Casa Boronda • Monterey

Authentic and matchless piece of California history

This one-of-a-kind property was built on four acres as Monterey’s first residence in 1817, when the city served as the capital of Alta California under Spanish rule. The adobe house and two outbuildings reflect the Spanish, Mexican and American influences that the dwellings have experienced in over 200 years of existence.

At the time of Casa Boronda’s construction, Spanish soldiers and their families occupied the Presidio in Monterey and no other homes existed outside the Presidio walls. The Spanish king granted the land to Don Manuel Boronda as compensation for 20 years of mostly unpaid military service. Boronda went on to raise his family in the adobe and over two centuries later, the echoes of history blend with modern conveniences in a respectful and authentic presentation.

Eight generations of the Boronda family lived on the property until 1939 and since then, few owners have had the privilege of enjoying as well as preserving this estate. This is a unique moment in time to become the next steward of this iconic treasure. See more of Casa Boronda on page 22.

Monterey Coast Realty has been serving the greater Monterey Peninsula area since 2009. Over these 14 years, we’ve celebrated the benefi ts of living in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Most recently, we have highlighted the advantages of living in our friendly, healthy and vibrant community on the Central Coast. While we are all aff ected in one way or another by current macro-economic challenges, political battles, and ongoing health concerns, clearly our community remains protected from much of the more divisive problems that seem to be occurring in many major metropolitan markets. This year, we continue to fi nd numerous reasons to cherish our lifestyle on the Peninsula. Right now, a more measurable advantage is the relative strength of our real estate market. While we are frequently reminded of major real estate woes across the country, our local data appears to be holding stronger, especially regarding home values. Over the last 8 to 10 months, our market has experienced a signifi cant reduction in the number of sales transactions: we are down approximately 50 percent in sales since the previous year. While this aff ects our total sales dollar volume, and we have experienced a reduction in home values, our overall relative home values seem to be holding stronger than most markets nationwide. For specifi c insight and more detail on local market results, please see the Monterey Coast Realty 2022 Annual Market Report, available at MontereyCoastRealty.com, or contact us with any questions.

As part of our commitment to giving back to the community, our company and agents often engage in hands-on support for the many important local nonprofi ts serving those in need on the Monterey Peninsula. In this edition of Monterey Coast Homes Magazine, we highlight some exciting new developments underway with the Veterans Transition Center of California, located on the former Fort Ord base in Marina. A new developing relationship forming between the VTC and Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula could dramatically increase the number of meals provided to the elderly and others, while simultaneously providing employable skills to veterans on their way to self-suffi ciency.

At Monterey Coast Realty and sister company Carmel Realty Company, we cherish our team of professional Realtors and like to share some of their other interests beyond real estate. In this issue, we feature one of our leading agents, Ed Bass. In addition to being a successful Realtor here in Monterey and previously in the East Bay area, Ed has had a fascinating career in baseball and is now sharing his expertise to help local high schoolers advance their skills while also gaining important life lessons.

As always, we showcase some of the notable homes our agents have sold and feature several outstanding properties that our company is currently off ering for sale across the Peninsula. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if we can assist you or your friends and family with any real estate activity.

We hope you enjoy the magazine.
