About This Home

As of September 2020

1051 Cathedral is a Cape Cod-style cabin nestled in a sun-drenched grove of mighty coastal redwoods - 7 minutes from Aptos beaches. Hiking trails and 50 miles of state forest at Nisene Marks are out your front door, and the conveniences of the new Aptos Village restaurants and shops are a 5-minute drive up the road. Sandy beaches and easy freeway access are moments beyond that. The indescribable beauty and serenity of the forest combined with the love and history that emanates from this sweet cabin make this special property a California golden nugget. 20 plus established fruit trees on the land, including figs, avocados, lemons, pears plums. Be prepared for your soul and spirit to ignite when you come to see it!
