Description

Soulful 1970s Lodge-Style Home Above Cambria's West Village
Tucked away on Pine Knolls, this inviting 1970s lodge-style home captures the spirit of Big Sur living. Offering three bedrooms and two, three-quarter baths, the home provides ample space for privacy, work, and relaxation.

Inside, rich dark woods contrast beautifully with light walls, while brass and wood hardware, handmade castle-style doors, dark-beamed ceilings, and a rock fireplace create a timeless, rustic charm. All three bedrooms are located on the entry level, each offering peaceful garden views and glimpses of the ocean. There is a bath on each level for convenience.

Up the central staircase, the upper level unfolds into an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area. Multiple windows frame stunning ocean views and fill the home with natural light. Two exterior entrances connect to a cozy enclosed sun room and a furnished wraparound deck with two lounging areas perfect for soaking in the coastal beauty.

Whether you're seeking a serene getaway or a permanent retreat, this Cambria gem promises a life that is refreshing, relaxing, and deeply rewarding. Located above the West Village and just a couple of minutes down the hill to Main street where you'll find local shops, Coffee houses, restaurants, Wine Tasting, a Tap room, Thrift stores, art galleries, home furnishing and clothing shops and all that our local residents have to offer.

    "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."

    "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!"

    "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..... "

    "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."
