About this House

This home makes the most of its location as it reaches for the sky through the trees giving it a nice little peek of ocean view from the living and dining rooms. The living area and the primary bedroom, are on the top level, where the sunshine filters in through manicured oak trees. The large open concept living area has vaulted wood ceilings, wood floors, fireplace, light filled dining area and spacious kitchen cornering an entire section of the room. A six burner wolf range faces the dining area so you can cook and still be a part of the goings on. Decks can be found on both sides of the living area, one for views to the sea and one overlooking the charming backyard. The primary bedroom has a sunny window seat and a large walk-in closet. Downstairs are two guest bedrooms, both have walk-in closets, an additional full bathroom and a very large family room. The family room is a remarkable space for hanging out with an area for lounging, and perhaps an area for a game table! The backyard is a lovely sunny spot to garden or relax in the covered deck area, there is a tool shed in one corner. There is an inside laundry room plus a two car garage at this property. Located near the Strawberry Canyon hiking trails on the south side of Lodge Hill and close to the beach. Get away from the hustle and bustle to this quiet location in the trees, yet close enough to enjoy coastline activities. This home has a license to be a vacation rental.

    "Cambria is great, the school is small, people are friendly. It’s mostly old people around. There’s lots of great restaurants to go to and the beach is amazing."
  • Cheryl B.
    "This is a very friendly and safe neighborhood. Living amongst the trees and wildlife next to the ocean is paradise."
  • Debbie T.
    "There were a couple of very creepy guys with painted faces cruising the neighborhood in the middle of the day. "
  • Alan
    "Affordable California coastal living. Not over crowded or over priced like southern or northern parts of California coast."
  • redlee1944
    "Pines by the Sea. No rush, slow living at it's best. You can be very active or just sit and read a book on the boardwalk by the ocean."
  • Jan L. B.
    "My parents bought in Cambria in 1977 and I love this neighborhood! You are so close to the ocean, to Cambria's West Village, to Moonstone Beach boardwalk and the Fiscalini Ranch which is a great place to walk, hike or bike! Beautiful ocean and coastal views. Lovely climate!"
  • slo d.
    "locals will take your money for rent but will not do business with you unless you are 'local.' before you buy find out how many business have closed in Cambria they call it camalot and "cringe at ANY national publicity" "
  • AmericaStayFree
    "We have stayed here, vacationed here, and love it. Maybe couples in the 30's need a bigger night life, but beyond that, it's a beautiful place to live and enjoy life. Get away from it all. The best restaurants, shopping, farmer's market, car shows, wineries, NICE people because they love where they live. Seacllift Estates is a beautiful area in Cambria......open, private, and the ocean right there. Didn't know how to rate traffic above, because there is NO TRAFFIC..... "
  • Linda F.
    "the natural beauty in Cambria is truly stunning! it is a very protected environment with regard to it's wilderness, including the oceans and shorelines. it is an incredibly family friendly and community oriented. both east and west villiages, as well as Moonstone beach, are the perfect definition of quaint and lovely. and residents are welcoming to new people who move there, as long as they are conscious to be respectful of both people and the natural environment. it's good for singles who don't want a lot of nightlife and choose a more quiet, artistic, farmer's market, and charming town to call home. we lived there and loved it. we even got married there. i worked in Cambria as the managing innkeeper for a historic bed and breakfast. we are moving back as soon as we can."
