The Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) is adding 3.67 acres of oceanfront land to its 119-acre Pillar Point Bluff property, POST announced Dec. 18. The new property is north of Pillar Point in Half Moon Bay.
POST bought the property for $495,000 from the estate of the late Elizabeth M. Gunn of Los Altos, whose husband bought the land in 1981, POST said.
The area is popular with hikers, joggers, dog-walkers and other visitors, said Walter T. Moore, POST’s executive vice president.
In 2004, POST, in partnership with the California Coastal Conservancy, bought Pillar Point Bluff, where the two organizations plan to start building the Jean Lauer Trail next summer. The trail will be part of the California Coastal Trail, which will stretch the length of the coastline.
