THE HISTORY
Originally subdivided by George & Elinor Holstein in 1951, 2600 Mesa Drive sits at the most optimal location along Mesa Drive.
G.M. Holstein originally developed homes in Beverly Hills for motion picture stars but went on to gain national attention for building the nearby community of The Bluffs, also in Newport Beach. The current owner of 2600 Mesa Drive has owned the property for the last 47 years. The home has also played host to President Gerald Ford, Vice President Dan Quayle, Presidential Candidate Bob Cole, California Governors Pete Wilson and George Deukmejian among others.
The home’s paramount location atop the Back Bay to locals or officially the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve and Ecological Reserve is one of California’s last estuaries (salt water meets fresh water). Home to over 200 endangered species and 35,000 migratory birds including geese, Egrets and Blue Heron, the Back Bay boasts 1,000 acres of preserved wetlands and is famous for the water skiing adventures of Jack Kemp and served as training for the Olympic Rowing Team.
