LA JOLLA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 12, 2026--
An exceptionally rare opportunity to own a private residence directly above the sand at one of La Jolla's most celebrated coastal settings has come to market. Offered at $21,500,000, 7136 Vista del Mar Avenue occupies a privileged position directly above the beach at North WindanSea, overlooking the renowned surf break known locally as Little Point.

Set at the end of a quiet beachfront cul-de-sac, the approximately 4,516-square-foot, four-bedroom residence offers an unusual combination of privacy, scale and proximity to the Pacific. A vast, level lawn stretches between the home and the beach, creating a remarkable sense of openness and separation rarely found in a true oceanfront setting. From the elevated residence, expansive views extend across whitewater and coastline to the horizon, with spectacular sunsets completing the coastal panorama.
The home's architecture further distinguishes the property. Designed in the spirit of a modern California post-and-beam residence, with a distinctly organic, Wrightian influence, the home is characterized by soaring exposed-beam ceilings, warm natural wood, monumental stone and expansive walls of glass. These elements create a seamless visual and spatial connection between the interiors and the Pacific beyond.
Yet it is the property's setting and combination of attributes that make 7136 Vista del Mar particularly compelling. True sandy-beach frontage, an expansive level lawn, exceptional privacy, an elevated position above the beach and immediate proximity to one of Southern California's most storied surf locations represent a collection of characteristics that would be extraordinarily difficult to replicate in La Jolla.
"La Jolla has always been defined by its relationship with the ocean, but properties that offer this particular combination are extraordinarily rare," said Greg Noonan, Broker Associate with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties and founder of Greg Noonan & Associates.
"There are beautiful oceanfront homes available in La Jolla, but very few properties that combine this extreme privacy, broad level lawn and a setting directly above the sandy beach. You hear the lull of the surf, watch the waves at Little Point and look straight out to the horizon, yet the home feels remarkably secluded. After more than four decades selling La Jolla real estate, I know how breathtakingly rarely a property with this combination of attributes becomes available."
A Singular La Jolla Setting
La Jolla has long attracted leaders in science, technology, medicine, philanthropy, entertainment and sport, drawn in part by its distinctive combination of natural beauty, coastal lifestyle and proximity to San Diego's cultural and economic centers. Within this highly sought-after community, however, opportunities to acquire a private residence directly on one of La Jolla's sandy beaches remain exceedingly limited.
7136 Vista del Mar Avenue offers a particularly distinctive expression of that lifestyle: a private coastal retreat where the architecture, lawn and elevated setting frame an uninterrupted relationship with the Pacific, while the cul-de-sac location provides an uncommon degree of seclusion.
For buyers seeking an exceptional La Jolla residence, the property represents not simply an oceanfront address, but a rare convergence of beach, privacy, architecture, landscape and surf culture.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that Russia has continued to strike Ukraine's energy facilities even after U.S. President Donald Trump said a day earlier that the warring countries had agreed on an energy ceasefire in the 4 1/2-year-old war.
Speaking at the Warsaw Security Forum in Poland, Zelenskyy said Ukraine had learned through media reports that Trump had secured an energy ceasefire deal with Russia which would involve a mutual pause in strikes on energy sites. Zelenskyy said he would be willing to honor such an agreement, if Moscow did the same.
“We support it, but I have not heard approval of this proposal from the Russian side,” Zelenskyy said.
Trump’s brief social media post on Sunday claiming the purported agreement offered few details but said that the energy ceasefire took effect immediately, adding: “Do not break it!”
Yet Zelenskyy said Ukraine had been “horribly surprised" that following Trump's "sudden but very important post,” Russia had struck numerous energy facilities including a power plant in the northeastern city of Kharkiv, as well as a gas production facility and a civilian gas station.
“It was clear that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin does not read Truth Social,” Zelenskyy said, referring to Trump's social media platform.
Trump previously announced a similar agreement on ceasing energy strikes that did not come to fruition. In a social media post on Sept. 14, he said both countries had agreed “not to hit” each other’s energy infrastructure, but offered no details on that proposal either.
Russia has used attacks on energy facilities in order to deny Ukrainian civilians power, heat and running water during the war, hoping to wear down public resistance to Moscow’s full-scale invasion. Ukrainian officials describe the strategy as “weaponizing winter," and fear Russia could ramp up such attacks as cold weather approaches.
Ukraine, meanwhile, has leveled strikes against Russian energy sites like oil refineries, sometimes deep within Russian territory, prompting Trump to blame Zelenskyy for high diesel prices on world markets. On Friday, Trump struck a deal with Putin to import Russian diesel in an attempt to address high fuel prices just weeks ahead of U.S. midterm elections.
On Monday, Zelenskyy said Kyiv was ready to comply with Trump's requests to stop striking Russian refineries if Moscow halted attacks on Ukraine’s energy system, and asked Trump to press the Kremlin to agree. He added that if Moscow does not agree to an energy ceasefire this winter, “we will respond.”
“We are waiting for the details of the conversation between the Americans and the Russians, and we are waiting to see what specific steps the Americans are ready to take," he said. “This energy ceasefire can work, and it can become a major step toward ending the war.”
The European Union’s top diplomat on Monday welcomed the prospect of a pause in energy strikes in Ukraine, particularly as winter approaches, but said she sees no sign that Russia would be willing to respect it.
“We haven’t yet seen that also Russia will stick to it,” EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said at a meeting of the bloc's foreign ministers in Luxembourg. “Personally, I would also welcome that the ceasefire would include people not being killed, not only energy.”
Ukrainian and European officials reacted with dismay to Trump's diesel deal with Putin, saying it will help fund Russia’s war effort.
Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna told reporters in Luxembourg on Monday that he doesn’t believe the deal “is actually going to change anything” in terms of fuel prices, and that it is ”much more connected to the domestic situation in the U.S."
Kallas, the EU's foreign policy chief, also pushed back on Trump's comments on Saturday that it was time for Ukraine to get a new president and that Zelenskyy has not done enough to end the war. She said that now is not the time to hold elections in Ukraine, at least not without a ceasefire.
On Monday, Zelenskyy said holding elections in Ukraine was impossible during war time, especially with new Russian tactics involving attacks during both the day and night.
“Under such circumstances, it’s impossible to hold elections,” he said, but added that he would be ready to work towards doing so if Ukraine secured a full ceasefire lasting at least 60 days.
A Russian drone attack on the village of Pisochyn in the Kharkiv district on Sunday evening killed three people and injured nine others, including children, according to the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
Investigators said the attack occurred at approximately 7:25 p.m., striking a densely populated area near apartment buildings and grocery stores and sparking a fire.
Ukrainian air defense forces shot down or suppressed 89 of 121 Russian drones overnight Monday, Ukraine’s Air Force said in a Telegram post. The attack involved one Kh-59 guided air-to-surface missile and 121 drones, including 76 jet-powered Shahed-type drones, the statement said.
Strikes were recorded at 15 locations in Ukraine, while debris from downed drones fell at four locations.
The Russian Defense Ministry on Monday said its air defenses overnight intercepted 151 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions as well as the illegally annexed Crimea and the waters of the Black Sea.
In a separate statement, the ministry said its forces overnight carried out drone strikes on Ukraine’s unspecified port infrastructure and a bulk carrier heading to Ukraine's port city of Odesa with military cargo on board.
