One of the most important historical and timeless estates found along the California Riviera, 'Cliff Cote' and 'Gate Cote' were developed in the 1930s by the renowned Proctor family of Proctor and Gamble fame. Perched majestically above the crashing surf on a premier Three Arch Bay ocean front lot, the main residence and separate guest residence have been meticulously maintained and improved through the decades. Interior spaces combine period materials, design, and detailing with appropriate modern elements, resulting in an elegant and wonderfully livable environment. Ample exterior gardens, observatory decks, and terraces provide unusual privacy and generous space for entertaining and outdoor ocean front living.rnrnFeatured in several historical publications, the property emblemizes the Provincial Revival style, specifically French Normandy. The half-timbering, clipped gables and multiple dormers are indicative of that architectural style. Interestingly, the pervasive reclaimed brick utilized in the serpentine garden wall, arches, chimney, and terraces and outdoor stairs was salvaged from a condemned commercial building in nearby Long Beach, after the 1933 earthquake.rnrnGeneral H.N. Proctor copied the architectural details and structure of the home and its companion guest house from a residence in France, where he was billeted during World War I. Exact plans of the French home were drawn. The European style manor was built on the Southern California prime ocean front parcel. Subsequent to General Proctor's death, the property rented for many years to a number of notables, including The Aga Khan, seascape artist Bennett Bradbury, and the Baroness de Beaumileaus. rnrn'Cliff Cote' and 'Gate Cote' comprise a true one-of-a-kind, landmark estate.
