Description

A turnkey chance to own a charming Bed & Breakfast, an artisanal Bakery, a stylish Bar & Grill, and a versatile Wedding & Event Venue—all in the heart of downtown Cayucos, just one block from the ocean. Originally built in 1875 by Captain Cass, the iconic Cass House is a 30,000 sq ft (0.68-acre) estate zoned for commercial use, offering significant potential for hospitality, retail, or private residential purposes. This landmark property features four distinct structures, including the renowned Bijou Bakery. The main residence, beautifully restored to its 1876 grandeur, includes ensuite bedrooms, a reception area, a banquet room, a formal dining room, and a commercial-grade kitchen. A picturesque wedding arbor and expansive lawn provide an idyllic event setting, while a guest house offers additional accommodations or on-site management space. The property also includes cold storage, dry storage, public restrooms, on-site parking, and established gardens, perfect for farm-to-table dining. The fully equipped restaurant space, formerly the Cass House Bar & Grill, is ready to reopen with a wood-fired oven, professional-grade kitchen, full bar, and an alfresco dining pavilion with retractable covers. The Bijou Bakery currently operates under a month-to-month lease, giving the new owner flexibility to renegotiate terms or explore new opportunities. The Cass House, originally priced at 5 million more than a decade ago, was acquired in 2014 for 2.5 million. Substantial investments were made to redevelop the property, including the addition of new structures like a bar & grill, bakery, outdoor pavilion, storage, restrooms, and parking facilities. Throughout the development process, the property's original architecture was carefully preserved to ensure its charm and character were maintained. This project required dedication and passion to bring to fruition. Accessible from 149 Cayucos Dr. and 222 N. Ocean Ave., this rare investment offers a blend of history, oceanfront proximity, and commercial potential in a thriving coastal community. Whether as a hospitality business or private estate, the Cass House is an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of California history.
