This is your opportunity to own a rare beautiful luxury-style ranch with unmatched sunrises. Set on almost 7 sunny usable acres just 6 minutes to Hwy 1 and downtown Aptos, 1251 Cox Rd blends privacy, convenience, and a fully remodeled single-level layout. The main residence features 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, including two ensuite bedrooms with the primary suite privately positioned on its own wing. Facing due east, the home welcomes golden sunrise light across the great room and front acreage. Outdoors, expansive level areas invite gardens, orchard, hobby vineyard, play fields, or future amenities. The backyard provides an open canvas for a pool, tennis court, or even an outdoor oasis. A detached guest house adds flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, or office/studio use, and adjoins a large garage/workspace. Recent updates deliver turnkey comfort; modern finishes, refreshed baths, and a cohesive palette throughout, while the single-story design keeps life simple. Enjoy the best of Aptos living: room to breathe, quick access to beaches, shops, and schools, and an easy commute corridor to Santa Cruz or Silicon Valley. A rare acreage opportunity with a fully remodeled ranch, separated bedroom wings, and true indoor-outdoor potential; ready for your next chapter.
