Enchantingly located on a cliffside some 250 feet above the Pacific, this 2001 residence served as a private getaway for songwriters Claire and George David Weiss. Constructed with reinforced concrete and high-strength laminated glass, the Steven Harris–designed refuge features two wings, totaling 7,500 square feet and containing five bedrooms. At the center lies a marvelous desert courtyard: Incorporating boulders found on-site and enlivened by a garden of succulents, this leisurely, convivial space offers a two-story outdoor living room and a cantilevered infinity pool with captivating views of the Baja Peninsula. Price: $10 million.
