Walk to the beach from this PRIME location on the oceanside of side of Highway 1, in quaint Moss Landing village. You'll fall in love with this unique waterfront property with 2 houses. It's incredibly rare to find a house built so close to the ocean, on a wildlife estuary home to a variety of sea birds & otters. Watch your own private nature documentary out the window, fish from the couch, jump into the row boat docked right outside. Built back in the 1890's, the main house features open concept living & kitchen, 2 bedrooms, one full bath and one powder room + a bonus office space, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen with gorgeous rare marble countertops. A detached guest cottage built in the 1930's has been a successful rental for years. This 1/2 acre lot includes a large fenced in yard and parking your boat on the gated double concrete pad plus 6 parking spots in front. Whale watching, great restaurants, biking trails and the beach only 1 block away! Pride of ownership in this gem!

Enjoy the light and salt air while sipping your morning coffee on the Moro Cojo slough in historic Moss Landing. Wake up to herons and egrets in your backyard! Unusual property with interesting tenant history: Freeman "Whitey" Arbo, local Moss Landing Fisherman, lived here in the early 1900's. And the prior owner claimed an old friend of John Steinbeck's lived in the old travel trailer still on site and Steinbeck and he would have drinks there. Walk to restaurants and shops in Moss Landing. Surfing, kayaking, and soaking up the sun at the beach is just minutes away. Unique property with unique possibilities. Don't miss it!
