Property Description
A rare opportunity awaits! Build your custom dream home on one of the last remaining oceanfront lots along the stunning Monterey Bay Coastline. Nestled directly on the sand and mere steps from the ocean, this lot is located within the exclusive, gated community of Rio Surf and Sands. Imagine designing a home that offers unobstructed ocean views, the soothing sounds of waves, and breathtaking sunsets every evening. A geotechnical report has been completed and utilities are present making the building process a little bit easier.
