Set across approximately 8 private acres in the redwood-lined seclusion of Palo Colorado Canyon, this offering is being sold strictly for land value and redevelopment potential. The property currently has an active Monterey County code enforcement citation, and all existing structures are red-tagged and deemed uninhabitable by Monterey County. No structures may be occupied or used in their present condition. All improvements on site will require extensive permitting, compliance work, and County approvals to address violations. Buyers should expect a significant regulatory process, which may include full remediation, reconstruction, or complete demolition of existing structures, subject to County requirements. The property is best suited for experienced investors, contractors, or buyers prepared to navigate Monterey Countys planning and building departments. The land itself offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and multiple usable areas beneath mature redwoods, creating long-term potential for a future residence or retreat once approvals are obtained. Buyer to independently verify all development possibilities, permitting pathways, timelines, and costs with Monterey County.
