pull of this rare Palos Verdes retreat — a French-inspired estate set against California’s iconic coastline.
A Slice of the South of France in Southern California
DIGS describes the estate as “a slice of the South of France in Southern California,” and the comparison couldn’t be more fitting. Set on over 1.5 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, this property blends timeless European style with relaxed, resort-like luxury — all just minutes from the best of Palos Verdes.
Inside, over 7,500 square feet of living space offer a warm, rustic elegance. Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, hand-carved limestone fireplaces, and oversized windows frame sweeping views of the Pacific. Every inch of this home is designed to capture both natural beauty and sophisticated ease.
The separate guesthouse is a retreat of its own, complete with its own kitchen, spa-style baths, and laundry—perfect for hosting in style or offering privacy for long-term guests.
And the grounds? They’re simply exceptional. A resort-style pool and spa sit beside a tranquil pool house, while a putting green and secluded fruit orchard offer space for leisure and play. The estate’s setting on a peaceful, one-way street ensures total privacy while still being just minutes from top schools, restaurants, and coastline amenities.
“You immediately feel as though you’re in the south of France,” Chris shares in the article. “But the light is very California—brilliant and golden.”
