4360 Opal Cliff Drive, SANTA CRUZ, CA 95062 (MLS # ML82042792)
|
Wake up to panoramic ocean views spanning Monterey Bay at the former home of surfing legend Jack O'Neill on one of the most sought-after oceanfront stretches on the California coast. The ultimate coastal lifestyle combining exclusive privacy with unparalleled walkability to local restaurants, coffee collectives, and world-class surf. Privates Beach, The Hook, Pleasure Point, and Capitola Village are all within walking distance. Some properties ask you to imagine the potential. This one hands it to you. One of the very few oceanfront homes with significant coastal bluff protections already in place, including a hard-armor concrete seawall, rip-rap revetment, and anti-erosion netting. 4360 Opal Cliff Drive offers you the unique ability to bypass the notoriously complex and costly coastal entitlement process with approved plans and building permits for a customizable remodel. Acquire the home, pick your finishes, and start building. The opportunity is rare and the possibilities are endless. 1) Enjoy the vintage beach charm. 2) Remodel the existing footprint with your personal touches. 3) Go big; add the ground floor primary suite and 3-car garage for a 5BR, 4.5BA, 4,220 SF oceanfront compound with multiple lounge areas and a semi-detached ADU for a flexible guest suite or office.
