About This Home

A spectacular & park-like setting! Set above the coastline on a gently rolling hilltop is a mid-century ranch home on 4.5 acres with massive unobstructed views of Monterey Bay. Panoramic views encompass Moss Landing and sweep west beyond Steamer Lane to an ever-changing horizon of sea, sky, and coastal terrain. On clear mornings the Pacific glistens and white sand beaches outline the coastline. Offered for the first time in nearly 50 years, the property has remained quietly preserved and rarely seen. Its elevation, privacy, and protected sightlines make it one of the county's most enduring view parcels. The home retains its 1950s character, enhanced by recent upgrades: new roof, flooring & fresh paint, & current certifications for septic, well, & fire hardening. The single-level layout is intuitive: living, dining, kitchen, and family rooms all face the ocean. A central courtyard anchors the home, offering a wind-sheltered space for outdoor meals, morning coffee, or simply listening to birdsong. Access is discreet: a private drive just one minute from Soquel Drive, yet the setting feels worlds away. Few visible neighbors; just sky, sea, and forest. For those seeking legacy land, ecological beauty, & long-term privacy, this is one of Santa Cruz County's most spectacular settings.
