Three multimillion-dollar mansions appear to be teetering off the edge of a California cliff after recent landslides eroded what was once their backyard, according to video taken by a local news helicopter.
Heavy rains wash away part of a cliff that houses a luxury home estimated to be worth up to $15.9 million, video shows. Captured by ABC7 helicopter is shown.
A large pile of dirt, sand, and rocks sits at the base of a beach cliff below the homes at the top of Scenic Drive in Dana Point.
“If I lived in a house like that, I would be worried,” Dana Point resident Jean Cocchiara told local news outlets. “We don’t know if the hill has been damaged by development.”
But the city of Dana Point inspected all three homes and found no unsafe conditions, ABC7 reported.
One of the homeowners also told police that his home was safe and had not been “red tagged” by the city.
Dana Point City Manager Mike Killebrew also said access to the beach below, where the debris currently lies, is fine.
“No structures are at risk at this time and access to the side beaches does not appear to be affected,” he said. told the Orange County Register.
The three adjacent homes are estimated to be worth about $15.9 million, $14.1 million and $12.9 million each, according to real estate firm Redfin.
Over the past few days, powerful storms have caused numerous landslides across Southern California.
