Truly rare opportunity to acquire a piece of history and make it part of your life, your family, your company, your legacy. An opportunity that is indeed priceless. This landmark Estate known as Pyne Castle began construction by E. Walter Pyne in 1927 and is poised on several acres of prime ocean view property. The grand entrance to this magnificent estate presents a long driveway winding up to the main house motor court with sweeping ocean vistas. Surrounding the Castle, the grounds are just as stunning as the house itself, with elegant residences or guest cottages in park-like setting of rose gardens, magnificent old trees, manicured sweeping lawns and fountains. This is truly a masterpiece that is reminiscent of a bygone era. Originally a 62 room mansion the converted residence is being used as apartments. 12 permitted units and 4 non-conforming units. Acreage includes 1.2 ac that a lot line adjustment is applied for. Once considered as The Western White House for Presiden Nixon.
