A once in a generation oceanfront opportunity at the literal point of Pleasure Point. This property has the potential to become one of the most extraordinary homes in the county. Positioned on 8,886 square feet of oceanfront land, this remarkable parcel is surrounded by the Pacific on three sides, with sweeping 200-degree views across Monterey Bay. Dolphins move through the lineup below, whales pass in the distance, and the surfers at Sewer Peak are close enough to recognize from the deck. The setting feels dramatic, private, and completely immersed in the rhythm of the coastline. What makes this offering so rare is the flexibility of what can be created here. Conceptual renderings by Fuse Architecture showcase the vision of a striking modern surf house designed specifically for the site, with expansive glass, rooftop living, and spaces oriented entirely toward the ocean. The existing residence also presents the opportunity for a thoughtful renovation or refinement, allowing the next owner to shape the property around their own vision and lifestyle. With coastal permits, architecture, and seawall approvals already in place, the path is open to create something truly special at Californias most celebrated point break, where the ocean is not simply the view, but the backyard.

What would it feel like to come home to this? Set on half an acre backing directly to the 14th hole at Pasatiempo, a Top 100 golf course in the U.S., this home has been rebuilt around the view. Vaulted ceilings and a fireplace anchor the living room, while a wall of accordion doors folds completely away, opening beneath a stand of redwoods to a deck that seems to hover over the fairway. Mornings begin with coffee and a quiet course, light moving across the grass as deer, foxes, wild turkeys, bunnies, hawks, and even eagles pass through the landscape. Its a rare connection to nature that makes the setting feel different every day. Inside, generous counters and natural light make the kitchen an easy place to gather. Evenings settle in around the fire or on the lower patio, where two bocce courts invite you to stay outside a little longer. For all the open green beyond the glass, the setting still feels remarkably private. Highway 17 is minutes away, the beach is within easy reach, and one of the country's top golf courses is quite literally your backyard. A home designed for slowing down, entertaining well, and enjoying an extraordinary setting every day.

Unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and Monterey Bay from this exquisite home located in the desirable Westlake community. No expense was spared when completely remodeled in 1998. Tile, granite, marble and only the best in fixtures throughout. Main level of the home consists of the living room with fireplace, family room, dining area, kitchen, primary bedroom with bathroom, second bedroom, second bathroom and laundry room. An enchanting staircase leads downstairs to an additional living room with fireplace, bar area, third bedroom and bathroom. Large, expansive decks off both levels with spectacular views along with your own putting green. Too many features to list. See for yourself.
