Surf House sits at the edge of one of the most beautiful, wild, and biologically diverse treasures in the world- the Monterey Bay. Designed by Feldman Architecture and Commune Design, this award winning home fits into the coastline as if created by nature's hand. Lovingly crafted from reclaimed and repurposed Monterey Cypress, the refined elegance of this two-story home reflects the natural world, and the culture and values of the world-renowned neighborhood in which it resides. Heartwood from Monterey Cypress was integrated into all aspects of Surf House's design. The resplendent floors, paneling and cabinetry glow in the natural sunlight that illumines this gloriously tranquil home. Surf House is roughly 700 feet to access stairs leading to The Hook, one of many nearby crown jewels in the Santa Cruz World Surfing Reserve. A few of many highlights include a chef's kitchen, an outdoor kitchen, a copper jacuzzi, an infrared sauna, and a surfboard room with wet bar, overlooking a private courtyard with a fireplace. From the front courtyard through the cascading floor to ceiling-high doors of the Great Room, there are stunning views, and vibrant life-affirming rhythms of the Bay- a paradise of solace, an entertainers playground, a sanctuary of inspiration and peace.

Let's start with the obvious: whoever designed this house refused to waste a single ocean view. Every room was thoughtfully positioned to capture the water. Sitting in the living room? Ocean. Cooking in the kitchen? Ocean. Gathered around the dining table? Still ocean. Large windows pull the coastline into the home so the views are part of everyday life. The kitchen & dining area may have the best seats in the house. Cooking dinner here means watching the waves roll in while the sky slowly shifts toward sunset. High-end appliances, a wine fridge & thoughtful upgrades make the space as functional as it is beautiful. Step out onto the spacious deck & the view opens up even more. It's perfect for morning coffee, evening wine, or simply letting the sound of the ocean do its thing. When you're ready for the sand, private steps lead down toward the beach. The Point is just down the street ready for some surf. Another rare bonus: after nearly two years of work, Coastal Commission approval has been secured to re-stack the shoreline rocks, something many coastal homes never get. And yes sunsets here are exactly as good as you're hoping they are.

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.

The kitchen & living room open together toward the water, so most of life ends up happening right there, cooking dinner, catching up with friends, or just watching the horizon change colors as the sun drops. Big windows keep the ocean in view no matter where youre sitting & radiant heat beneath the engineered hardwood floors keeps everything comfortable, even on those cooler coastal days. Out back, the yard was designed to actually be used. Turf, fencing & a fire pit make it the natural gathering place once the sun goes down & the sound of the waves carry up the bluff. Life here includes riding bikes along East Cliff, strolling down to the beach with a board under your arm, coffee nearby & evenings at the neighborhood park. And for the practical side of oceanfront living, the home shares a maintained seawall with Coastal Commission approval for ongoing upkeep. It's the kind of place people come to unplug & quietly end up staying for decades.

If you are searching for a protected coastal property in Santa Cruz County, it will be tough to find a better deal. With a seawall out back and some of California's best surfing visible out of almost every room, you might be waiting a lifetime to find a similar view and coastal lifestyle in this price range. The kitchen & living room open together toward the water, so most of life ends up happening right there, cooking dinner, catching up with friends, or just watching the horizon change colors as the sun drops. Big windows keep the ocean in view no matter where youre sitting & radiant heat beneath the engineered hardwood floors keeps everything comfortable, even on those cooler coastal days. Out back, the yard was designed to actually be used. Turf, fencing & a fire pit make it the natural gathering place once the sun goes down & the sound of the waves carry up the bluff. Life here includes riding bikes along East Cliff, strolling down to the beach with a board under your arm, coffee nearby & evenings at the neighborhood park. And for the practical side of oceanfront living, the home shares a maintained seawall with Coastal Commission approval for ongoing upkeep. It's the kind of place people come to unplug & quietly end up staying for decades.
