You won't believe the views from this one-of-a-kind property overlooking the ocean and the famed Elkhorn Slough! Perched on a bluff midway between Monterey and Santa Cruz, set amid working lettuce and strawberry fields, this 5-bedroom 1950s ranch home has commanding views of the tidal wetlands—a haven for birds, otters, seals and other wildlife. From here you can fish, whale watch, kayak, or explore some of the most lovely beaches in California—and you're just minutes from Moss Landing, a quaint beach town known for great seafood restaurants, cafes and galleries. Enter and step down to the ocean view living room with a leather sofa and chairs facing a large fireplace. Immediately adjacent, the family room has a second fireplace, a large TV, a game table that seats four, and access to a brick courtyard with chairs for lounging and a pergola for shade. There's also a grassy yard and a second patio with an upholstered sectional, a firepit, a Genesis gas barbecue, and a table and chairs for outdoor dining. The property's history as a working ranch home is apparent in the rustic, mid-Century decor: miles of redwood paneling, vintage tile, and extensive use of brick and flagstone. The ranch style kitchen has a dining table for eight (with leaf), a five-burner electric cooktop, built-in double ovens, and a restaurant-style refrigerator. A second refrigerator with top freezer is located in the adjoining laundry room, which doubles as a second prep kitchen. The home has five bedrooms and four full baths. There are four bedrooms and three baths in the main house; the separate guest cottage is in back. The master suite—with garden, ocean and estuary views—has a King bed, a mirrored dressing area, extensive closets, and an en suite bath with a shower and a walk-in tub. The adjoining workout room has a built-in ballet barre (bring your exercise mats!). The other three bedrooms (Queen, Double, and two XL twins) share two full baths with showers: one bath is located in the hall; the other is adjacent to the kitchen and laundry room. The private guest cottage has a Queen bed, TV, leather chair, window seat, and a kitchenette. There's bar seating for two along with a four-burner electric range, an apartment size refrigerator, and a petite Cuisinart coffee maker. Located at the end of a palm-lined drive, this is the perfect home for lovers of the outdoors and a great base to explore all the natural wonders of the Monterey Peninsula. Up to two dogs accepted with prior screening at https://monterey.petscreening.com  Closest beaches: Moss Landing State Beach (0.9 miles) and Zmudowski State Beach (2.8 miles).   Monthly discount available.

    Wonderful ranch style older home with some remodeling— so comfortable! Well stocked. So much room inside and out for our grand littles (6, 4, 19 months) to interact and play. Roomy bedrooms, particularly the master—-so nice!! 4 upgraded bathrooms. Well located for visits to the beach, Pacific Grove, Monterey, Santa Cruz!!Hoping to return annually! No need for us to find anything else. I would give it a 10 if I could..

    Capurro Ranch is a stunning home set in an incredibly picturesque setting. While there was so much to do in the area, one could literally spend a day or two just hanging out at this house enjoying the view all day. The view is beautiful from all angles and needs some time to take in. Bring your binoculars!Our group was fairly large and this sprawling home was more than comfortable for the lot of us. There is even a mini dance studio we used for dance parties for our kids. The kitchen is very well equipped which is good because we cooked most of our meals. The home owner was gracious enough to stop by to say hi and make sure we were enjoying everything, but did not intrude.When you do feel like leaving the property there is lots of outdoor activities to do at the beach or in Elkhorn Slough. Moss Landing and the area has some good restaurant options so you won't be stuck in the car too long when out for the day.

    We had a group of six. Bedrooms and bathrrom accommodations were perfect. The property is gorgeous and the location is about 30 mins from seaside/Monterey. Property Manager is responsive in case of issues. Highly recommend!

    5 of us traveled to Monterey for Car Week 2024. Our stay in the house was awesome. Very clean and Frank was a fabulous host. This is the second time our group has stayed in this house and we will definitely be back. Thanks Frank!!

    We thoroughly loved our visit to the Capurro Ranch. It was a beautiful, comfortable home. Very quiet, very clean. Lots of parking. Easy rules to follow. Very little to do before checkout - I really appreciate this. It’s necessary to drive everywhere but very close (driving distance) to beach, kayak rentals, restaurants, fruit stands. Close to Monterey and Carmel for day visits - so much to do. Can’t wait to return!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Capurro Ranch. The property was clean and well-maintained, and the views from the property were nothing short of amazing. The location is great; secluded enough to feel private but still close to restaurants and activities. The birdwatchers in our group had plenty to get excited about. The property manager was responsive and easy to work with. Overall, I highly recommend this property.

    The brown paneling evokes so many treasured memories for My group of 60 plus gals. We all grew up in 70’s Ranch Style just like this. Thanx for the Flashbacks.

    We loved this house! It’s utterly unique, both in location and design. The adjacency and views of the Elkhorn Slough are spectacular! We saw sea otters, seals, and thousands of birds through the windows in the dining and living rooms. We hiked and kayaked. We visited breweries and wineries. We spent a day at the Monterey Aquarium. We cooked great meals, played fun board games, and enjoyed family time. We used the grill and fire pit, very nice. We wished a bit for more king beds (we were four couples), but that’s a very minor issue. We give this house the highest marks!!!
