Set behind the gates of Big Canyon, one of Newport Beach's most sought-after guard-gated communities, 2 Rue Biarritz sits elevated above the 6th fairway on one of the neighborhood's quietest stretches. Built from the ground up in 2021, this five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath residence spans more than 4,000 square feet, the first true new construction among Big Canyon's Rue streets in more than a decade. Soaring two-story ceilings and overhead skylights fill the main level with natural light, and the kitchen, bar, living room, and dining room flow together as one continuous space. An expansive stone fireplace anchors the living room, while walls of glass frame views across the newly renovated fairway, the elevated position delivering the outlook without sacrificing privacy. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is appointed for the serious cook, with a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, a Wolf six-burner range with double ovens, and a dedicated wine refrigerator. A generous breakfast bar seats five and opens naturally to the surrounding gathering spaces. A first-floor primary suite serves as a private retreat, with a spa-like bathroom featuring a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and an oversized walk-in closet. Four additional en-suite bedrooms provide ample space for family and guests, and a spacious laundry room with a utility sink completes the interior. Designed for indoor-outdoor living, the backyard is a resort-style escape: an negative-edge pool and spa with a fire feature, complemented by an outdoor kitchen with overhead heaters ideal for entertaining well past sunset and into the cooler months. The 2021 build also brought a full suite of home automation, including a sound system inside and out, eleven motorized skylights that close automatically at the first sign of rain, and remote and app-controlled window treatments, lighting, retractable screens, and awning. Big Canyon centers on the private Big Canyon Country Club and offers residents seclusion just minutes from Fashion Island, top-rated schools, the beaches of Newport and Corona del Mar, John Wayne Airport, and major freeways.
