6 California Coastal and Mountain View Estates from Santa Cruz to Fort Bragg

Along the water’s edge above Seabright Beach, this four-unit residential property takes in an unobstructed 180-degree sweep of Monterey Bay. Set on the bluff in Santa Cruz’s highly desirable Seabright neighborhood—also known to some as “Fresno Beach”—the outlook defines daily life here, from quiet morning light to vivid sunrises and sunsets over the coastline. The setting is thoughtfully removed from high tides and wave action, with no need for “Rip Rap” to protect the shoreline, bluff, or slope. A nearby stairway leads down to the sand, making spontaneous beach walks and lingering evenings by the water feel like part of the routine. With its multi-residence layout, it lends itself naturally as a coastal retreat or shared compound, and a long-view investment in an exceptional location.

The primary bedroom sits on the main floor, with an ensuite jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and walk-in closets; a balcony just outside invites morning coffee with a view. A separate 275 sq ft guest studio—complete with a bathroom and fireplace—is connected by a stone patio. In the kitchen, granite counters, a Subzero refrigerator, gas appliances, a warmer oven, and a built-in hutch keep everyday living elegantly composed, moments from the Pebble Beach gate.
