Massive Ocean View Acreage in Half Moon Bay Acreage inside Half Moon Bay city limits is rare. Acreage with sweeping 180-degree ocean views is rarer still. This 52+ acre offering delivers both. The lower portion roughly 3 acres is easily accessible off a paved road, with power already on the property and sewer at the street. From there the land rises to an upper expanse commanding uninterrupted Pacific panoramas stretching from Pillar Point south past downtown Half Moon Bay and out to the horizon. Coastal bluffs, rolling open land, and a view that simply doesn't come to market. A generational holding on the San Mateo Coastside, minutes from town, the harbor, and world-class beaches, and less than an hour to Silicon Valley. Opportunities of this scale and setting inside city limits are, quite simply, finite.
