A rare opportunity awaits! Build your custom dream home on one of the last remaining oceanfront lots along the stunning Monterey Bay Coastline. Nestled directly on the sand and mere steps from the ocean, this lot is located within the exclusive, gated community of Rio Surf and Sands. Imagine designing a home that offers unobstructed ocean views, the soothing sounds of waves, and breathtaking sunsets every evening. A geotechnical report has been completed and utilities are present making the building process a little bit easier. This property is situated among some of the most highly valued real estate in all of Santa Cruz County. Why settle for an older beach home when you can build something new, modern, and long-lasting at a lower investment? For those seeking a unique family compound or a legacy property, the adjacent lot is also available for purchase. Enjoy miles of sandy beaches, dine at nearby restaurants, or simply relax in your seaside retreat. Embrace the opportunity to design and build your dream beach home in one of the most sought-after coastal communities.
