10-acre mini-compound in Monterey County: $599K
Think a charming 10-acre property with second-home, escape-the-city, vacation-getaway appeal has to cost you millions?
Apparently not: 1585 Elkhorn Road, which qualifies as all of the above in one mini-compound, asks for $599,000.
The 1920s property is in Royal Oaks, east of Elkhorn Slough.
On the 10-acre parcel are three structures: one designated as the "cottage," with a bed and bath; one little barn serving currently as an office-artist's studio; and a third standalone, diminutive building of indeterminate use.
The cottage, 456 square feet, features an open-floor plan.
The barn, roughly another 500 square feet, has ridge-cap skylights, plus floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking impressive gardens. Its walls are lined in bookshelves.
The interior of the third building is not pictured, but adds to the possibilities that abound here. With 10 acres and a little imagination, new buyers could do some amazing things with what already exists.
A gated entry adds privacy as well as the dramatic flourish such a property deserves.
Myriad walking trails, gardens, patios, picnic areas, flowers, and trees dot the capacious parcel, which is located in Royal Oaks.
The lot's southwestern orientation promises sunset views.
Royal Oaks, in Monterey County, is inland from the Elkhorn Slough.
This mini-compound last sold in 2002 for $399,000; today, that asking is $599,000.
