In our never ending quest to find the ultimate San Francisco surf pad, we were delighted to see one of our favorite oceanfront homes hit the market recently, 2534 Great Highway.
It’s not everyday you can buy one of the few homes on the Great Highway that easily clear the sand dunes to enjoy unobstructed (save for a little fog 4 months out of the year) views of easily the best surf spot in all of Northern California, Ocean Beach (we may be fibbing a bit on that comment, but go with the fantasy). If we weren’t Realtors working in a recession fueled by real estate, we’d snatch this 3 bed, 2.5 bath, $1,299,000 baby up in a second.
But we are Realtors, and the market has a long ways to go for a complete rebound, so we’ll just come crash your parties, and install a nice little surf cam on your roof. We promise nobody will know the location and you too can live the dream of being a San Francisco surfer (or wannabe). You’d even be (close) neighbors with the owners/founders of the Beach Chalet/Park Chalet, so maybe you’d get a free pint or two post surf to wash away the salt water…
Guess it’s time to get back on the blogging wagon and go fishin, cuz $1,299,000 ain’t happenin for us any time soon! Have we mentioned our fresh lime margaritas?

Believe it or not, San Francisco has a couple beaches that actually have a beach scene, but if you want to really feel the beachy vibe, head on over the Golden Gate Bridge to Stinson Beach. (Make sure to pack a sweater, and ignore the bone chilling water and gigantic man-eating sharks that frequent the waters.)
As it turns out, it seems there is a bit of a “discount” on property up there and the agents holding many of the listings want you to know about it:
Fellow Agents
There are some incredible homes available in STINSON BEACH and BOLINAS. From Oceanfront to “almost Oceanfront”.
REMEMBER: IF YOUR FRIENDS BUY BEACH HOUSES, YOU DON’T HAVE TO!!!
As for California Oceanfront, it has been one of the best investments in the world, and one you get to enjoy while it is an investment!
True it is, and there are in fact some great homes for sale up there, one of which includes this nice little shack to stash the children (or surfboards, wetsuits, umbrella, keg, bong, and other beach paraphernalia).
For more on how you can obtain the $2,450,000 home that comes with this shack, check the website. For an even more complete list of oceanfront property that could very well send you to nirvana, give us a shout and we’ll gladly show you what else is out there, and call you our friend and come visit…that is the point right? “REMEMBER: IF YOUR FRIENDS BUY BEACH HOUSES, YOU DON’T HAVE TO!!!”
