A truly rare opportunity. First settled 156 years ago by Captain Charlie Moss, this extraordinary 86.9-acre property lies along the banks of Elkhorn Slough, within sight of the harbor, jetty, and Monterey Bay, a protected marine sanctuary and one of the top birdwatching destinations in the country, recognized by Audubon as Top 10 nationwide. In the early 1870s, Moss sold the property to the current family, and together they helped establish Moss Landing. They built a 200 foot long wharf, that launched the local fishing industry and supported regional agriculture shipping products north to San Francisco and south to Los Angeles. After more than a century and a half, the property is ready for its next steward. A local treasure. Structures include: Main residence approx. 3,500 sq. ft. (4 bed/3 bath); Second residence approx. 2,300 sq. ft. (2 bed/2 bath + 2-car garage); Third residence approx. 1,700 sq. ft. (2 bed/2 bath); Fourth cottage approx. 600 sq. ft. (1 bed/1 bath). Additionally, a 4,400 sq. ft. barn (55 x 80), original machine shop, original cabin/studio w/kitchen & bath (not in use), and four additional outbuildings. Approx. 3,518 linear feet of Elkhorn Slough frontage with areas ideal for observing sea otters, birdwatching, and enjoying the natural setting. Current owner/occupants will also consider creative purchase options. Talking and brainstorming is free.
