Description

Set across approximately 8 private acres in the redwood-lined seclusion of Palo Colorado Canyon, this offering presents a rare canvas for visionary redevelopment in one of the Central Coasts most atmospheric settings. Towering trees, usable land, and natural serenity define the environment, providing a compelling foundation for a future estate, retreat, or bespoke architectural expression. Existing artisan-style structures contribute character to the landscape; however, the property is best approached...Set across approximately 8 private acres in the redwood-lined seclusion of Palo Colorado Canyon, this offering presents a rare canvas for visionary redevelopment in one of the Central Coasts most atmospheric settings. Towering trees, usable land, and natural serenity define the environment, providing a compelling foundation for a future estate, retreat, or bespoke architectural expression. Existing artisan-style structures contribute character to the landscape; however, the property is best approached as a project opportunity. Improvements will require permitting, compliance work, or redevelopment, and buyers should independently investigate requirements and feasibility with Monterey County. The grounds offer multiple flat and functional areas suitable for planning, expansion, or new construction potential. Ideal for investors, builders, or end-users seeking to craft a legacy property from the ground up.
