About This Home

You know that ridgetop home where you can see everything? The one with unparalleled views that make you feel like youre on top of the world? You wake up and have coffee on the balcony overlooking the entire valley. The kids are already racing to get eggs from the chicken coop while your house guests are waking up in their own private unit. Everyones got space, but nobody feels disconnected. Your family just spreads out naturally, someones relaxing in the great room, the kids disappear to spend hours in the game room, and youve got the perfect spot waiting to become whatever sports court your family wants. Basketball, pickleball, tennis, whatever gets the family together. Nights are spent telling stories and laughing while you roast s'mores over the firepit. When your extended family visits, they genuinely dont want to leave. Theres room for everyone to spread out comfortably. A short drive puts you close to Soquel restaurants, but with sunset views like this, youll never want to leave. This is the kind of place where you stop looking at real estate apps because you already found what everyone else is searching for.
