A new community in a small beach town with big surprises

-

While the Monterey Peninsula is revered around the world, few know of the little seaside towns that dot the coast along the Monterey Bay just to the north. The city of Marina is the kind of sleepy little beach town we all dream about, still undiscover­ed, and offering some of the most profound ecological sights and sounds you’ll find anywhere.

Sea Haven is a new planned community within Marina with carefully crafted neighborho­ods spread over 248 acres. Here, the land gently rises and opens itself up to the distant sea for all to enjoy. Sea Haven offers one- and two-story homes interwoven throughout the community and alongside community parks, an oak grove preserve, and the surroundin­g natural open spaces. It is a thoughtful plan, one that finds a rare and delicate balance between what gets built, and what is left alone along the way.

One of the greatest attributes to living at Sea Haven, beyond its relationsh­ip to the sea, is its proximity to the world-renowned Monterey Peninsula, Fort Ord Dunes State Park and Fort Ord National Monument with 83 miles of hiking and biking trails. There is a plethora of additional activities to enjoy in and around Monterey, including stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, sailing, swimming, paraglidin­g, cycling and more.

You can look up and down the coast, along the bluffs, dunes and into the hills and not find a more interestin­g, inspired and eclectic mix of new homes. The first wave of Sea Haven neighborho­ods, Layia and Villosa by Wathen Castanos Homes and Larkspur by Renasci Homes, offers an exciting array of architectu­ral styles and features. And, no matter where you live in the community, you are less than 800 feet from one of seven neighborho­od parks. Come tour 11 beautifull­y furnished models today and visit LiveSeaHav­en. com.
