About This Home

Welcome home to Rancho Escondido in beautiful Aptos! Set amongst mature landscaping on the ocean side of Highway 1 and just minutes to Rio del Mar beach, shopping and restaurants, this immaculate single-level 3 bedroom home with Spanish-Mediterranean influences features an inviting entry courtyard with private sitting area and covered porches which lead to a hand carved front door with wrought iron hardware. Upon entering, you are greeted with a dramatic vaulted living room with skylights, chandelier and period all-stone fireplace.
