Tucked away from the main road and nestled on 2.13 acres of pristine oceanfront bluff, this special oceanside cottage is a rare and extraordinary opportunity to own a true piece of history. Owned by the same family for almost 50 years, this peaceful haven once served as the coastal getaway for acclaimed author Ken Kesey, who came here to write, reflect, and spend cherished time with his family. Now, this legacy property is ready to inspire it's next chapter. Perched above the breathtaking Pacific, this private retreat offers unmatched views of the sea, sky, and rugged shoreline — a front row seat to nature’s ever changing drama. The cozy, well-maintained and very much loved cottage, features a light-filled living room and kitchen with wall to wall windows that frame panoramic ocean views. Watch flocks of seabirds soar, explore nearby tidepools at low tide, and soak in glorious sunsets from the comfort of your home. A wood-burning stove adds warmth and rustic charm, perfect for coastal evenings. Originally designed as a two-bedroom, one-bath home, the garage was thoughtfully converted into a spacious third bedroom, ideal for guests or creative use. The expansive, double-lot property offers over two acres of oceanfront potential — imagine adding a guest house, new garage, or expanded living space, all with incredible views. Located between the vibrant coastal towns of Florence and Yachats, this location is a dream — quiet, yet close to public beach access and world-renowned hiking trails. With a newer roof and fresh exterior paint, this home is move-in ready while also offering room to make it uniquely yours. Whether you keep it as a warm and nostalgic retreat or modernize it to suit your vision, this beautiful cottage is a rare gem waiting for its next story to be written.
