Come by Saturday for Italian Handmade Pizza - 180-Degree Monterey Bay Views and an Organic Strawberry Farm in La Selva Beach. Set atop a bluff and reimagined in 2023, the home opens on its defining feature: Monterey Bay catching the last light from the living room, kitchen, and patio alike, the sky changing color over the water in a way that's hard to look away from. Inside, the living room's Jerusalem stone fireplace anchors one side; sliding glass doors with automated blinds on the other frame the sunset over the bay, with Sonos Sound throughout. The kitchen carries the same intention with quartzite counters, an oversized island, Thermador appliances, a pot filler, and beverage drawers. The primary suite is its own retreat: a fireplace, oversized walk-in closet, a steam shower, and a deep soaking tub with book-matched tile. French oak floors carry that same quiet polish throughout. Three of the property's 10.37 acres are a working organic strawberry farm. Undeveloped land beyond it could become a private resort, with potential to add a pool, helicopter pad, or more gardens (buyer to verify). A three-car garage with its own EV charger handles daily use, a separate 25-by-45 steel shop adds room for five more cars, and a bocce court rounds out the patio.
