A few hundred steps from the sandy trail to Manresa State Beach, opportunity is knocking in La Selva. Once upon a time there were plans to transform the existing house into a garage and build a new home at the rear of the property to take advantage of the available ocean views at the back of the parcel. You can reignite that dream and go big with the transformation or simply work with the existing footprint and invest some much-needed TLC into the grounds. Set on a generous parcel in one of the area's most sought-after coastal communities, 1459 San Andreas Rd offers a rare combination of location, land, and potential. Imagine starting your morning with a walk to the beach, spending afternoons enjoying the coastal air, and creating a property that reflects your vision. Whether you're an ambitious builder looking to bring a larger vision to life or a buyer seeking a beach-close retreat with room to improve, this is a property worth exploring. The existing home provides a starting point, while the rear of the parcel presents an exciting opportunity to capture ocean views and maximize the property's potential. Bring your ideas, your vision, and your contractor - La Selva is calling.
