EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Perched high above the Pacific Ocean on California’s Central Coast, the Former Cambria Air Force Station is a striking 34± acre hilltop compound — a Cold War landmark reborn as a rare opportunity for visionaries, developers, and preservationists.
Originally commissioned in the early 1950s as part of the U.S. Air Force’s radar defense network, the site was operational through 1980 and remains an unmistakable feature of Cambria. Thirty-two (32) buildings and structures — radar towers, barracks, operations centers, bowling alley, and support facilities — still stand, preserving the site’s historic character.
Amidst this historic setting, a spacious 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence. This unique combination of historic legacy and secluded living creates a truly one-of-a-kind estate.
Today, this private, gated property offers an unparalleled canvas for adaptive reuse, luxury retreat, institutional campus, or private estate development (subject to county approval). Its scale, infrastructure, and location make it one of the most distinctive real estate offerings on California’s Central Coast.
Buyer to perform all due diligence regarding zoning, entitlements, utilities, and environmental assessments.
