The Oceanfront Hacienda is a historical Spanish villa that was built by San Clemente founder Ole Hanson in 1929, just one year after he officially established the city. His dream was that of a “Spanish Village by the Sea” and he built the Hacienda with that dream at the forefront of his mind.
The Hacienda has undergone major restoration by its owners to bring it back to its original grandeur and charm and it perfectly encapsulates the vision on which San Clemente was founded. Located right across from the San Clemente Pier, come stay with us and travel to another time and place as you enjoy the crashing waves and gorgeous sunsets of San Clemente!
“I vision a place where people can live together more pleasantly than any other place in America. I am going to build a beautiful city on the ocean, where the whole city is a park. The architecture will be of one type, and homes will be built on sites where nearly everyone will have their view preserved forever. The whole picture is very clear to me. I can see hundreds of white walled homes bonneted with red tile with trees, palms, and flowers lining the drives. I can see sidewalks of red Spanish tile and streets curving picturesquely over the land. I want plazas, playgrounds, a school, a pool, a golf course, a fishing pier and a beach enlivened with people getting a healthy joy out of life.”
— Ole Hanson, founder of San Clemente, 1925
