Wake up to beautiful sunrises over an open valley, birdsong, and the quiet rhythm of country living in this private two-story cottage set on 7.5 peaceful acres in La Selva Beach. Tucked away from the road and surrounded by open space, the cottage offers a rare sense of tranquility and privacy, while still being just minutes from the coast and nearby town amenities. Cottage was previously a vacation rental featured in travel blogs. Located within approximately one mile walking distance to the beach, you won't have ocean views, but on larger surf days you can hear the waves rolling in a subtle reminder of how close you are to the shoreline. The setting feels secluded and restorative, ideal for someone who values calm mornings, fresh air, and a slower pace, without feeling isolated. The cottage features its own driveway and dedicated parking, providing separation from the main residence also located on the property. With expansive land around you, open valley views, and space to garden, this home is perfectly suited for someone seeking a simple, peaceful coastal-country lifestyle. Ideal for a true minimalist. The space is very functional but small. If you have a lot of things this is NOT the perfect space for you.
