The Estates at Trump National Golf Club will offer homebuyers elegance and opulence

What’s the going rate for having it all these days? If the total package means a custom estate with ocean views, access to an upscale golf course, 24/7 concierge service, guaranteed exclusivity and an uber-luxury lifestyle, there’s a spot on the Palos Verdes Peninsula worth checking out.

Put “it all” that way and the starting price of $5.2 million for a residence at The Estates at Trump National seems sort of reasonable — even, dare say, a pretty good deal. (Some estate prices are expected to exceed $15 million.) And the monthly HOA dues of $476 are an outright bargain.

A new phase of six home sites is on sale at what’s destined to become one of the West Coast’s premier enclaves. Real estate mogul and budding golf course developer Donald Trump’s company is constructing the custom residences.

They’ll range from 6,000 to more than 15,000 square feet, reflect classic Spanish, Tuscan, Mediterranean, Greek, Roman or French architecture, and come with ocean views to Catalina Island. Just 50 estates will be built, making for a cozy community.

Part of the deal means teeing it up at Trump National Golf Club and its white-marble bunkers, miles of shoreline and tucked-away greens. An operating agreement with the city of Rancho Palos Verdes says Trump must keep it public, but project broker Andrew Lemke notes that special golf packages are in the works for estate buyers.

Still having trouble buying into The Estates as having it all? Take it from The Donald, who, with his usual understatement, clarifies in a press release: “For the privileged and fortunate few who expect only the very best, an Estate at Trump National Golf Club signifies the attainment of the highest level of success. Each homeowner will enjoy a lifestyle usually reserved for the guests of the world’s finest hotels.”

So, buddy, can you spare a dime? (Repeat 49 million times).
