Tucked away in one of the most desirable coastal enclaves of Cambria, this charming single level, 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a slice of the Central Coast lifestyle on an expansive 8,500+ square foot lot. Located on the southern edge of Lodge Hill near the Rancho Marino preserve and only moments from the scenic shoreline, quaint village shops and local dining, this home perfectly captures the relaxed small-town charm that makes Cambria so sought after.
The home itself exudes warmth and character, with a cozy footprint that invites comfortable living or a peaceful weekend retreat. This welcoming cottage is in excellent condition and features quality wood laminate flooring, vaulted wood ceilings, efficient free-standing Franklin gas fireplace, double pane windows and a Tesla battery energy storage system for power outages. But what truly sets this property apart is the oversized lot—an exceptional find in this area! With ample space surrounding the home, there is exciting potential for expansion, whether you envision adding an ocean-view second story (check with county planning), creating outdoor living spaces, or designing your own private garden oasis.
This home feels special. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Central Coast, including nearby Moonstone Beach and the iconic Fiscalini Ranch Preserve, this property combines tranquility with opportunity. Whether you're looking to enjoy it as-is or unlock its full potential, this is a unique chance to create something special in one of California’s most picturesque seaside communities.
