Property Description
An exceptional opportunity to invest in a truly unique and historic landmark, recently restored to reflect the grandeur of its original 19th-century architecture. Built in 1876 by Captain Cass, the iconic Cass House sits on an approximately 30,000 sq ft (0.68-acre) estate, zoned for both commercial and residential use—offering significant potential for hospitality, retail, events, or private residential purposes. A cornerstone of Cayucos, the Cass House serves as a destination attracting a diverse clientele—from those exploring the scenic California coastline to wine enthusiasts visiting the nearby Paso Robles region. Care was taken to preserve the property’s original architecture, ensuring its historic charm and character remain intact by meticulously attention to detail, featuring historically accurate fixtures and preserved original elements, including floor planks, stair balusters, and window shutters—creating a refined and elegant retreat. Situated on a prominent corner lot accessible from both 149 Cayucos Drive and 222 N. Ocean Avenue, this rare offering blends rich history, coastal proximity, and strong commercial potential within a thriving seaside community. Potentially a turnkey hospitality destination: a B&B, an artisanal bakery, a stylish bar and grill, and events venue, retreats, and weddings—all located in the heart of Cayucos, just one block from the ocean. Several distinct structures: main house, bar & grill, and bakery with an outdoor pavilion, cold & dry storage, public restrooms, on-site parking, and gardens ideal for farm-to-table dining experiences. The main residence features five en-suite bedrooms, a welcoming reception area, banquet room, formal dining room, and a commercial-grade kitchen. Outdoors: a picturesque wedding arbor and expansive lawn for events, separate guest house accommodations or space for on-site management. The fully equipped restaurant space, includes a wood-fired oven, professional-grade kitchen, full bar, and an alfresco dining pavilion with retractable coverings. The Bijou Bakery is currently operating under a month-to-month lease, with flexibility to renegotiate terms or reposition the space. The property "SOLD AS IS" including FFE. *Ownership of this remarkable property invites vision, dedication, and passion to fully realize its potential. A premier hospitality destination or a private coastal estate, The Cass House is a rare opportunity to own a distinguished piece of California history!
